(05/19/01 4:00am)

It wasn't the best of times, and it wasn't the worst of times. In the final analysis, the 2000-2001 television season was just kind of there.

Endless cast of characters create life-long script

(05/19/01 4:00am)

MY LOVE of movies is well docu-mented, but what most people don't realize about me is that my real delusion finds me as the star of a television show.

Zemeckis' 'Cast Away': an island adventure that misses the boat

(01/23/01 5:00am)

Chuck Noland is an all-American average Joe of the movie moment. His age we can't quite pinpoint: too old to still be enjoying his salad days, and yet too young to be past the prime of his life.

Sharp direction drives Soderbergh's 'Traffic'

(01/19/01 5:00am)

"Traffic" does not waste any time getting to the gritty heart of the matter. Steven Soderbergh's drug drama is an epic dissection of the world of narcotics, one where the line between good and bad is almost completely obscured and one where the person next to you could be a user or a fighter - or maybe both. Adapted and updated by Stephen Gaghan and Simon Moore from the decade-old British mini-series, "Traffic" presents a compelling tapestry of carefully interwoven stories.

Last spring, I wrote a nasty letter to the Academy, blast- ing them for failing to recognize just how fertile film had been during 1999.

FOX's '$treet' hits creative dead end

(11/20/00 5:00am)

Producer-writer Darren Star's sixth series, "The $treet," is his first to cover the long days and even longer nights of the Wall Street elite, but when it comes right down to it, his song remains the same. "The $treet," FOX's three-episode-old serial, is best described as a light soap.
