Some of the characters were a little on the strange side, but that's what made it interesting. I just found the concept of being able to literally get into someone's head like Malkovitch to be cool. It's an interesting concept, sort of a take on Alice in Wonderland...step through this door to experience someone else's life firsthand. Although the thought of being dump somewhere in Jersey didn't appeal to me:) As for identifying with characters in movies in order to enjoy them, that criteria would severely curtail my viewing pleasure. I didn't think that I had too much in common with the characters in the Matrix, Pulp Fiction, or Run Lola Run, but I still enjoyed the movies.

"Pokemon: The First Movie" continues to ride a wave of popularity among elementary school-aged children. The animated Warner Brothers film, which follows Pikachu and friends as they battle a bio-engineered foe, has earned $52.1 million since its debut Wednesday, a new five-day record for animated features. "Pokemon couldn't be hotter than it is right now," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc., which tracks the box office. "Kids are insatiable for entertainment and they'll consume everything that comes out in a big way." The film has been helped by an ongoing fervor among children for Pokemon trading cards and a tie-in promotional campaign with Burger King. For the uninitiated, Pokemon is a blend of the words "pocket monster." It started as a Japanese cartoon and caught on in the United States as a Nintendo game and trading card series. Last week's top film, "The Bone Collector," took the No. 2 spot with an estimated $12 million in ticket sales. The movie stars Denzel Washington as a bedridden New York cop who tries to track down a serial killer. The debut of director Kevin Smith's controversial film "Dogma" ranked third with $8.8 million. The movie has raised the ire of some Roman Catholics for its irreverent look at the nature of faith. "Sometimes there's no such thing as bad press," said Dergarabedian. "Film recognition and awareness by an audience are really important and the director has been pounding the pavement pretty hard." Moviegoers benefited from a wide range of choices this weekend with films for all ages and backgrounds, Dergarabedian said. Audiences, for example, continued to spook themselves with "The Sixth Sense," starring Bruce Willis. The movie finished tenth in the weekend tally with $2.7 million and has earned $267.8 million since debuting 15 weeks ago. The film could reach the $300 million plateau if it receives a Golden Globe or Oscar nomination, said Chuck Viane, president of distribution for Disney's Buena Vista Pictures. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (AP) - Cigarette maker Brown & Williamson Tobacco is accusing The Walt Disney Co. of maliciously distorting the truth in a new movie chronicling the struggles of a tobacco industry whistleblower. In a full-page newspaper ad, Brown & Williamson contends that "The Insider" wrongly suggests that the tobacco company threatened the life of former B&W executive Jeffrey Wigand. "They said we committed a crime - threatening someone is criminal activity," said Mark Smith, a Brown & Williamson spokesman. "We're very concerned about it. We're considering our options, in terms of a lawsuit." The film, released last week, focuses on Wigand and a battle within CBS over whether to air a "60 Minutes" story about his allegations that tobacco companies manipulated nicotine levels in cigarettes and lied about their addictive power. The ad in Friday's Wall Street Journal was partly an attempt to counter appearances by Wigand and others promoting the movie, Smith said. The other motive was to get the attention of Disney executives, who ignored Brown & Williamson's attempt to get the script changed, he said. A Disney spokesman said the film was a responsible telling of Wigand's story, and includes a disclaimer saying there is no known connection between Brown & Williamson and the threats against Wigand. "The film itself never suggests who might have been behind the threats," John Dreyer said. -=> * <=- NEW YORK (AP) - The newest Bond Girl says the idea of playing opposite Agent 007 at first excited her, until she turned on the TV and saw her casting announced on the evening news. "I didn't realize just how huge James Bond was until that moment," Denise Richards says in the December issue of Cosmopolitan. "It scared me, because I thought, 'Wow, this is a huge move, people are going to see this!' I'm used to doing stuff that you never know if anyone's going to see." Richards, who has acted in "Wild Things" and "Starship Troopers," plays nuclear weapons expert, Dr. Christmas Jones, in "The World is not Enough," which opens Nov. 19. As for her co-star, Richards says Pierce Brosnan is "a class act, a real gentleman." -=> * <=- NEW YORK (AP) - Winona Ryder says she's feeling a little nervous about her new movie "Girl, Interrupted." Ryder, 28, said in Sunday's New York Times that she invested more of herself in this role than in any other because of a personal connection. The film is based on Susanna Kaysen's memoir of a two-year stay as a teen-ager in a psychiatric clinic. Ryder briefly checked herself into a hospital at age 20 for treatment of depression, something she never discussed publicly before. "I was overworked and overtired - too tired to sleep," she said. "The worst part of it was not being able to describe it - the overwhelming horror of the anxiety attacks - even to my own family, to the people closest to me." Ryder's father gave her Kaysen's book a year later, and she said she immediately identified with the experience. "I was just coming out of my very serious depression, and I didn't know what to label it, just as Susanna doesn't know what to label hers," she said. The movie is scheduled to open Dec. 21. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Gwyneth Paltrow is said to be circling Paramount Pictures romantic comedy "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." "How to Lose a Guy" finds its roots in the illustrated guide of the same name that chronicles the "don'ts of dating" and what it takes to doom a promising relationship - in just 10 days. "How to Lose a Guy" tells the story of a womanizer who bets his friends he can stay in a relationship for more than 10 days. He winds up getting more than he bargained for when the woman he chooses tries to get rid of him. Paltrow, now before cameras for Miramax's "Bounce," has not yet locked in her next feature project but has expressed interest in "How to Lose a Guy." No director is on board. -=> * <=- NEW YORK (Billboard) - Julia Ormond will join Vince Vaughn and Ed Harris in the dark comedy "Prime Gig" for Cary Woods' New Line Cinema-based Independent Pictures. Veteran stage director Gregory Mosher makes his feature helming debut on the film, which begins shooting next week in Los Angeles. The movie follows a soon-to-be laid-off telemarketer who undertakes a quixotic search for the perfect phone job. Screenwriter William Wheeler developed the script at the Sundance Screenwriters Lab. The British actress' credits include "Legends of the Fall," "Sabrina," "Smilla's Sense of Snow" and this year's Cannes opener "The Barber of Siberia." -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Parker Posey, Eugene Levy, Michael McKean and Catherine O'Hara have joined the cast of "Untitled Dogumentary Project," an ensemble film that Christopher Guest is directing for Castle Rock Entertainment. "Dogumentary" adopts the same improvisational, mock documentary style as Guest's "Waiting for Guffman." It tells the story of eccentric dog owners gearing for the canine showdown of their lives, the prestigious Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show.

Subject: Re: [MV] RE: (MV) being John Malkovitch I saw it this weekend, and I didn't think it was all that great myself. I enjoyed a lot of it, and there are some pretty interesting and funny moments. And, you have to give credit to John Malkovich's sense of humor to be willing to participate in this. I thought that maybe the dialogue's pacing was kind of draggy-slow, at least to me it was, and I thought the ending was predictable, although yeah ironically funny. I kept waiting for some discussion or attempt at revelation for the nature of man's soul, etc... thinking that there would be some existential kind of crisis of greater profundity (and there is a crisis of sorts, but it is direct and linear, as opposed to provoking serious philosophical questions), but the question is barely posed before it is ignored. I did find it very amusing what happens when Malkovich enters his own mind.. after all what would we see if we could see through our own eyes as an outside individual. Strangely surreal. One of the funniest moments was the bizarre and unexpected cameo by Charlie Sheen as himself. As a whole, I didn't think it deserved the kind of robust praise it has gotten, but it is an ok watch. I definitely think that John Malkovich should get a Best Supporting Actor nod, playing himself of course. He would deserve the Oscar for that.

Subject: Re: [MV] RE: (MV) being John Malkovitch Hey sorry. I bitch about spoilers as much as anyone ever has. But, neither of those tidbits is hardly a spoiler. As for the first part, the clips being shown when Malkovich has been on the talk show circuit explicitly are the scene immediately after so he tells you what just happened... plus I did not tell you the specifics of what happened. I have also seen the cameo mentioned quite a few times. I didn't consider that to really be spoiler material, but I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew those facts anyway and just feel like jumping on my case on the list.

Sources close to the actor said he does not wish to venture out of the United States for the shoot. "Gangs," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was scheduled for an April start in Rome. Instead, De Niro was finalizing a $15 million deal over the weekend to star in "The Score" for Mandalay Pictures. Slated for a March start in San Francisco, "The Score" is about a thief who is ready to retire but gets pulled back for one last score when he is blackmailed by a younger thief. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - The Paramount-based Robert Evans Co. and SNL Studios have teamed to take a swing at remaking the studio's 1953 comedy "The Caddy," which starred Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. The original tells the story of Harvey (Lewis), a shy but talented golfer hellbent on playing on the PGA tour. Latching on to Joe (Martin), a stylish gadabout, Harvey teaches him everything he knows about the game and plans to enter the tournament as Joe's caddy. However, as Joe's game improves, his ego grows. He begins to think Harvey is useless and wants to take the tour alone. The new version, geared to a youthful audience, will be written by Shawn Schepps ("Encino Man," "Son in Law") and Jonathan Prince ("18 Again!"). No cast or director is set. -=> * <=- NEW YORK (Billboard) - Jeff Daniels will star as a college writing professor in Michael Walker's indie psychological horror story "Chasing Sleep," a low-budget project that marks Walker's feature directorial debut. Financed mostly by Le Studio Canal Plus, "Chasing Sleep" began shooting Tuesday in Daniels' hometown of Chelsea, Mich. The story centers on Daniels' character, who wakes up one night to find that his wife hasn't returned home. Over the course of several sleepless nights, he confronts detectives, psychiatrists and a smitten student as he struggles to understand her disappearance.

Don't get me wrong, The World is Not Enough is chocked full of the usual trashy fun, preposterous escapes, exotic babes, and fetching scenery, but this time it adds to smashing good fun with a minimum of eye-rolling and - God forbid - even a wee bit of depth. It ain't all a bed of roses, of course. As usual in the language of Bond-age, every third line is a double-entendre which is tiresome beyond all description. If I wanted quips I'd get Bruce Vilanch and Whoopi Goldberg. What can you say about a movie that features the matter/anti-matter combination of Dame Judi Dench and Broad Denise Richards? Excuse me, nuclear physicist Denise Richards. Which letter in MIT stands for "beautician," anyway? "I wear shorts and a tank top," explains Denise, "it's more scientific looking." So is a rat on a treadmill, but I don't see Denise running in circles, at least not without a titanium sports bra and a stockpile of Dramamine. Is that a tattoo on your belly, Denise, or are some bionics sticking out? Because the world is not enough, Denise, the Sofia Coppola of Bond movies, comes ready-made with two worlds, Venus and Pluto, both orbiting between her neck and waist and possessing a gravitational pull like a Hooter tractor beam. Never has so much talent been entirely invisible to the naked eye, hidden mysteriously beneath Lara Croft science-wear. "What do I need to defuse a nuclear bomb?" asks James. "Me," replies Denise, anticipating perhaps that her turbo-breasts will be used to muffle the blast. That bomb, by the way, is controlled by Windows CE! How can an operating system control a nuclear bomb but not show me a full calendar month on my PDA? Can I detonate this piece of crap? James encounters physicist Denise in the middle of Kazakhstan - a desert-like region called Implantistan, where Arabs can't find teeth, but Denise can find good makeup and hair. Truthfully, science has a great deal to do with Denise's appeal. Who needs special effects when Denise brings her nuclear tipped silicone warheads. Specially equipped with a pair of Playtex high-yield tactical fission silos, Denise needs a firm footing or she'll topple forward, thanks to a center of gravity just north of the Arctic circle. And then there's testosterone magnet Sophie Marceau, who may indeed be French. Sophie spends virtually all of this movie wrapped in a robe or strategically placed bedding. Damn it, this flick couldn't be more PG if Sophie slept in Star Wars sheets and savored caviar from a Pok�mon lunch box! I would describe the plot of this movie, but to tell the truth I have no idea what the hell was going on, but I liked it. Something about competing pipelines, and I'm not talking about Denise and Sophie. One terrific moment: The introduction of comic genius John Cleese as Q's prot�g� in a scene where Q almost literally bows out. It's an exit more honorable than any actor playing Bond ever had, that's for sure. God Bless Pierce Brosnan, who has left behind Rene Russo and returned where he belongs - to babes half his age. Pierce is surprisingly good in this - so good I've almost forgotten Roger Moore's smarm and that weird cleft in Timothy Dalton's chin (Timothy who?). I couldn't help noticing something strange: James makes love with his watch on. Not to mention that furry bear skin Pierce calls a "chest." A lot of the credit for the strength of this flick goes to the great Judi Dench - who brings a big sloppy wet kiss of class to these proceedings - and a largely unrecognizable Robert Carlyle as the villain. Robert's got a bullet in his brain which is slowly killing him but not until it gives him superhuman strength...uh... Denise, can you explain the science behind this phenomenon? He holds a scalding rock and feels no pain - does this mean Anthony Robbins has a bullet in his head too? When Denise and James are sinking together in a submarine, Denise pulls her ripcord in the nick of time, safely surfacing the sub and providing twin life-rafts for dozens of survivors. Now there's a "Titanic" which really is unsinkable. Copyright 1999 Mark Ramsey. All rights reserved.

After receiving a cease-and-desist letter from CBS on Friday, Lions Gate responded by promising to withdraw all ads that featured the slogan "Get 'Touched' by an Angel." The CBS letter threatened legal action if the distributor continued to use the "Touched by an Angel" slogan in newspaper and radio ads. "Both CBS and the production offices for 'Touched by an Angel' have received numerous calls from people confused about the connection between our family oriented TV series and your irreverent movie that apparently belittles every religious tenet embraced by our show," read the letter from CBS assistant general counsel Beth Jones. The "Get 'Touched' by an Angel" slogan was coined by Smith to promote his controversial satire of Catholicism, which opened Friday with a strong $8.7 million on 1,269 screens. -=> * <=- SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - This is the story of the lion, the billionaire and the spy, the trio fronting the revival of a venerable studio whose roar has softened to a meow. Reclusive investor Kirk Kerkorian, on his third go-round as principal owner of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, this month pumped another big chunk of his fortune into the studio. On Friday, MGM will pair two of its prized possessions - James Bond and Leo the Lion - for the first time. Unlike the previous 18 Bond movies, released under the studio's United Artists brand, "The World Is Not Enough" opens as an MGM picture with Leo's famous rumble segueing into the classic Bond theme music. It's a sign of the new management's resolve to capitalize on MGM's best-known assets in hopes of rebuilding a studio that's been bleeding money for more than a decade and has been in a creative funk for nearly as long. "We're doing everything and anything we can in order to revitalize the company," said MGM Vice Chairman Chris McGurk, who left Universal Pictures six months ago to join Alex Yemenidjian, MGM's new chairman and chief executive officer. "We were left with a great asset and brand that's not been utilized properly." MGM had fallen so low from the glamour years, when its epic films and musicals defined Hollywood, that the studio had only two places to go - up, or out of business. Defying industry death knells of the last few years, when MGM struggled to recover from disastrous prior management and a string of box office duds, the studio is having its brightest year in ages. Though still facing a big loss for 1999, MGM reported its first full quarterly profit in 11 years last month. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Oscar winner Robert Duvall is set to star with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "The Sixth Day" for Sony-based Phoenix Pictures. Roger Spottiswoode is expected to start shooting the $80 million-budgeted action film in December in Vancouver. Michael Rapaport, Sarah Wynter and Michael Rooker also have been cast in the film. The script by Cormac and Marianne Wibberley centers on a man (Schwarzenegger) who returns home one day to discover that he has been replaced by a clone. Duvall will play a cloning scientist who is in business with the film's not-yet-cast lead villain. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - T�a Leoni has signed on to star as Nicolas Cage's love interest in the romantic comedy "Family Man" for Beacon Communications and Universal Pictures. The project is slated to start shooting Monday with Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour") at the helm. "Family Man" marks Leoni's first film project since taking some time off after the April birth of her baby, Madelaine, with husband David Duchovny. "Family" tells the story of a New York investment banker (Cage) who has forsaken love for his career. One day, he wakes up to find himself living the life he would have enjoyed had he married his college sweetheart (Leoni), complete with a home in the suburbs and a brood of kids.

Variety reports that Metalheads scribe Tedi Sarafian will pen Terminator 3 for a 2001 release, while Supernova screenwriter David Wilson will work on Terminator 4. It's not clear whether franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear in the films, but it's doubtful that writer/director James Cameron--who directed the first two movies in the series--will be involved. The pictures are being developed by Kassar and Vajna's company C-2 Pictures. Terminator 3 will be set in what will then be present-day 2001 and will feature a nuclear war. According to C-2 executive James Middleton, "The fourth movie is going to be set in the future, after the nuclear conflagration has ended. "The setting will be that apocalyptic world you saw in both of the first two films," Middleton said. "The third will lead you into the fourth, and [resistance leader] John Connor will be the lead in both of those movies, which follow and expand his character. There will be a protector Terminator, and an antagonist machine." Rumors about the Terminator franchise have been circulating during the two years since Vajna and Kassar spent $8 million to acquire the rights to the property. Terminator films have previously been reported to be in the works at Fox and Universal, both with and without Schwarzenegger and Cameron attached, but it appears those deals are dead. -=> * <=- During a Nov. 15 press conference for his new supernatural thriller End of Days, Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed his possible involvement with the recently announced Terminator 3 and 4 movies. The two films will be shot back to back by producers Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna, and the filmmakers have said they plan to approach Schwarzenegger about starring in the pictures. However, Schwarzenegger said he isn't interested unless Terminator writer/director James Cameron is involved. "I have no intentions of doing it except when Jim Cameron is doing the directing or the producing or the writing," he explained. "Jim Cameron has to be involved in one way or another." Since Cameron has indicated he's no longer interested in working on the Terminator franchise now that the films aren't set up over at Fox, it looks like Schwarzenegger won't be back.

One spectre can slice off a man's head with one bold thrust, the other can vibrate her boobies to tune a piano. Pick your poison! Sleepy Hollow is Tim Burton's latest nightmare before Christmas and it's one hell of a pre-holiday gift. Not since the zoo got the pandas have I been so excited! You know the story: The legendary Headless Horseman sweeps through an 18th Century New York village, terrifying and beheading the townspeople and taking their heads for his collection, which is later to be auctioned at Sotheby's for outrageous sums proving, once again, that cool heads truly do prevail. Johnny Depp returns in his third Burton film, but his first playing opposite a headless guy since Al Pacino blew his top in Donnie Brasco. Johnny looks like Edward Scissorhands after a Jenny Jones Show makeover. Christina Ricci sleepwalks her way through this flick as Katrina Van Tassel. If a Van Tassel marries a Van Loafer, what are the odds the kid will end up in sales? Can a Van Golf Foursome be far behind? Katrina's boyfriend, Casper Van Dien, plays Brom Van Brunt even though he looks more like Surfer Van Dude. There's nothing like hanging ten before a long day of farming, is there? Does your tractor have a longboard rack, Casper? It's a rad day for epic harvesting, isn't it? Much of the romance stuff between Johnny and Christina is a lead weight dragging behind an otherwise zip-zappy tale. The stilted dialogue is just a bit too close to the atmospheric but tedious 60's Hammer films that were Sleepy Hollow's inspiration. Even that great Hammer stalwart Christopher Lee shows up in a small role shaking his finger at Johnny as if to say: "Look who outlived Peter Cushing, young man!" If the sword-swinging style of the Headless Horseman looks familiar, it's for good reason. This man knows his way around a saber! It's Martial Arts maestro Ray Park, last seen in red and black warpaint as Darth Maul and now taking a breather from Star Wars conventions long enough to corner the market on roles for anonymous costumed Martial Arts experts. "Villainy wears many masks," says Johnny Depp. And behind them all - it's Ray! I'm not giving away anything to say that Chris Walken is the Horseman prior to his Headless mid-life crisis. Chris snarls and growls and bares his dagger-like teeth in a role with no dialogue - zero. If this doesn't get Chris uninvited from the Actor's Studio then nothing will. At this rate, Chris and Ray Park will be competing for roles. My favorite character actor in Sleepy Hollow is Burton regular and "Ferris Bueller" alum Jeffrey Jones who plays in powder wigs so much his head is soft as a baby's butt and he's increasingly sympathetic to King George. The creepy centerpiece of Sleepy Hollow is the "Tree of the Dead," a craggily blood-spewing structure, part Hollywood, part Vine. The Horseman bursts from this evil oak on his black steed and charges across the countryside, lobbing off more heads than the cost-cutters at Disney. I understand the "Tree of the Dead" better than most. You see, despite my best efforts, I never fail to cultivate the "Houseplants of the Dead." Naturally this movie is full of quintessential Burton nods to his own catalog and to classic horror - from wink-wink references to Scissorhands and Beetlejuice to more obscure salutes - the windmill from Frankenstein and the Iron Maiden from The Pit and the Pendulum. I love little touches like the fog literally reaching to snuff out the torches surrounding the town. It's why Tim is always must-see in my book. Sleepy Hollow is death and destruction on a stick. Anyone who hates this fairy scary tale is not using his head. Copyright 1999 Mark Ramsey. All rights reserved.
