s "Titanic" finally arrives at the video store, Michael Ventura takes a cynical look at the most talented actor in the movie. Who is it? Give up? Read about it in "Letters at 3AM."

"54" seems to be taking a critical nose dive, with reviewers overwhelmingly asking director Mark Christopher to leave disco where it belongs, in the grave or hanging prosthetically from actor Mark Wahlberg's crotch in "Boogie Nights." Read more in "Disco Junk" and "Paying Your Dues," as well as quick looks at the film from Nashville, Boston, and Tucson.

Actress Hope Davis is back on the big screen in "Next Stop, Wonderland." Her independent and big studio work has garnered her critical acclaim. Making the dive back into the indie film waters, we have both an interview with her and a review from Weekly Alibi.

Rounding out the film section is another look at "Your Friends and Neighbors" from director Neil LaBute, more quick clips of current films, a look at the Pocahantas direct-to-video sequel, and a new book from film critic Manny Farber.
