LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
o the generations who have come to think of American society during World War II as a monolith of the upright and squeaky-clean, the movies of Preston Sturges are a revelation. They show us the kind of cynicism, greed, deceit, and obsession with sex that we recognize from today.
Norman Jewison is a contemporary director, and his latest film, "The Hurricane," is meeting with mixed reaction, though not for Denzel Washington's performance. Check in with our reviews from Tucson, Albuquerque, and Austin.
What makes Fox's new sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle" such an appealing prospect is the frightening level to which its goofball reality mirrors our own twisted childhoods.
Plus, a review of "Girl, Interrupted" and an interview with one of its stars, Angelina Jolie, the new year on television, and more.
