LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
obert Altman's latest film, "Cookie's Fortune," casts
an eye on small town America. More light-hearted than his recent release, "The Gingerbread Man," or his classic, "M*A*S*H," the film sports a terrific cast including Patricia Neal, Glenn Close, Charles Dutton, Chris O'Donnell, Liv Tyler, Courtney B. Vance, and Lyle Lovett. Newcity Chicago's Ray Pride sits down with Altman for a chat, plus we have reviews from Memphis Flyer and Nashville Scene.
Also reviewed this week are "The General," "10 Things I Hate About You" (from Austin Chronicle and Tucson Weekly), "Never Been Kissed," "A
Walk On The Moon," "Go," "A Place Called Chiapas," and "Uncut."
Plus interviews, behind the scenes looks, new late night TV,
and more.
