AUSTIN, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 1997 -- The SXSW (South By Southwest) Film Festival announced today that it has
chosen STILL BREATHING for the closing night of its third annual event. The picture will screen on March
15th at the Paramount Theatre in Austin.
Brendan Fraser (Disney's upcoming GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE) and Joanna Going (Fox's INVENTING THE ABBOTS)
head the cast of the magical romance, which will have its world premiere at the SXSW Fest. Also starring
in the ZapPictures production are Ann Magnuson, Toby Huss, Angus MacFadyen, Lou Rawls, Paolo Seganti,
Michael McKean, and Academy AwardŽ winner Celeste Holm. The film is by first-time writer-director James
F. Robinson and is produced by Marshall Persinger.
"We are delighted to have STILL BREATHING close our festival," notes director Nancy Schafer. "Since the
film was made principally in Texas, it makes a wonderful closing piece."
"We love the idea of having our world premiere in Texas at SXSW, and are honored to occupy the same spot
that LONE STAR held last year," said Robinson. "The festival provides a rich forum for independant
filmmakers and showcases the terrific city of Austin."
STILL BREATHING is a lyrical, modern romance about a hopelessly romantic Texas street performer (Fraser)
who has a vision of his true love and sets out to find her... only she turns out to be a tough LA con
artist (Going) who believes he's her next "mark."
STILL BREATHING was recently acquired by Lakeshore International for foreign distribution. Domestic
rights are available at this time.

But now I'm getting confused, running between the Still Breathing topic, which isn't anymore, and What I Just Saw, which is! So the last movie I saw was Liar Liar and now you're all laughing at me and you think I really DO like Jerry Lewis. I thought Liar was pretty funny anyway so there! Hope to see Grosse Pointe Blank and...well now my mind's a blank...I'll tell you Monday if I actually made it to any movin pitcher shows. Actually I guess the last movie I saw was Road to Bali on AMC. Those road mov
es are such a tonic! Any recommendations among the current releases? I just heard they're re-releasing Das Boot with an extra HOUR of footage. I might go see that!

friday evening is saw AIR FORCE ONE, with many flights of fancy, even for a movie about one of the high-tech planes for the president. it was entertaining fare, for almost anyone. very well played, the villain seems to have had more lines than the lead good guy, the pres. all in all, it was eminently worth watching, strictly for the action, for the suspense and for the fine acting by all players. it is worth a trip to the movies.

On friday opening day i went to see SPAWN. The computer graphics were great and it was an all around good movie. The charicters were well played. The actor that played spawn played him very well. This movie is pretty much like a modern batman movie exept 4 times better. So if you like action movies you will like this one because it is non stop action. Personally i give this movie 2 thumbs up and i think it is definatley worth seeing more than once.

Depends on which first-runners one frequents (we have 'em in ours)...
Friday night, took my daughter and a friend to see "I know What You Did Last Summer"- appealed to all of my baser adolescent instincts (I loved it). And it was better than "Scream"- which I also loved (what can I say, I'm emotionally stunted)...Last night, my daughter and I watched "Anne of Green Gables" (the 1985, Megan Follows version) for the 117th time (fav. scenes- Anne's initial buggy ride with Matthew Cuthbert, through "the avenue", and past the "Lake of Shining Waters"; and the scene with she and
Marilla, after Anne had dyed her hair green). Tonight we'll watch "Anne of Avonlea" (for the 117th time, as well). Have to admit, the final scene- where Anne and Gilbert FINALLY get together- always sort of gets to me...

Starship Troopers!
Woo WOO! Great flick albeit EXTREMELY graphic. I loved the big huge, plasma hurling beetle bugs! And some truly freaky bug stampede shots. I am proud to say that I watched the entire movie without putting my hands in front of my face (as a shield). I did however, yell out once or twice.
Action, cheesy feel-good and GREAT effects! A movie to please both the chick flick lover and hardened adventure critic!
While at the theatre we discussed the WORST movie of 1997 (because there were no pinball machines) and came up with SCREAM, ANACONDA and VOLCANO. Any comments from the peanut gallery??

Taking my kids to see "Starship Troopers" tonight, probably (assuming, of course, it is showing in a pinball-accessible theater)...
Sigh. Have received most undeserved flak from friends due to the fact that I LIKED "Scream" (esp. value Drew Barrymore's potential as brunette)...It was supposed to be stupid-it was intended as camp, and certainly succeeded on that level, I thought...
Worst movie of "97 (if it was released this year- I think it was) would for me be "Little Rascals"...Having kids compels me to watch these films, and usually they're watchable, but it was as if the makers of this film didn't even try...

Yeah...I'm generally the same. I often like to watch non-demanding movies
(say, Action Films!!) and then spend my time hassling through books.
However, I often find that I can't actually read the "classics" of literature
- I'm struggling through Catch 22 at the moment, and I'm finding it a
terrible drag. I may rent the film and see what that's like - at least
then I'll have some basis for reading the book again.
One film that did NOT make the translation from book to movie, though,
was 2001. Neither did 2010 IMHO, but it was better than 2001!!

I saw about 1/2 hour of 2001 on TV and was too bewildered to watch anymore. It's hard to get interested when you have no clue what you're watching means. About Catch 22--it was such a scream!! I was working a college internship where they had nothing for me to do, so I would read every day. The day I brought that book I was constantly howling with laughter; at one point I had tears rolling down my cheeks. My boss thought I was a total flake.

Hehehe...some parts of it have been funny, although I'm not that far in.
I'm finding it very hard to get to grips with, though. It seems to
be thrashing around without a basis for a story at the moment, and
without any reason for what's going on...I need a book to have a
point, and a direction.
About 2001 - get the book, it really is wonderful. 2010 is a great
book too :)

that's kind of the point with Catch 22- and there is no reason for what's going on, which is kind of the point, too (hmmm...could've been a little clearer there)... I enjoyed it a lot, too... really disappointed with Heller's later stuff, though... re: "2001"- I thought it was great...thought the opening sequence was astonishing... to this day don't know what it all is supposed to mean (not sure Kubrick knows, either), but it was an extremely well-made, challenging piece of work... don't think you can rea
ly approach it as a (per se) film, though... sometimes, you've just gotta do what wm. hurt said, just "let art wash over you"...(of course, he was kidding when he said it)...

don't know that Hardy really enjoyed writing novels (because if he did, that sense did not translate)... actually seemed more polemics than literature (though the tragedy of "Tess..." is an enduring one, and there's much to recommend "Jude the Obscure", as well)... his poetry is quite fine, though, very accessible, and filled with genuine feeling...
and yeah, very often "classic books" require a great deal of effort... sometimes (Joyce's Ulysses, for ex.) it is energy well-spent... others (anything by Fenimore Cooper, to use a safe example) it is energy depleting...

I didn't bother going to see Bean - the first couple of TV shows were great, but
after that it was very boring.
Tell us about Flubber, Wolf?

my fav. bean scene is the swimming pool with the high dive!
Flubber: well, Robin Williams is great. Can't remember what the original story
line was (The Absent Minded Professor), but it was just a plain fun movie.
Showtime was just packed. The little flubber dudes were what helped the movie
and the fact that Robin is such a good actor. A lot of work had to go into the
interaction with the flubber and the actors. Not really a movie for little kids, but
third graders and up would get a kick out of it.

Who's in Cheap, Fast and Out of Control? Just
some extraordinary folks, not actors.
It's a movie about ideas. The four principles are
totally absorbed in their passons to the extent that
nothing else matters. Animals are plants, wild is
tame, etc. there are so many parallels and contradictions.
It gets to the very heart of what it means for something
to be what it is.

watching "mighty aphrodite" tonight... my appetite for woody is whetted, now, and i'll probably deplete my library this weekend...
"everyone says i love you" was far better than i expected (and far better than many critics led me to believe)... the music was interesting, though the seams did occasionally show, but i respect woody for attempting it... highlights for me ranged from the grotesque and fascinating (the dance of the spirits, in the funeral home, which i also found uproarious) to the stylishly funny (the dancing grouchos, performing "hooray for captain spaulding, en francais, was inspired) to the sweetly beautiful (every re
dition of gus kahn's "i'm through with love"). also had moments of profundity- woody has finally ascertained the root of one of the ages most perplexing mysteries (political conservatism has it's origins in blocked arteries, you know... always assumed it was spastic colon, maybe, or gas, but that never occurred to me)...

Hello!
I rented STRICTLY BALLROOM last Sunday and I absolutely fell in love with it. I've watched it everyaday ever since. I have the video now and the soundtrack and all I do is watch the tape and listen to the soundtrack 24/7. Has anyone seen it? It's become one of my favorite movies of all time: It's right up there with Much Ado about Nothing and A Streetcar Named Desire. I've been trying to find Strictly Ballroom webpages or a Paul Mercurio (he's the actor/dancer in SB) webpage but I've found zip. All i've f

In addition to dance movies, I also like 80's brat pack movies like SIXTEEN CANDLES, THE BREAKFAST CLUB, PRETTY IN PINK, and more. They all have great soundtracks as well. I also just saw SAY ANYTHING, but I didn't like it as much as the previously mentioned films.

Tango has always been in my blood since I was born in Buenos Aires. I used to watch it on tv all the time but when I came to the US it was completely gone out of my life. I guess now that I've been seeing all these ballroom dance movies recently, it's re-kindled my passion for tango and dance in general. Unfortunately, I have two left feet so I can't dance but I enjoy immensely watching it. One of my favorite annual events is watching the Ballroom Championships on PBS.
All this tango talk has really made me nostalgic for Argentina. I guess that's the reason I'm so enraptured with Strictly Ballroom and Shall We Dance? is because of Argentina. I'm getting too analytic here. I guess it's that psychology course I've been taking.

Saw a nice little movie last night, "Unstrung Heroes," with Andie MacDowell, John Turturro and Seinfeld's "Kramer." It's about a young boy coming to terms with his family relationships during his mother's terminal illness, especially with his dad and his two dotty, certifiable (literally!) uncles. It is heartwarming, touching, funny and sad. It is a rare film that can make me laugh and cry! It is a very special movie.

Watched Satyricon (Fellini film) and Donnie Brasco over the weekend. Two good and very different (from each other) movies. It had been awhile since I'd seen a Fellini film, but all the old memories came flooding back!
And Al Pacino is just excellent.
A week or two ago I took myself to Titanic. Rarely do I see first run flicks by myself but this was really calling me. And I throughly enjoyed and recommend it! BTW, Titanic surpassed ET in gross profits already and is catching (albeit not too closely) up to Star Wars!

I went to see Good Will Hunting, great flick. With Robin Williams, who I
always enjoy seeing in his roles.
After this "feel good" movie, I was waiting for my date outside the
ladies room when my cellular, Pocketnet email started going beep beep beep.
It was an email from a Seattle lawyer offering $20,000 for the name
spring.com.
A bit of a surprise!
Anyway, since then I've registered the name spring.net and we may be all
going to http://www.spring.net soon.

It costs $100 to get a domain, what I'm paying for spring.net from the
Internic.
I may ask for $50,000 and hope for $30k at least. We'll see, I'm looking
for a new attorney right now as Mike Godwin just backed out. Too bad, I
had high hopes for Mike.
Monday morning, I have my work cut out for me in negotiations and finding
a lawyer.
I hope spring.net is fine with y'all. The Spring needs the money to
build the place up, as nice as the spring.com name is and all.

saw "it's a family thing" last night on video at the pseudo-rents house. With Richard Dryfuss and James Earl Jones. Billed as a comedy but less than hysterical. Pretty good movie, just don't expect too many belly laughs, it's really not intended to be funny.

Saw Leaving Las Vegas for the first time a couple of nights ago when
I couldn't sleep, enjoyed it and didn't find it anywhere near as
depressing as Barflys...Almost got to see all of Independence Day
for the first time as well, but had to go work on the inlaws' computer.
Oh, well...

I just watched the first half-hour of "House of Spirits" (based on the Isabel Allende novel), with Jeremy Irons and Meryl Streep. So far so good!

no movies lately but since this is where I give the pinball update...
3/17 spent with two pitchers of green beer and the EarthShaker!
(now, now ladies, it's just a machine)
(NO, not THAT kind of machine... a pinball game!)
Sometime in the night, the waitress came by and told us to go up front to get free stuff -- shamrock ears, green necklaces, flashy/blinky pins and free beer. We were to into the game to leave so she brought it all back to us!
Stellar performance by yours truly earning 7 free games that evening! And one match!

Saw "Always" (directed by Steven Spielberg) the other day (Richard Dreyfus(s?), Holly Hunter). Boy did it cheer me up. Was having a bit of a low spirited day, for some reason, and I needed a slightly cheesy "feel-good" movie with lots of humour, and by george that turned up :-)

As part of the birthday extravaganza, we saw a first run movie last night (in a stadium seating theatre no less!)
City of Angels. All those who don't want to cry, or struggle with fairness... STAY AWAY!
A good movie IMHO!

Watched "Il Postino" the other night--checked it out of the library, actually--and found it very charming. The scenery was breathtaking. I much prefer dubbing to subtitles, they're so distracting....

that's me, too. depends on the film. farewell my concubine had a lot of subtitles and it wouldn't have been the same had it been dubbed. dubbing has a tendancy to not match the mouth movements (obviously) and that bothers me something fierce......

It doesn't bother me as much as hearing two people jabbering away in Italian for 2 minutes and seeing 2 sentences by way of explanation! I just hate dropping my eyes to the bottom of the screen and looking away from the action; it's exasperating!

OK, I got another sub-titled one this week: "Ridicule", all about the clever wit used by the courtisans at Versailles to get ahead and find favor with the king. I really liked it. Also saw "LA Confidential" (good, but a bit violent for my tastes) and "The Full Monty". My husband's out of town, in case you haven't already guessed...(he would've hated 2 of the 3)

I really liked "Born on the 4th of July", it was just about the only Vietnam-era flick I could sit through, actually. The "apple-pie" sentiment sort of reflects the innocence of the era's expectation of war, I thought...so ideological and patriotic at the same time (like WW2). And it goes without saying that Tom Cruise could make any picture watchable...

I like Deep Impact because no one spoiled it, not Siskel and Ebert, not
Aint It Cool News, not Gene Shalit, it was a total surprise. There were
still a lot of surprises. And some good performances by Morgan Freeman
and Robert Duval.
Tense, gripping movie.

Saw "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" last night. Very interesting!! A restored French film from the fifties, it features the classical story of two young lovers whose timing is off--and here's the interesting part--every word of dialogue is sung. But it's not a musical! They all just sing their lines like I used to sing the psalter in church, using the same 5 notes. A very young Catherine Deneuve is spectacular.

I saw 'Shadowlands' about a week ago - yeah, I know, I'll probably see Titanic
the day my first grandchild is born!
Anyway, Mr. C. had to do a certain amount of backside-licking to get me that far (I find the 'getting into' a movie almost unbearable - all that sitting still, I suppose), and I only gave in when the name Anthony Hopkins came up, but I loved it. Especially the bit before it turns sad. The dialogue was wonderful, witty and intelligent (a rare gem in movies, I find. . .), Anthony Hopkins, that hunk-a-man, is as stunning as ever, and his co-star (sorry, I've forgotten her name already) made a strong impre
sion on me as well; she was the first actress I have seen acting opposite him without being completely eclipsed by his on-screen charisma. I found her a great deal better than both Jodie Foster and Emma Thompson - even more intelligent somehow. But
