LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
aking the old new again is a dominating trend in Hollywood these
days. From the reissue of a souped-up "Star Wars" to
the recent modifications to "Touch of Evil," movie makers are revisiting the past. Get a taste of "Touch of Evil" from Tucson Weekly's Stacey Richter and an interview with the remastered film's producer Rick Schmidlin from Weekly Alibi's Devin O'Leary.
What kind of affect on society has the movie industry had? Michael
Ventura takes us on a trip through the 20th century to analyze
how the big screen--and the business behind it--has changed our culture in "Letters at 3AM." Austin Chronicle's Bill Stott gives us some insight into current film making in "The Making of 'Olympia.'"
Reviews this week include "Meet Joe Black," "American History X," "The Siege," and many quick looks in
Mini Reviews.
Video & TV this week looks at Hollywood spoofs, Neil Jordan films on video, more on cartoons, satellite TV, and NBC series "Wil & Grace."
