life. Leading off, we have an interview with director Shekhar Kapur, followed by reviews from Tucson Weekly and Austin Chronicle.
Also reviewed this week: "Velvet Goldmine," "Enemy of the State," "The Celebration," "One Tough Cop," "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Living Out Loud,"
"Lolita," "The Eel," and more in Mini-Reviews.
