You'll also find reviews on the new Irish crime comedy/drama, "I Went Down" and Robert Altman's latest, "The Gingerbread Man." And this is just a sample--we're deep with reviews here, kids.

The Farrelly brothers--makers of "Dumb and Dumber," and "Kingpin" are interviewed by Newcity Chicago's Ray Pride. The Farrellys' new one, "Something About Mary," is just about to come out and Pride talks to these nuts about concepts ranging from good taste vs. bad taste to using wheelchair-bound people as sight gags. Also check out this week's Book section for a review of Peter Farrelly's new book.

Joe Leydon of FW Weekly compares Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" with the previously made films taken from Elmore Leonard novels in Leaning on Leonard.

Don't miss the profile/interview with sexploitation director, Doris Wishman--maker of "Bad Girls Go To Hell," "Nudes On The Moon," "Deadly Weapons" among others. She wrote, produced, directed, shot and edited over 25 "nudie" films from the 1960s to the 80s. She's been rediscovered. You'll find Doris pretty refreshing.
