Because there are some people who would find it offensive I didn't. :-)

There's a difference between using the word as profanity (which I bleeped
out) and using it in quotes (I've heard "bitch" on TV before).

I couldn't care less which fucking way it's done.
Better? ;-)

Here is the movies I can think of:

Friday the 13th Part 8

Star Trek part 6

Police Academy part ?

I'm not sure how many Police Academys there are but I think that
Friday the 13th has the most sequels out of any movie that was shown
at a movie theatre.

Well, you're assuming the crew would mean "CSTFaggots" in a negative
or depreciative manner, as it sort of reads in BogusMan's post.  Not
all gayfolk consider 'faggot' to be an insult, and used among them-
selves (OK, ourselves, these are my own observations, after all), 
faggot/queer/queen/girlfriend! are bandied about casually, and even
affectionately.

The posting was kind o' snide and cutting, but I don't think you can

Wait a minute. I did see the U.S version (I think) and that's exactly how it

actually swim away. They just seemed to be playing in the midst of the
ocean, and I don't recall anything about her being pregnant. Is that the

A Better Tommorrow is competently done as I mentioned. I really detest
most hindi-films and their soap-opera type plots and acting, and I
suspect the similarity of ABT to such films may have something to
do with why I disliked it.

Your comments about 'once Woo is recognized as famous, will his
earlier works be re-evaluated' brings up and interesting point.
In University a friend and I used to watch a lot of movies, in the
theatre and on video and we used 'Movies on TV' (Ed Schuyer) as
a guide. My friend used to keep his old copies and he noticed that
after Woody Allen got a few Oscars for Annie Hall, the ratings for
his earlier movies were revised upward in this guide ! In earlier
years his movies had not been favourably looked upon, but once he
became recognized as a great director, his earlier works were
re-evaluated ! Thats critics for you !

I read an interview Roger Ebert had with George Lucas in 1991 and Lucas
confirmed that the new movies we going to eventually be made...He even hinted
at he had a good idea of what the stories will be about and that they we
planning on going into the pre-production stages within the next year...
Also, Someone has told that, in the Lucasfilm newsletter, Lucas said that he
was going to put his efforts into the Star Wars movies after the he finnished
with the "Young Indiana Jones" escapade....Also....last year, on CNN, It was
said that he was under contract to eventually do 3 more Star Wars
Movies...Having to do with a young Obiwan Kenobi and Anikan Skywalker...
It was said that the 1st movie is to be released between 1995-2000....

I bet they'll do a 2000 release....who knows....

                                 ZEBRAHEAD
                      A film review by Mark R. Leeper

          Capsule review:  This is a realistic but far too open-
     ended story of racial tensions that may or may not have led
     to violence.  Story of a white Jewish boy dating a black girl
     and its eventual outcome by neophyte writer-director Anthony
     Drazen avoids being too obviously a Romeo-and-Juliet story,
     but ends up muddling whatever point it was trying to make.
     Rating: low +1 (-4 to +4).

     The setting is Detroit in what was once a middle-class neighborhood.
Now it is run-down, bombed-out, and polluted over.  One guy in the
neighborhood likes to set fire to his lawn and see it burn in jets of flame
from some flammable pollutant in the soil.  These days the people who live
in this neighborhood are people who have no other choice.  The area is
dominated by blacks, with some Asians, Hispanics, and Jews mixed in.  Zack
Glass (played by Michael Rapaport) is a Jew, but his culture and friends are
black.  Zack's father Richard (played by Ray Sharkey) runs a record store.
Richard has two interests in life: making sure he and his son are getting
enough sex, and listening to black music from the 1950s and 1960s.

     Zack's best friend Dee (played by DeShonn Castle) is black.  Through
him Zack meets Dee's beautiful cousin Nikki (played by N'Bushe Wright).
When Zack starts dating Nikki, their friends and family are not sure what to
make of the situation.  There seems to be a suspicion that a white-black
relationship will not work out, but this is not "Romeo and Juliet" or "West
Side Story."  This is not a story of whites and blacks at war, but there are
tensions that set events in motion that do lead to violence.

     ZEBRAHEAD is not a simplistic story.  Even when violence does occur it
is left open to the viewer's interpretation whether or not the violence even
can be termed a racial incident.  Anthony Drazen has shown us the background
for an incident without tying it up and making it simple.  As a first-time
writer and director he has told a story that is probably near his own
experience and his characters both talk and act realistically.  Most are
also acting for the first time and probably playing characters much like
themselves.  The only familiar face is, in fact, Ray Sharkey, a rather good
actor who takes James Woods sorts of roles.  The dialogue and acting are
both quite acceptable considering the overall lack of experience.  Only the
ambiguity of the events of the story works against the film.  However, one
does get to the end of this film expecting some point to have been made a
little more strongly than Drazen has.  The "Okay, so what?" dissatisfied
feeling does not serve this film well.  As a result, I give it a low +1 on
the -4 to +4 scale.

It depends on what mood he's in. You can also add James Edward Olmos to the

I went to see Under Siege this past weekend and I have to say I
was disappointed.  I guess this is because people were comparing it 
to DieHard but on a ship and I had my hopes up for a lot of action,
explosions, etc. but it just didnt happen.  Sure there were some explosions
and action but not at the magnitude of Diehard.  
The thing that got to me is how Segal and the few people he had helping
him out were just walking out on the deck? of the ship which had terrorists
with machine guns standing everywhere.  They acted as if they were the only
ones out there.  
Another thing which bothered me is that how did Segal know exactly how
much time to "cook" the "homemade bomb" that he put in the microwave.
I mean that the buzzer happen to go off right before the bomb exploded and
there happen to be several of the terrorists in the room at the time.
If I were going to microwave a homemade bomb I would just put it on Hi
and set it for as long as I could.  The way it happend in the movie
it seems that if he would have set the timer for about 5 seconds less the
bomb wouldnt have "cooked" long enough and nothing would have happened.
I know that this was done just for the effect of one of the guys hearing
the buzzer going off and saying, "What is that" and the the bomb exploding
but it is things like this that remind me that I'm only watching a movie 
because it wouldnt happen in the real world.  I know Segal is supposed to be
an expert at this but even if he knew exactly how long to cook it(of course
knowing the wattage of the microwave) he had no idea when there would
be anyone in the vicinity of the microwave to be affected by the "bomb".

One other thing was how the blond was so scared at first then she turns into
"Mrs. Rambo" where she grabs  a gun and follows Segal when there are bullets
flying everywhere acting like she doesnt care that she could get hit by one
any second and be killed.
 
Overall the movie was okay but if you are expecting DieHard you will be
disappointed.  This is my opinion, of course.

Darren

P.S I'm glad Under Siege was playing because if it wasnt I would have 
watched Passenger 57 and according to the net, that would have been
a mistake.

It's ever painful when the movie stars somebody you are generally

It may help to have read the play but it is better to just watch it, and
experience it.....I DID get a lot more out of it the second time around...


I think that all of Greenaway's stuff is very self-consciously clever
even back to his shorts he really gets into the details.

Prospero's Books certainly is worth seeing just for the moving painting
quality of the film...But I think that you miss a lot if that's all
you get out of it....

	I haven't seen too many comments about this film on the net. 
After viewing it, I first have a couple of words for those who haven't:
IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE NOVELLA - DON'T READ IT BEFORE YOU SEE THE FILM,
it will enhance your enjoyment of both the written word and the rich visual 
images of this fine film.  Just as in "Ordinary People", Robt. Redford once
more places us right in the midst of a family although perhaps more in the
adulthood memories of a family. From the opening words of the narrator (Redford
himself) and the opening shot to the closing words and shot, here is a quality
film.  The performances are all quite good, in fact I'd like to see Tom Skerrit
get some sort of an Oscar nomination for his fine role. This is a film about
relationships: among family members, between a young man and a young woman, and
between individuals and their avocations, both personal and professional. The
intertwining of these relationships and the impact on the lives of those we
witness while viewing the film held my interest with no flagging whatsoever.
It's obvious that this film was a "labor of love" and I'd like to think that
Norman MacLean would have been proud iof it and njoyed it if he had lived to
 see it. See for yourself - you'll be glad you did.
