Why does Clinton sometimes get stuck with such poor movies? Note to Hollywood: give this guy some good films.

Frequency seems like a helluva interesting movie. Of course, it's got Dennis Quaid (another great, underrated actor), so I'll be in line for that one.

And let's hope to God that Keitel keeps his pants ON in U-571!!

The trailer (which I've seen several times now) for Edward Norton's directorial debut KEEPING THE FAITH suggests that Norton has an unexpected soft spot for broad slapstick ... this should be interesting ...

I can't think of a single movie this year that I really REALLY can't wait for, except perhaps for DINOSAUR, and they already screwed that one up by including dialogue ... Okay, on reflection, THE HOLLOW MAN looks tremendous. (Paul! Verhoeven! PAUL! VERHOEVEN!) I just hope it's READY on time.

More Frankenheimer by Christmas would cheer me immensely, but one can't beg for the world in just a single breath. (Why not ask for Kurosawa to come back?)

I thought Goldsmith was no longer attached to The Kid?

I don't think PEARL HARBOR is going to be ready this year. I'd expect it for May or June 2001. I guess conceivably they could hustle it through for December 7, 2000, but have they even started shooting?

By the way, who is this Tom Dey?

Where did you get your info on the sequel to Bad Boys? I heard the project was scrapped. If this is true and they are making another Bad Boys movie with Mark Mancina again scoring this is the best news I have heard since JNH doing Dinosaur.
