LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
etween now and Labor Day, nearly 150 films are set to debut on the nation's silver screens, reflecting everything from supersized blockbusters and rowdy teen pics to auteurist comedy and the inevitable ripoffs of hits past.
Grace Quek grew up in middle-class family in one of the world's most puritanical developed places, Singapore. She has become infamous as pornstar Annabel Chong, a journey chronicled in a documentary film.
Viewing Mike Figgis' new film, "Time Code," is like watching some split-screen throwback to the experimental days of the mid-Sixties to mid-Seventies. Not completely successful, it nevertheless makes it hard to look at movies, or the world, the same way again.
Also, a look at the films of director Douglas Sirk, a chat with actor Peter Gallagher, and more.
