LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ussell Banks' novel "Affliction" is now playing on the

chats with the director, while we get reviews of the movie from Nashville Scene and Austin Chronicle.
Mike Judge makes the jump to live-action film with "Office

Hugh Wilson talks about making his latest film, "Blast From
the Past" with Chicago Newcity's Ray Pride--the test
marketing with baggy pantsed teenagers, picking a lead, etc.--in
"Going 60's." Also up is a review of the film from Salt Lake City Weekly's Greg Beacham in "There is Life Underground."
Reviews this week include: "My Favorite Martian," "Still Crazy," "Little Voices," "October Sky"--from
