For better or worse (often the latter), nominations for the Academy
Awards are largely a result of lobbying.  There are people in
Hollywood whose sole job is to lobby nominations.  A positive aspect
of this is little seen films such as "Rambling Rose" can receive
recognition.

Long ago I gave up on the Oscars being the definitive award of film
excellence.  Still, I am hopeful, and occasionally encouraged when
films like "Silence of the Lambs" wins what it deserves.

I am hopeful for Malkovich, his performance is deserving.

     But Adrian Kroenouer (or however you spell it) did write a second

That was a pretty good job he did faking being a woman in the opening 
scene! :-)

My final conclusion:  The producers made two versions of the movie, one
with the final scene, one without.  They then showed it to audiences and
the one that got a better rating is the one we saw.  I came out of that
movie feeling very manipulated.

The only thing that tips the evidence more to Catherine is the passage
in her book about the partner getting it in the elevator.  HOWEVER--
if Beth called the partner (sorry, I forgot his name) and asked to meet
him, it's conceivable that she'd wait for him by the elevator, so a
coincidence is not out of the realm of possibility.

Jurassic Park the movie is bound to fail because the source

how the effects of humans interacting with herds to single

some of the best stop-motion/animatronic effects ever for the

Hackman's "problem" is he'll work on almost anything -- like Michale Caine
(anotherunder-rated actor) he's often the victim of lousy material. As for not
making a decent film in the last five years (apart from those mentioned above!)
-- he's still batting better than average.

Like most "good" (or great) actor's, hackman has the ability to "save" material
-- he can take an inferior script and push it to something that is at least
tolerable. IMHO that is often the sign of a good actor.

The "acting" world has two basic strategies: take everything and struggle to
make it good (you make more money that way), or wait for the best roles (those
you CAN do with the least ammount of "saving") and let the material carry YOU.

That's why Hollywood film-making is considered a "collaborative effort" -- you
try to find the "un--f**kable script" (so any fool can play the part), get the
best director (someone who won't f**k the script), get the best actor ( a Star
who won't f**k the script or the director), and hope people pay to see it.
Usually they manage 2 of the three elements. Hackman works in those perameters
and is very good at it.

Give him a solid script and a silod dorector and he's unbeatable -- UNFORGIVEN,
THE CONVERSATION, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, FULL MOON OVER BLUE WATER -- all
demonstrate how versatile he really is.

Actually, I bet it *was* spoken in several films, just not in the one it

Well, being an ex-wife is no longer considered a cool full-time 
profession, not even the ex-wife of Steven Spielberg:-).  Nor does it 
exclude the possibility that she sings and acts, both of which she 
does.  I understand that she does, or did, a lot of stage work, and 
played Constanza in the Broadway production of "Amadeus." 

I've seen her in two films, "Crossing Delancey" and "The Competition," 
with Richard Dreyfus.  The second movie, which I saw on tv, was one 
that I liked quite a lot, despite the fact that the reviewer claimed 
it was a dog.  I thought it was an interesting story with two strong 
performances from Irving and Dreyfus.

	I didn't think Robin Hood was that bad.  True, the
going got REALLY slow in the middle, and Costner did suck;
but Morgan Freeman's performance was wonderful and the final
action scene in the Sheriff's castle was really well done.  
Isn't killing people a joke in every action movie?

You're thinking of Winona Ryder who played the cabbie in Jim Jarmusch's

I think she was last seen in "Betsy's Wedding" with Alan Alda.

Vampirism.  His hair got more grey as the influence of Dracula increased 
and the mystic strain was greater.  He was resisting with all his might, 
but the vampiric effect was taking its toll....  Then when Dracula is 
redeemed/defeated Harker is back to normal.

I thought that was a great touch.

Namaste,
Elizabeth
