April 26 - May 3, 1999
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
 he latest existentialist conundrum from creepy Canadian David Cronenberg is "eXistenZ." Cronenberg, who has given us such memorable films as "Scanners," "Videodrome," and "Dead Ringers," now presents us with a freakshow sci-fi film mixing virtual reality, organic video games and mutated frogs. Check the reaction from reviewers in Albuquerque, Boston, and Chicago.
"Hideous Kinky" sounds like it could be another of Cronenberg's works, but it's actually the new work from director Gillies MacKinnon. We've got an interview with MacKinnon and a review of his film.
For good measure, there are two more reviews of "Goodbye Lover" (from Tucson Weekly and Metro Pulse), a couple of reviews of "Pushing Tin" (from Austin Chronicle and Boston Phoenix), and reviews of "Windhorse," "A Walk on the Moon," "La Cucaracha," "Lost and Found," "Mighty Peking Man," and "Steam: The Turkish Bath."
