Volume II, Issue 38
March 15 - March 22, 1999
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
lia Kazan was one of the lowest of the low, naming names in the
50's during the trials of the House Committee on Un-American Activies.
Giving up his fellow actors, directors, and such, Kazan is unrepentant
to this day. Now he is inexplicably being awarded an honorary
Oscar award. Boston Phoenix's Gerald Peary tells the story
in "Honor Roll."
Interviews abound this week with chats (or attempted chats) with
documentarian Nick Broomfield, writer-director Roger Kumble, writer-director
Guy Ritchie, director Jack Hill (also including a look back at
his career), and filmmaker Myles Berkowitz.
Video & TV this week takes a look at two new TV shows: Showtime's
"Total Recall 2070" and CBS' "Payne."
Reviews this week include: "Cruel Intentions," "Rushmore," "Analyze This," "Wing Commander," "The Corruptor," "The Rage: Carrie 2," "Six String Samurai," and more in Mini-Reviews.
