ou've been blockbustered to death this summer. We know. Finally two movies have come along that seem to be amazing critics and audiences alike: "Saving Private Ryan," and "The Mask of Zorro." We have special mini-sections devoted to reviews and comments of each. After being bombarded by space rocks, chased by a giant lizard, and generally computer graphic-ed to death, the critics are cheering both films. "Saving Private Ryan" is being applauded for the searing content and "The Mark of Zorro" for the simple fun factor. Enjoy.

Summer is typically a time for film revivals. The Austin Chronicle reports on a particularly meaty one. The article here is just part of a larger piece to be found at the Chronicle web site. After reading, be sure to follow the Chronicle's link.

Attention B-movie freaks! Tucson Weekly's James DiGiovanna reviews a new book on the international B-movie scene. Pete Tombs' "Mondo Macabro" shows us the Hong Kong cinema (naturally), but also gets into the sleaze cinema of Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, Argentina, the Phillippines and more. Yeah!
