The Christie DigiPro series of DLP Cinema projectors.
The Christie DigiPro series is poised to become the
digital powerhouse in the rapidly evolving digital
cinema arena. Christie was the first OEM to be
selected by Texas Instruments to utilize Tl's DLP
Cinema chip.
The digital projectors display a crisp, clear and
clean picture from the first day of release to
beyond the one-thousandth showing. The Christie
DigiPro projectors fill the entire screen with
bright, high quality images, providing natural,
film-like 24 frames-per-second motion without
jump, weave, flicker or ghosting.
Christie's proven manufacturing capabilities, combined
with their sophisticated technology platforms,
enable exhibitors to bring the power and clarity
of digital technology to the screen.
We make cinema come alive!

FADE IN...
In this issue, you will find the end result of
several months of effort on our annual Buyers
Directory—this 2002 version being our 63rd.
It's a not only long but also arduous process, for
which editors Christine James, Francesca
Dinglasan and Annlee Ellingson all did great
work, as did our publishing assistants, Linda
Andrade and Marianne Moro.
Thanks go to another group, too: the 1 ,400
companies represented in this Buyers Directory.
We value their presence whether small or
large, new or venerable. Though, being neutral
journalists, we have no favorite firms, I do have
a favorite response this year, which came from
Grand Prairie, Texas-based TechniBrite president
John Atchley. The form completed by the
screen cleaning company was pretty much just
like all the others—except for a large midpage
hieroglyph that resisted deciphering until I saw
a note appended at bottom: "Sorry, my son (2
1/2 years) drew on this.... John." Not only did
that lend a smile during a long evening's work,
but it reminded me that these listings are of
companies, but just as surely of people.
This issue's other feature contents include
our annual look at drive-in exhibition, with coverage
provided by frequent contributor Jon Alon
Walz and the UDITOAs Debrean and Randy
Loy—with an extra nod to the Joplin Globe
Publishing Co., which provided the main image
on the cover of Carthage, Mo.'s 66 Drive-ln.
But we also have introduced something new
on our Departments side, in that senior editor
Francesca Dinglasan—who oversees our exhibition
and international coverage—is in the
process of, once again, expanding our monthly
reporting on the latest news and views in the
theatre industry. Her "Exhibition Briefings" column
begins on page 130, and I that
constant readers will much appreciate—along
with the section's national and regional news,
Showmandiser promotion writeup, Showminder
convention calendar, and Ticker Time exhibition
stock coverage—the fact that BOXOFFICE is
now home each issue to local movie theatre
coverage. The decision to increase Exhibition
Briefings was made in the latter part of this
issue's production cycle, so the page devoted
to local developments is really just a taste of
things to come. But its inclusion reinforces to us
here at the magazine, and we hope to all our
readers in the industry, that BOXOFFICE is
exactly one thing: the magazine of the global
and national, regional and local—motion picture
theatre business. Kim Williamson

INFLATION DISPUTATION
Dear BOXOFFICE:
On behalf of the D.J.K.. Group of
Companies we would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for your comprehensive
article that was published in
the July issue in reference to our multiplex
K. Cineplex. We were most pleased with
the article and greatly appreciate the time
and effort dedicated. We are pleased to
inform you that our second K. Cineplex is
in the final stages of its building and we
have confirmed our opening date as
August 24th, 2001.
However, we regret to inform you that
some information in the article was inaccurate
and consequently raised some concern
among our colleagues and associates with
the outcome being most distressing. It
appears that the number of admissions for
Larnaca [was erroneously reported as] one
million admissions, whereas the actual
number of admissions in 2000 was approximately
1 70,000. This may be further highlighted
by the fact that for the population
of Larnaca, encompassing 70,000 [people],
the frequency per capita for our city [would
have to be] a total of 14 to be able to produce
one million admissions.
As exhibitors, we hold an obligation to
the distributors to provide them with
accurate statistics. As you may be able to
understand, this misinformation has
raised some concerns and confusion
among our colleagues. We are aware of
the fact that this was clearly an honest
mistake, although the fact remains that it
needs to be rectified.
Best regards,
Froso Adamides
Marketing Manager
K. Cineplex

/BOXOFFICE regrets the error; the one
million admissions figure should hare been
in reference to the total ticket sales for all
of Cyprus in 2000.— Ed. /
INVERSION AVERSION
Dear BOXOFFICE:
Please note that in [your] excellent
review of [Miramax's] "The Others," [you]
miswrote one of the producer's names. It
is Sunmin Park (your magazine wrote
Park Sunmin).
Thanks so much.

TRAILERS
"Bones" Rattle and "Ghosts" Haunt
This Halloween
There's plenty to celebrate this Hallow's Eve, as New Line
makes no "Bones" about releasing the horror pic starring
Snoop Dogg and Warner Bros.' "13 Ghosts," starring Tony
Shaloub and Shannon Elizabeth, haunts theatres on the
frightful fourth weekend in October.
The rest of the month isn't quite so scary: On the fifth,
Disney makes a "Big Move," Fox doesn't "Say a Word,"
Miramax relies on "Serendipity" while resting "In the
Bedroom," Universal visits the planet "K-PAX," and Warner
Bros.' tallies "Collateral Damage." A week later, Buena Vista
introduces "The Count of Monte Cristo," DreamWorks
storms "The Last Castle," and MGM pursues "Bandits." On
the 19th, Buena Vista pops a "Corky," Columbia goes "Riding
in Cars With Boys," Fox escapes "From Hell," and Warner
Bros, wears a "Necklace," visits a "City by the Sea" and plays
basketball with "Juwanna Mann."
Also in this issue, BOXOFFICE visits with John Penotti and
Fisher Stevens of GreeneStreet Films about their latest
release, "In the Bedroom," and catches up with Sara Gilbert,
who joins Drew Barrymore in "Riding in Cars With Boys."

Production Notes: John Penotti and Fisher Stevens, "In the Bedroom"
Just call John Penotti and Fisher Stevens the Sundance Kids. The "We'd make
producing pair, co-founders of New York-based CreeneStreet comments,
r:i r_i_ i.l_ j__i »„ r: -„*— t—1^1 n:~\A>~ A:— ^+— :^l
Films, made the deal to finance actor Todd Field's directorial
debut "In The Bedroom" at Sundance 2000, shot it the following
spring, and premiered it at the same festival this year.
That's a pretty quick turnaround, made possible in part
because the original script, based on a story by Andre Dubus,
required little revision. "It came in basically ready to shoot,"
says Penotti, a 37-year-old New Jersey native who gave up
medical school to pursue a career in film production. "It was
just a matter of agreeing on what actors we should go after."
Sissy Spacek ("The Straight Story"), their top choice, was the
first to sign on, immediately accepting the role of Ruth, a middle-aged
music teacher trying to endure life after the murder
of her only son. When the script finally found Tom Wilkinson
("The Patriot") in London, he quickly agreed to play Matt,
Ruth's husband, who covers up his anger and frustration with
the numbing ritual of daily routine.
Marisa Tomei was a last-minute addition to the cast. Field was
having a hard time finding the right match for Natalie, the separated,
working-class mother of two whose jealous husband kills
her young lover. But when Stevens, also 37, and an actor-turneddirector
and producer, showed him the work Tomei was doing
on his debut feature "Just A Kiss," Field decided to put her in.
With cast intact, shooting began in mid-May in Maine, and
the remote location made it tough. "We had to bring every
piece of equipment up from New York," Penotti says. "And we
brought crew in from all over the country. It was grueling."
"Budget constraints also made it difficult," Stevens adds. "But
the location was really beautiful, which made for a pretty
happy set." And Penotti is quick to point out the best part of it
all: "We ate really well," he says. "Lots of lobster." Filming
continued until trie beginning of July, then cast and crew
skedaddled to make way for the tourist onslaught on the 4th.
Editing began right away in Los Angeles, with Field sending
various cuts to New York so Stevens and Penotti could put in
their two cents. Neither of them found much to carp about.
Grateful Dawg
Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia stars
in this documentary about his relationship
with bluegrass mandolin player David
Grisman. Among the footage are live performances
by the duo, backstage jam sessions
and interviews with friends and family.
Grisman's daughter Gillian directs and
produces. (Sony Classics, 10/5 NY/LA)
Exploitips: Try such Carcia/Crisman
recordings as "Not for Kids Only," "The

Burnt Money
Based on a 1965 crime spree that terrorized
Argentina and Uruguay, "Burnt Money"
part action, part romance as two men first
is
become lovers, then bank robbers. Eduardo
Noriega ("Open Your Eyes") and Leonardo
Sbaraglia star. Marcel Pineyro directs;

In this documentary, photographer Bruce
Weber goes on a four-year road trip from
fashion runways of Paris to the isolated
deserts of Arabia with Peter Johnson, recording
his subject's transition from boyhood to
manhood along the way. Weber ("Let's Get

Exploitips:
Fisher says,
"But this is
Todd's movie,
and
loved and
was very encouraged
by
what I saw."
That encouragement couldn't stop the clock, and completing
"In The Bedroom" by the Sundance 2001 November entry
deadline became the top priority. "We rushed to get it ready,"
Stevens recalls. "It was really tight, and we barely finished."
All that scrambling paid off, though. Wilkinson and Spacek
both took home acting awards in Park City, and a number of
suitors vied for distribution honors.
Miramax eventually came out on top, snagging domestic
and U.K. rights, and their big name, solid experience and deep
pockets only helped the movie when it came to ever-important
international distribution deals. "Current wisdom says that the
value of an indie film is determined by who the American distributor
is," says Penotti. "Miramax is a fantastic indicator to
the international distributor that the movie will get treated correctly
domestically, and that's a real boost to them signing on."
With distribution sewn up, Penotti and Stevens can rest
easy, at least with "In The Bedroom." CreeneStreet worked on
five other films last year, including Fisher's "Just A Kiss." It's a
full plate, but they're not complaining. "When we started we
wanted to find great people who could tell stories in interesting
ways," says Penotti. "I think 'In The Bedroom' and these
other projects are indicative of that." Jordan Reed

The Count of Monte Cristo
Jim Caviezel ("Angel Eyes") stars in this
period drama based on the novel by
Alexandre Dumas about a man who is falsely
accused of treason and imprisoned on an
island fortress. Driven by thoughts of revenge,
he devises a dramatic escape, hunts for hidden
treasure on the island of Monte Cristo
and positions himself among the French
nobility as the mysterious and wealthy Count
of Monte Cristo, wreaking vengeance on his
enemies. Guy Pearce ("Memento") co-stars.
Kevin Reynolds ("Waterworld") directs a

The Last Castle
Robert Redford ("The Horse Whisperer")
stars in this military action drama as a threestar
general who has been court-martialed
and sentenced to a maximum-security military
prison nicknamed "The Castle." He
butts heads with the corrupt warden, played
in
by lames Gandolfini ("The Mexican"), and
organizes his fellow inmates into an army to
confront the warden on his methods. Rod
Lurie ("The Contender") directs; first-timer
David Scarpa and Graham Yost ("Speed")
script; Robert Lawrence ("Rock Star") produces.
(DreamWorks, 10/12)
Exploitips: Ex-film critic Lurie popped up
on the filmmaking radar last year when "The
Contender" garnered critical acclaim and
several acting nominations for stars Joan
Allen, Jeff Bridges and Gary Oldman. The
pic was acquired by DreamWorks for distribution,
and the studio soon after put Lurie to
work on "The Last Castle, " known in development
as "The Castle." The son of a political
cartoonist, Lurie also possesses intimate
knowledge on this subject, having graduated
from the United States Military Academy at
West Point and served as a Combat Arms
Officer in the Army for four years.
Bandits
Bruce Willis ("Unbreakable") and Billy
Bob Thornton ("Wakin' Up in Reno") star in
this crime comedy as charismatic bank robbers
who are raising money for their legitimate
business prospects south of the border.
Despite the chaos and destruction they leave
behind, the public adores them, especially a
woman who sees their exciting lifestyle as a
way to escape her own dull existence. Cate

"Mulholland Drive" was rejected by ABC and
reconceived as a feature film. The pic premiered
at Cannes, where it tied for Best
Director with "The Man Who Wasn't There's"
Joel Coen. BOXOFFICE gives the film 4.5 stars
in this issue, saying, "While 'Mulholland
Drive' will frustrate anyone who tries to
deconstruct its plot, it nevertheless stands as
one of the director's best works in years."
Raw Deal: A Question of Consent
This graphic, controversial documentary
follows the alleged rape of 27-year-old
stripper Lisa Cier King at a Florida fraternity
house. During the party where she was
entertaining, one of the residents videotaped
the incident. When a judge viewed
the tape, he dismissed King's case and had
her arrested for filing a false report.
Eventually the tape was released to the
media, sparking a national dialogue on the
incident. The film includes the footage and
interviews with those involved. Billy
Corben directs and produces; Alfred
Spellman also produces. (Artisan, 10/12 ltd)
Exploitips: Schedule time for a postscreening
panel discussion on this polarizing
issue, inviting local representatives of
the Creek system, women's groups and
media to participate or the filmmakers and
subjects themselves. Held from August.
Storytelling
Todd Solondz directs and scripts this twopart
black comedy that skewers the American
family much like his "Welcome to the
Dollhouse" and "Happiness" did. In the first
part, Selma Blair ("Legally Blonde") stars as a
co-ed who seduces her professor in a bid to
gain his favor. In the second half, a documentary
filmmaker is shooting a film on today's disaffected
teens, focusing on one family in
particular.
Christine Vachon ("Hedwig and the
Angry Inch") and Ted Hope ("Ride With the
Devil") produce. (Fine Line, 10/12 NY/LA)
Exploitips: In a three-star review from
Cannes in this issue, BOXOFFICE says, "Rife
with his characteristic black humor,
'Storytelling' is just as disturbing as his previous
outings, but it's a less cohesive and
finally less satisfying piece."

Actor's Studio: Sara Gilbert, "Riding in Cars With Boys'
Sara Gilbert grew up watching her sister Melissa as Laura
Ingalls-Wilder and brother Jonathan as Willie Oleson on the
long-running television series " Little House on the Prairie." "I
always felt kind of envious," Gilbert admits. "So I told my mom
that I wanted to do it, too. Somehow at an early age, I managed
to pick something that I still feel really passionate about."
Gilbert made her first television appearance in a commercial
at the wizened age of six and went on to earn the role of
Jean on the TV movie "Calamity Jane." Just a few years later,
she was cast as caustic cutie Darlene on "Roseanne," which
gave her the chance to cut her acting teeth—and grow up— in
front of millions of viewers every week for nine years. During
her tenure, she earned two Emmy nominations for outstanding
supporting actress in a comedy series. She also won two consecutive
Young Artists Awards.
With such a whirlwind foray into acting at such an early age,
Gilbert may have been in danger of joining the film and TV
annals of child-star failure. But she didn't. During the last four
seasons of "Roseanne," Gilbert managed to continue her TV turn
as Darlene and study art and photography at Yale University at
the same time. "It broadens you as a person," she says.
There is little doubt that Gilbert is sufficiently broad; she
directed the short film "Persona Non Grata," which was
selected for competition at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival,
and last year she starred in the Williamstown Theater Festival's
production of "Hot L Baltimore." She also had a starring role
as Amy Manning in the short-lived but critically well received
CBS series "Welcome to New York."
Her latest project is Columbia TriStar's upcoming film
"Riding in Cars With Boys," which is based on Beverly
Donofrio's eponymous memoir. "I play Tina, and she's a geeky
misfit," Gilbert says. "She's friends with Beverly.. .but she
always feels like the tagalong. In the end, she gets the guy, goes
off to school and in a way has the life that the other girls want."
Gilbert was particularly intrigued by the script because of its
emotional depth. "I always feel more fulfilled when I see a
movie that says
something about the
human condition,
something a little
deeper than good
versus evil," she
says. She was also
excited to be reunited
with her "Poison
Ivy" co-star Drew
->
Barrymore. "It was so
nice to work with her
"BOY" CRAZY: Sara Gilbert
again. The best part
stars in "Riding in Cars With Boys.
of our friendship still
remains after so many years. We've grown and we have a lot
more to bring to the table."
Gilbert also liked working with director Penny Marshall.
"Penny's so different," she says. "She does huge scenes where she
runs a bunch of cameras at once, and it seems like madness when
you're in it. You know that she's holding so much in her head."
Gilbert is a big fan of Marshall's directorial method. "She really
gets in there and does the lines with you. I feel very connected to
her in a working relationship. It's so much fun to work with her."
As for the future, Gilbert is keeping her career options wide
open. "I don't feel like I want to exclusively act, but it's definitely
my first passion, and it's something that I'll always come
back to. My goal is express myself creatively as much as possible,
whatever that means. There are things that I want to say
in my work, and I hope to see myself doing that as fully as possible."

Roxane Mesquida star. Jean-Francois Lepetit

Exploitips: Breillat's "Romance" created a

re-creations, Hammer is able to reveal lesbians
that may not have been otherwise spotted.

Exploitips: Invite Hammer to participate in
post-screening Q&A on opening weekend.
Perhaps she will reveal her research methods
and some of her more obscure sources.

Richard Linklater ("Dazed and Confused")
directs and scripts this surreal animated pic

philosophical discussions. Wiley Wiggins

of 60 characters. Linklater vet Anne
Walker-McBay, Tommy Pallotta and "Requiem

Smith produce. (Fox Searchlight, 1 0/1 L ) ltd)
Exploitips: "Waking Life" is part of an initiative
spearheaded by InDigEnt, an imprint of
IFC, to encourage the exploration of digital
cinema. The film first was shot and edited as
live-action digital video, and then illustrated
frame-by-frame using a technique called interpolated
rotoscoping. BOXOFFICE gave "Waking
Life" 3.5 stars in the Sundance coverage in
the April 2001 issue, saying the animation
technique results in "fluid, impressionistic
drawings that feel unexpectedly real."
MVP II: Most Vertical Primate
The makers of "Air Bud" and "MVP:
Most Valuable Primate" continue the latter
franchise with this family comedy about
Jack, the hockey-playing chimp who's
drafted into a professional league and takes
up skateboarding. Robert Vince ("MVP:

BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Actress Vivica A. Fox Learns a Thing or Two
in "Two Can Play That Game"
Known
in development as "How
to Make Your Man Behave in 10
Days or Less," "Two Can Play
That Game" is a tutorial on the games
girls play to get their guys in line. A successful
marketing executive, Shante
(Vivica A. Fox) is an expert on matters
of the heart, regularly doling out advice
to her romantically challenged girlfriends.
So when she catches her man
Keith (Morris Chestnut) out on the
town with an "associate," she puts her
10-day program into effect. What she
doesn't expect is for him to retaliate with
some games of his own.
The gimmick here is that Fox addresses
the audience by speaking directly to the
camera, outlining step-by-step how to get
that stray dog to come back—from not
returning phone calls to treating yourself
to a day of pampering to getting a temporary
new man. The film's "like 'Ferris
Bueller' meets The Rules,'" she says.
Fox admits employing a similar strategy
in her own life. "Please, are you kidding?"
she says. "I've got a book of games
I used to play. The not calling first and
being unavailable always makes you a little
definitely, definitely worked for me. But,
thank God. now I'm married and I don't
have to. All is fair in love and war, right?
Sometimes you have to play a couple of
games to get people's attention."
by Annlee Ellingson
Having
co-starred in "Independence
Day" and "Soul Food," Fox was
particularly attracted to "Two Can
Play That Game" because it was a leading
role in a film carried by a woman, and because
she was able to contribute substantially
throughout the development
of the project. "I
really had a big input in this
film," she says. "I almost
had a producer hat, to be
honest with you. I sat down
with them for a month with
rewriting the script. I had
final cast approval. I
really,
really scored with this film
besides starring in it. I got a
lot of fringe benefits. I had
a lot of creative input."
Among the changes Fox
implemented was to bring
a bit more sophistication
to her character, Shante.
"[Writer/director] Mark
[Brown] wanted to show two different
sides of her, that she was professional but
that she still had a little bit of 'hood in
her. I said, 'Well, that's cool, but we can't
make here too ghetto, trying
to keep it real,' so we
just raised the elevation of
class as far as her dialogue.
Some things I would never
say; some things I wasn't
going to say. Sometimes
[with] guys, their image of
women is a little bit different
from what mine is. Like
I remember there was this
scene where he had her sitting
on the toilet, and I was
like, 'Uh, no. That's gone.'"
Fox hopes that her
romantic comedy will benexecutive
Shante efit from successes of
other recent femme-driven
bit more intriguing. Those two things projects. "Women, girls are just kicking
ass in the box office nowadays with
'Legally Blonde,' 'Sex and the City.'
'Charlie's Angels,' "Tomb Raider,"' she
says. "Chicks can carry films. Thank you.
Finally! There's just so much girl power
out there that is existing and doing well,
that suddenly now studios are taking
note of that. Believe me, they're not going
to let a dollar pass that they can make."
Fox's grrl power activism extends race
relations as well. "I also wanted to show
the power of black love," she says. "That
we love each other, we go through
changes with one another without beating
each other up or taking advantage of
1
each other, that it's just like how it is
with other nationalities.
"I just think that people have seen
[African-Americans] for so long in ;
tain box, that we haven't done anything
to challenge or to break through those
stereotypes," she continues. "So what
I'm hoping to do with 'Two Can Play
That Game' is to break stereotypes and
let them see that people love to go see us
be more positive and not being in the
'hood and beating each other up. Those
kind of films, I believe, were done in the
'80s, and that's where they should stay
We should all go forward."

Vivica A. Fox, Morris Chestnut and
Anthony Anderson. Directed and written

The History Behind America
and the Drive-Ins of Route
lture
Walz
Putting
aside all the hoopla, ink,
sappy songs and weepy-eyed memories,
the 75-year-old, 2,400-mile
stretch of road—blandly dubbed Route
66 by. without a doubt, some lowly
transportation clerk in Calvin Coolidge's
equally bland administration in the early
winter of 1926—is simply a force of
nature and culture and asphalt that has
never escaped the collective psyche of
the great nation of America.
Route 66, the aggrandized "mother of
all roads," was dedicated on November
26. 1926. at the height of the roadbuilding
boom in America. Winding
from Chicago to Los Angeles, it endures

as one of the great coordinated American
efforts not affiliated with a wartime
endeavor.
But despite his leadership in such
areas as building national infrastructure,
Calvin Coolidge's economic policies
and myopic drive to reduce the
massive debts incurred during World
War I came cloaked in an iron-fisted,
non-negotiable policy to eliminate all
government-sponsored social programs,
including help for farmers and
bonuses for servicemen active during
the war effort. Through this unique
brand of tough-love leadership.
Coolidge accidentally pushed America
down a slippery slope that became, in
poor Herbert Hoover's administration,
the Great Depression of 1932.
During the years of the Depression,
life in the cities became so expensive
and. for many, so desperate, those who
had fallen on the worst of times were
forced to take residence outside of the
metropolises. Nevertheless, automobiles
were rolling off modern, high-tech
assembly lines in record numbers,
thanks to a sudden post-war glut of
steel, glass and rubber. A car culture was
born, allowing citizens to bridge the new
physical and psychological gap between
the suburbs and the cities.

automobiles in the United States.
By 1927 the figure was closer to 20 million.
A government-supervised, but
state-funded, road-building campaign
initiated at the end of WW1 under
Coolidge. designed to help facilitate
state-to-state and cross-country travel,
began with about 7.000 miles of what
were considered "highway" roads.
according to author Geoffrey Perrett in
his book "America in the Twenties." The
total mileage, however, exploded to well
over 50.000 by 1927. with additions of
10.000 miles per year thereafter.
Although the businesses of automobiles,
transportation and oil refineries
were driving the economy by creating
jobs and making the Fords and
Rockefellers wealthy beyond measure,
omens of a downturn in the economy
were evident in other elements of the
social and industrial fabric, like entertainment.
The construction of lavish motion
picture palaces in the central cities subsided
in about 1928 before completely
ending in 1933. Movie attendance was
down from its mid- 1920s peak of one
weekly admission per American citizen
to about two-thirds of that level. The
financial markets crashed and many
families gambled on a move to the growing
west. Some of those who rolled
the
dice and hit the road wound up in the
dust bowl of Oklahoma and Kansas,
others in the deserts of New Mexico and
Arizona, while still others found their
way to the golden coast of California.

Route 66 was the grand path of exodus
for anxious Americans looking for
opportunity in the west. From the onset
of the Depression until the beginning of
U.S. involvement in World War II.
uncounted millions found their way to
more desirable locales along the route,
leading to the build-up of a myriad of
services along the way. including some
of the first "all-American" diners, roadside
motels and drive-through convenience
stores. But the innovation that melded
so seamlessly Americans' love of movies,
the great outdoors and their cars was, of
course, the drive-in theatre.
Richard
Hollmyshead. a New
Jersey auto parts salesman, was
the first
to patch together the disparate
elements of cars and alfresco
in an attempt not just to rake
in box-office revenue, but to have a captive
audience to whom he could hawk

Lloyd Wright motif, with verj
sleek art deco-style step-backs on each
side ol' the screen. This basic design, featuring
a screen at least triple the size of
those indoors and suspended two stories
above the ground, became the logical
standard for all drive-ins to follow
Admission was $1 for as many peopleas
could be crammed into a car. The
huge advertisement painted on the
reverse of the screen shell announced, in
10-foot-tall black block lettering.
"Drive-In Theatre, the world's first. Sit
m your car. see and hear movies."
Ten months prior to opening his
drive-in, Hollingshead
applied to the U.S.
Patent Office for a
patent on his outdoor
theatre idea, which was
granted -U.S. Patent
number 1.909.537—
on May 16. 1933—less
than a month before
his grand opening.
"Hollingshead's
concept was for an
automobile theatre
[in which] people
drove into a parking
lot and stayed in their
car while watching
the movie," notes
Rick Cohen, owner of New York's
Transit Drive-in and the national event
coordinator for Hollingshead Day, an
annual nationwide celebration at most
drive-ins the first Saturday of each June.
"Before the drive-ins. there were some
outdoor theatres called air-dromes.
They operated much like indoor theatres
[in that] people walked in and sat in regular
chairs."
Hollingshead's patent was later revoked,
for reasons that are still unclear
today, by a Delaware court in 195(1. but
the main tenets of his original ideas
quickly inspired other entrepreneurs to
follow suit and build a number of driveins
across the nation.
"rm not certain that Hollingshead
made any money from his patent. Some
theatres might have paid limi. but most
probably refused." Cohen says, 'loo
bad he didn't have a better lawyer."

An enduring mystery for those who
operate theatres along the route, as well
as for those who appreciate the history
o\' it. is the identity of the very first
drive-in to open along the fabled mother
road. Most were constructed immediately
after the end of WWII, at the time o\'
Route 60s greatest traffic flow, from
1948 to 1955. Two theatres, one in
Illinois and one in Missouri, could possibly
vie for the title o\' the firstopened—
both in the summer of 1949.

Drive-In, a couple miles down the load
from the 66

With its screen-sized sign, Carthage, Mo. 's 66 Drive-In can't be missed by travelers on the route for which it's named.
Dickinson Theatres purchased both
the 66 and the Webb City in 1971. The
Webb City ran almost continuously until
the late 1990s when, as is becoming an
almost common and collective fate for
many American drive-ins, the retail
giant Wal-Mart bought the land and
built a mega-center.
The 66 in Carthage, however, while
being spared the disgrace of hosting a
major retail store, was closed for almost a
decade. Current owner Mark Goodman,
a veteran of the metal business, purchased
the closed theatre from Dickinson
in 1986 to use as an automobile scrap lot.
"[Dickinson Theatres] was not actively
trying to sell this one," says Goodman. "I
just happened to talk to an acquaintance
in Fort Scott, Kansas, who had done the
same thing with a drive-in up there. I was
in a position where I had to move my
business, so I called Dickinson, and sure
enough it was available for sale."
Upon completion of the sale,
Dickinson stripped the theatre bare of
all technical and electronic attributes
and moved them to the Webb City
Drive-In. But when the scrap metal business
became less lucrative for Goodman
in mid-'90s, he made the bold decision
to convert the land back to its former
use as a drive-in theatre, which reopened
in early 1997.
"We really didn't know what to expect,
but it's turned out well for us," says
Goodman. Unexpected miracles accompanied
the 66's wondrous rebirth: As the
nearby Webb City was preparing to
close, Goodman discovered that all of
the 66 Drive-in's original equipment was
still stashed there. "It's kind of ironic:
They stripped the place of equipment
and took it all over to the Webb City
Drive-In, " he notes. "I happened to
know the service guy for Dickinson, who
gave me a call when they decided to sell
the Webb City. So I was able to get all
the original stuff back."
A former projectionist reappeared out
of the blue as well. "I was out trimming
the hedges one day, and a lady came by
and wanted to know if we needed any
help," Goodman recalls. "[It turned out]
she worked here in high school when it
was owned by Dickinson. The manager
[at that time] told her that a woman had
no place in the projection room; it was a
guy's thing. So the nights he was gone,
she talked the projectionist into letting
her in up there, and he showed her how
to run everything. Since 1998 she's been
our projectionist."
Although complete with modern
sound and projection upgrades, as well
as major improvements to the snack bar
and bathrooms, the theatre has recaptured
the feel of opening night during
the heyday of Route 66. "This year is the
75th anniversary of the road, and there
are a lot more tourists than usual.
Everyone stops in and takes pictures. We
still have the original marquee and glass
brick ticket booth, and I have all the
neon back up the way it was when it
opened, and it really does look like
1949," Goodman says.
Although Goodman would be the last
to give himself any kind of credit for the
recent revival within the drive-in industry,
his reopening of the 66 in 1997 gave
a powerful and completely unexpected
psychological boost to those considering
similar conversions and restorations of
classic roadside theatres.
"The 66 in Carthage is a great success
story," notes Dan Harlow, a writer
and photographer who has spent many
years documenting the road. "The theatre
is a throwback to the old tradition
of drive-ins when the owners would
have concerts to open films, and add
other attractions like playgrounds for
the kids in addition to the movie itself."
Today, about half of the original
Route 66 drive-in sites remain, most
severely weathered, battered and bruised
after years if not decades of abandonment.
A surprising number of tall, virtually
indestructible screen towers still dot
the landscape, surrounded by lonely
acres of cracked and fading black
asphalt and the occasional pole from
which speakers were once hung to give
voice to a movie or a sonic atmosphere
to other in-car activities.

GC-120 AC Line Purifier
A Professional AC Line Purifier designed especially for Quality Cinema Sound Systems
The Garbage Collector is designed for use in professional projection
booths in multiplex cinemas to maximize the performance
of high power multi-channel sound systems. The booth is one of
the most hostile electrical environments because of RFI producing
equipment (Xenon strikes), huge power surges (motors and
relays), and garbage on the AC line reflected by other businesses
in a shopping center (and from other booths). Our product was
designed to cure almost any type of AC line problem (except flat
topping - call the power company!) and to purify the line to
improve the capability of your expensive high performance
sound systems.
There are many products on the market called "Line
Conditioners" that promise to "condition" the AC line to remove
harmful RF signals, line spikes, and high transient pulses. Many
are marketed for Home Theatre use. Various schemes are used
The CC-1 20 Line Purifier is a true AC Line
Balancing System.
A huge custom made toroidial transformer (complete
with a Faraday shield) receives the unbalanced AC
power from the power company and converts it to a
fully balanced output to feed your components. This
power converter offers a very high degree of common
mode rejection to "garbage" on the power line while
reducing ground loops that can cause hum in audio
systems, and video noise in D-Cinema projectors. The
35 lb. transformer is designed for 2000 Watts continuous
service but is conservatively rated for 1 875 Watts
due to UL approval considerations. The GC-120 will
power all the components in the average cinema sound
rack.

The GC series is not a line conditioner but an AC line purifier,
similar to the water purifiers you can add to your kitchen water

found on many AC power lines.

As
Route 66 rambles south from
Mark Goodman's 66 Drive-In
past Joplin, Mo., it gently bisects
the southeastern corner of Kansas for
about 10 miles before dipping into
Oklahoma for a run clean across the
state. As if scripted in one of the movies
it might have shown over the years, the
lone drive-in along Route 66 in
Kansas—the evocatively named Twi-
Lite in Baxter Springs— was destroyed
the ultimate sci-fi camp drive-in movie
"The Blob," a classic car show, an allnight
buffet, and music and dancing this
summer. To aficionados and area residents,
the place will be missed.
"The drive-in certainly has a cult following—a
tiny cult, unfortunately,"
notes Chris Willman, an L. A. -based
writer and drive-in enthusiast. "It's the
last operating single-screen drive-in in
the greater L.A. area. The theatre sits on

in classic Hollywood fashion by a fierce
tornado in the 1980s, sending the screen
up into movie heaven.
Sadly, many former classic drive-ins
along the route have been relegated to a
fate more in line with Dante's Inferno
than "The Wizard of Oz."
Wal-Mart has scooped up not only
the Webb City in Missouri, but also the
66 Drive-in in Elk City, Okla. A Lowes
Home Improvement store was built
over the 1-44 Drive-In in Crestwood,
Mo., while two other Missouri driveins,
the Manchester and the 66 Park-In.
have been converted into shopping
complexes, along with the former Mt.
Baldy Drive-In just outside of Los
Angeles.
Even worse, perhaps, was the conversion
of Springfield, Mo.'s Sunset Drivein
into a trailer park and the reconfiguration
of the Joshua Drive-in in
Victorville, Calif.—ironically the hometown
of the Route 66 Museum—into a
car dealership.
Opened in 1955, the Foothill Drive-In
in Azusa, Calif, situated a little over a
half-hour east of downtown Los
Angeles, was one of the very last to open
and one of the largest built along Route
66. Edwards Theatres operated the theatre
for years before giving it up in late
2000 to Pacific Theatres. But despite the
drive-in's relative health. Pacific sold the
Foothill in the spring of 2001 to nearby
Azusa University for campus expansion.
The Foothill Drive-In is going out in
grand style, featuring a rare screening of
a huge lot—the largest I've ever seen for
any existing single-screen drive-in—and
is lucky to pull in a few cars on a given
night. Route 66 will not be the same
without this ghostly hulk of a place."
I
think that families are responsible
for the recent rediscovery of driveins
over that past five to 10 years,"
says Jennifer Sherer. CEO of Drive On
In and co-owner with her brother Kip of
the comprehensive website www.driveins.com,
which features not only extensive
historical facts and figures about
drive-ins, but also current showtimes
and up-to-the-minute weather conditions
for all operational U.S. drive-ins.
"People who have gotten a little too
wrapped up in the fast pace of things
have finally stepped back and gotten
some perspective. It's kind of nice to
have something simple, slow and
uncomplicated that reminds us of a time
when things were not so fast."
In fact, Mark Goodman of Missouri's
66 Drive-In opts to screen only films
rated PG-13 and under to encourage
families to attend on a more regular
basis and to discourage the rowdy teen
crowds that became the scourge of
drive-ins throughout the late '60s and
early '70s.
"There was a time when drive-ins
were completely overrun by teenagers,
but it's different now. I think it's really
good to have an entertainment alternative
that doesn't cost an arm and a leg,"
Sherer adds.
Sherer and her brother, both in
their
early 30s, have been touring the drive-ins
along the highways and by-ways of
America for the past several years, alone
and as guides for other enthusiasts. A
recent week along Route 66 is documented
day-by-day on their website,
including stops at each and every drivein
site, open as well as closed.
"We are trying to capture history
before it is completely paved over,"
Sherer says. "What Route 66 was really
about is how people used to travel and
take their time. They stopped in all the
little towns, they ate in the little diners
and shopped in shops owned by the
townspeople, not big chain stores.
"My brother and I are both children of
the '70s, and we've never experienced the
drive-in's heyday, yet we feel this nostalgic
pull to something that we never experienced
first-hand. We did go as kids, but
the drive-in of the '70s certainly was not
the drive-in of the '50s. So we were really
drawn to this thing that we saw as disappearing
from the landscape."
The Sherers' on-the-road research
and website venture is just the beginning
of a business that will include a Las
Vegas-area family entertainment complex
themed around a newly-built drivein
theatre.
Research available on the Sherers'
website asserts that the total number of
American drive-ins has finally leveled
off after years of steady decline.
According to Randy Loy. president of
the United Drive-in Theatre Owners
Association, the tide has certainly
turned. Drive-ins are back in vogue with
a new generation that intends to keep
the history and legacy alive.
"Right now, we're hoping to see the
continued opening and re-opening of
drive-in theatres," Loy says. "Luckily for
the industry, the number of drive-ins
closing is leveling off and we're seeing
theatres reopen in such places as New
York State, Maryland and Missouri.
We're very hopeful that this continues—
younger people are wanting to get into
the business, while others are taking over
family drive-ins."
Not even President Eisenhower and
his battle plan for a multi-billion-dollar
interstate highway system could fully
eliminate Route 66 from the map. The
route—despite being forgotten and
neglected over many stretches, and converted
into major city thoroughfares like
L.A.'s Santa Monica Boulevard and
Chicago's Adams Street—has, after 75
years, remained as vibrant as anything
man-made could hope to be. The road
that gave Americans a modern-day perspective
on the euphoric power of their
rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness has left a legacy not only of
drive-in movie theatres, diners, hotels
and strange roadside architecture, but
also the hope and wonder o\' dreams
come true and a great nation built, mt

o
n a huge plot of
land in upstate
New York, just
minutes outside of
the city limits of
working-class
Buffalo, unusual,
mystical events
have taken place virtually every weekend
since 1952. The beautiful, bright lights
dancing on huge screens, the disembodied
voices and pulsing music, and the parade of
automobiles collectively drawn to this same
spot at the same time each night has been
witnessed and documented by the locals for
years.
It's no X-file: The Transit Drive-In in
Lockport, New York, has transfixed and
entertained countless people over the past
49 years and is still going strong as one of
the few fully operational classic drive-ins
constructed during the post-war drive-in
building boom that lasted from 1948-1958.
Over this period, more than 3,000 drive-ins
sprung up along the highways, by-ways and
rural roads of America as car-happy folks
escaped the cities and sought solace and
diversion in the suburbs.
Under the steady hand of third-generation
owner Rick Cohen, whose family
helped to pioneer exhibition in upstate New
York, the Transit Drive-In—closing in on
its 50th birthday—is hardly a still-operational
relic of days long past, but rather a
vibrant, growing business that is contemporary
in every respect.
The Cohens began their foray into exhibition
in 1927, when Rick's grandparents.
Irving and Mary Cohen, purchased a small
theatre in Wayland, New York. From there,
the family built several more indoor venues
over the years, as well as other drive-ins:
"In 1949, they built the Van Buren Drive-in
in Dunkirk, which they operated until it
closed in 1979," Cohen notes on the
Transit's extensive website (which not only
gives current screening information but
also an up-to-the-minute weather report).
"In 1951, they built the Sheridan Drive-In
near Buffalo, which closed in 1982. In 1957,
they purchased the Transit Drive-In from a
group of Buffalo-area businessmen."
The Transit's success is a testament to
the viability of what was very recently
considered an extinct exhibition venue.

"We need to remind people
that we're a quality alternative,"
Cohen says. "We're
not the drive-in theatre people
remember from the '70s
that would show 'Teenage
Mutant Cheerleaders from
Neptune.'"
Cohen took over the
operation of the Transit at
the young age of 19. "I
grew up going to drive-ins
in the summertime, hanging
out and helping my father,"
Cohen recalls. "I felt that
someone should carry on
the tradition, so when I
graduated from high school
I took over the business."
With the drive-in industry
in deep decline, Cohen had
a formidable challenge on
his hands. As cities grew
and expanded throughout
the '70s and '80s,
the pressure
on drive-in owners to
sell their massive parcels of
land was strong, and the
money offered was in most cases generous
if not completely extraordinary.
And on top of it all, the baby-boom
generation that embraced drive-ins as
kids quickly shunned them for the comforts
of the indoor multiplex.
Serendipitously for Cohen, the nearby
cities have never threatened to encroach
upon the Transit for expansion, and a
new generation of kids and young adults
in Buffalo and its surrounding colleges
and universities have discovered the
theatre.
"The University of Buffalo is 10 miles
away from us, and we have a strong surrounding
population to draw from,"
Cohen says. "The good news for us is
that we are on the outskirts of the communities;
once you become prime development
real estate and the community is
moving in, they begin building strip
malls and department stores around
you—that's when drive-in theatres get
squeezed out."

The Transit existed for 40 years with a
single screen and room for 1 .000 cars, but
has expanded over the past decade to
four screens. The original 1 00-foot screen
was blown down during a devastating
windstorm in the early '70s but was
quickly replaced. The second screen was
erected in 1994; a third was added, along
with an upscale new snack bar, in 1996;
and the fourth was just completed in
June. "These last two screens were due in
part to the fact that the film distributors
were willing to provide better product. So
we expanded," Cohen says.
No longer the home to Z-grade

down with an ice-cold Pepsi in
the Super-Size container. Nothing
beats it!
Advice To Other Exhibitors:
Drive-in operators are exhibitors
too!
"We encourage people to come early and
watch the sunset and get comfortable,"
Cohen says.
The screening format allows audiences
the chance to see a double-feature,
or a triple if they have the endurance.
The first screening begins after sundown,
followed by a second feature. The
first film then screens again after the second
has completed. Even people coming
off the late shift at the nearby General
Motors plant can catch one, if not two,
movies. "They love that," Cohen exclaims.
But it is the universal appeal of seeing
a big summer blockbuster on a mammoth
screen under the stars on a warm
summer's night that has kept the caravan
of cars trekking to the Transit. Although
drive-ins are a seasonal venture—typically
April to November in upstate New
York—the economics are a constant
worry: A rained-out weekend, for example,
means a week with zero revenue.
"The drive-in business almost defies
economic rational. But I do think driveins
have a place in the hearts of
Americans," Cohen muses. "It's more
than just going to the movies. People
will drive up to an hour to get to a drivein.
Half of our customers drive more
than half an hour to get here."
Cohen
is certain that his grandparents
would approve of his work
at the Transit, and their legacy as
exhibitors continues to inspire his every
decision.
"For me personally, this drive-in theatre
is more important than the bank
account," Cohen says. "I really don't
want to be a [major circuit] and have
3,000 screens across America. My ambij
tion is to just run a drive-in and have fun
in the summertime and make people!
happy in my own special way." mi

SPECIAL REPORT: Drive-In Directory
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
A Roster of Drive-ins Worldwide
by Debrean and Randy Loy
Hamilton, Ohio's Holiday Auto Theatre welcomes drive-in fans year-round.
Amidst all
the excitement about the
new technologies in use or in development
for the cinema industry,
and all the talk about the financial woes
currently facing a number of the major
movie theatre chains, it is easy to forget
about the many small, independently operated
venues where many people still enjoy
going to see the latest that Hollywood has
to offer.
Certainly not least among these is
the drive-in theatre, a type of cinema that,
while facing many obstacles and far fewer
in number than during the drive-in building
boom of the 1950s, has shown remarkable
resilience and an ability to adapt to
modern cinemagoing tastes. Drive-ins
seem to be finding a new following as they
are being sought out by a new generation
or rediscovered by people who arc now
recalling the fun and convenience of
watching filmed entertainment at an outdoor
theatre.
While it was only a few years ago that
industry watchers were saying there would
never be another new drive-in theatre built,
and that drive-ins would continue to close,
a number of outdoor exhibitors have
stepped up to prove them wrong. In fact,
not only have quite a few long shuttered
drive-in theatres been reopened, but
brand-new drive-ins have indeed been built
and more are in the planning stages. A
twin-screen outdoor theatre, the Park 60,
just opened this summer in Jamestown,
N.Y., and construction on a three-screen
drive-in theatre in Eldersburg, Md., is
scheduled for the groundbreaking phase
this year.
Drive-ins exist around the globe! They
are often difficult to track down for documentation
purposes. This list was compiled
from countless hours of telephone
calls, newspaper articles and website links.
It is an incomplete list, especially on the
international front. This list does not contain
mobile drive-ins, outdoor cinema festivals,
non-profit or charity venues. If you
are an owner of a drive-in not listed here,
the United Drive-In Theatre Owners
Association is very interested in knowing
about you. The UDITOA can be reached
via the contact information at the end of
the list.

SPECIAL REPORT: CinemaExpo Recap —
EURO FLASH
Straight From Scenic Amsterdam,

Highlights of CinemaExpo 2001 by Franca Dingiasan
CINEMAEXPO DAY ONE:
EURO SEMINAR
CinemaExpo Panel Examines
Effects of U.S. Exhibition Industry
As has been the tradition over the
past several years, exhibition-distribution
gathering CinemaExpo kicked off
with a Media Salles-hosted panel discussion
on the current state of the
European movie theatre industry.
Though the Atlantic may separate
continental cinema operators and their
American brethren, the body of water
is obviously not wide enough to keep
the financial turmoil affecting U.S.
exhibitors from generating concern
overseas, as evinced by the focus of the
CinemaExpo opening event entitled,
"Difficult Times in the USA: Will It
Affect European Growth?"
Panel members included Dodona
Research's Karsten Grummit, Media
Salles vice president Joachim Ph. Wolff
and secretary general Elisabetta Brunella.
Cyprus-based K Cineplex marketing
manager Froso Adamides. Turkey-based
KGM-Odeon Cineplex managing director
Mehmet Altioklar and United
Cinemas International Central Europe
general director V.J. Maury.
Although some speakers on the
panel declined, or avoided, offering an
opinion regarding any existing correlation
between the American and European
exhibition industries, others
declared that the aftermath of the U.S.
plex building boom—and the resulting
string of Chapter 1 1 filings among several
of the country's top circuits—has
already altered construction plans in
Europe, most notably throughout the
central and eastern territories.
UCI's Maury—whose own company
is currently constructing two cinema
venues in the region, including a new
multiscreener in Prague—observed that
interest in building modern multiplex
sites in countries with developing
economies, such as the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Hungary, hit its highpoint
last year. Noting that 200 1 has marked
a downturn in the region's cinema
development, he believes that foreign
investors in particular have opted to
take a more cautious approach to
expansion. "The meltdown in the U.S.
created a crisis of confidence in the
European industry," he said.
Grummit. topper of exhibition industry
consultant Dodona Research, pondered
whether European theatre owners
really are on the verge of a U.S.-like crisis—as
many observers, including his
own company, have observed that screen
oversaturation and theatre overbuilding
are threatening several regional markets.
He, however, ultimately believes that
despite the proliferation of new multiplexes,
circuits on the continent have
been far more prudent about borrowing
from its creditors and will thus be likely
to avoid the fate that befell many chains
in the U.S. "European [exhibitors] are
smarter than their American counterparts,"
he remarked.
Media Salles' Wolff offered an alternative
way of looking at the European
exhibition industry by using the analogy
of pig raising, one of the Netherlands'
most important sources of income,
in relation to the current state of
the movie theatre business.
He explained that when pig raisers
put the wheels in motion to produce a
large generation of oinkers to increase
profit margins, it's based on the idea
that the public demand for the meat will
remain steady. Likewise, theatre projects
can be "in the pipeline" years
before they open their doors to the public.
As a result, complexes that were put
into the works during a more optimistic
period in the industry are now bowing
in a less stable market.
Wolff noted the number of screens
that opened last year in Europe is a clear
indication of such over-ambitious planning.
However, since the new multiplex
openings are a reflection of plans from
several years ago. he expects the screen
count to come down as soon as next
year—a figure that he feels will more
accurately reflect the U.S. backlash on
European cinema construction.
Also discussed during the morning
event was the exhibition situation in
Central Europe and the Mediterranean—regions
that, according to
Brunella's Media Salles research,
have seen attendance figures decline
over the last few years, despite heavy
theatre construction.
However, the drop in ticket sales didn't
seem to affect exhibition company
representatives Altioklar and Adamides'
outlook on their respective territories.
Altioklar noted that the majority of
Turkey's population is college-age and
younger, a demographic that holds much
promise for cinema operators.
Adamides, too, expressed optimism,
remarking that her movie theatre chain
K Cineplex has devoted itself to bringing
the cinema experience back to Cypriots,
who, because of the territory's widespread
and unadulterated sale of inexpensive
pirated goods, had only one theatre
available to them a few years ago.

DAY ONE: TECH SEMINAR
D-Cinema Still Heats Debate
Who would have thought that the
longstanding argument between exhibition
and distribution regarding the
question "Who will pay for digital
conversion?" would cause controvers>
among exhibitors- it" the answer
wasn't "exhibitors"?
Ironically, that was just the ease at
this year's CinemaExpo technical seminar,
entitled "Digital Cinema. Why the
Wait?" Moderated by Screen Digests
Ben Keen, the group of panel members
included event host Eastman Kodak
cinemas operations manager Denis
Kell>. Boeing's David Baker. Walt Disney
Co.'s Phil Barlow. Kinepolis
Group's Joost Bert, Techicolor's Doug-
advocates, indicated that it was ridiculous
that the issue of whose deep
pockets would cover the high cost of
widespread digital equipment installation
was still being raised by cinema
operators. "Studios will pay," he
boomed. "We are not going to make
money for seven years. The goal is to
get more people to the cinema." Ikadded
that since that was decided, it
was time to move on to other topics,
rather than rehashing the "same
debate three years in a row."
Kinepolis' Bert and Odeon's Segal,
the two representative exhibitors on the
panel, were not completer) convinced
that the issue had been closed. Segal
volleyed back that Barlow's statement
during the afternoon event "was the
first time [he'd] ever heard that a studio
would pay" a fact rather remarkable.
he believed, smce "Odeon represents 25
percent of the screens in the UK." Ikadded
that he thought it "dangerous"

in his opinion, still clearly up in the air.
In fact, when Segal pressed Barlow
regarding whether the other studios
were in agreement with Disney, Barlow
joked that he'd "go to jail" if he
were to speak on behalf of the other
Hollywood majors.
Segal and Bert also noted that not
enough digital product has
been made available to them,
rendering their expensive
installations useless. Moreover,
Segal observed that patrons
at the Leicester Square
Odeon theatre in London did
not respond favorably to a
digital presentation.
To these comments. Barlow
responded, "I am sorry
we haven't made enough
product.... If moviegoers in
Leicester Square don't like
digital presentations then
they're the only ones in the
world. There have been

which could be compromised by dictates
handed down by studios as part of
their funding of D-Cinema.
And though the afternoon debate
was lively, the panelists closed on a
much lighter note than they began.
When Bert put forth the idea that
European theatre operators unify to
lobby the EU to pass laws protecting
their various concerns regarding digital
cinema and other issues pertaining to
exhib-distrib relations. Harlow, noting
the complications of government involvement,
quipped. "Why would you
want to do that.' ...Joost. you are one of
the most confident and competent people
I know. Hell, you've taken the shirt
off my back several times."
Bert answered lightly. "Now I'm
going for you slip."

results naturally seem to support basic
common sense solutions to the problem
of marketing numerous items at once.
Among Jones' most helpful suggestions
were ones that pertained to the
concepts of organization and absence
of clutter. Citing the importance of
optimal menu board design, he recommended
using solid-colored backdrops
to stress the readability of menu items,
but noted that "black [words] on white
tended to get absorbed into the background"
and should thus be avoided.
White on black, he observed, worked
to the exact opposite and more
desirous effect, thrusting the words to
the customer's attention.
Jones also pointed out to the few
hundred delegates attending the morning
seminar that patrons tended to scan
menu boards left to right and in downward
columns, just as they've learned to
read books. In addition to making sure
the concession items are presented
accordingly, Jones also recommended
exhibitors "place the highest priced
item first," with other items listed in
descending price order.
Other helpful tips touched on the
importance of using graphics around
the concession area and combo merchandising.
Jones stressed that pricing

President of Walt Disney Animation
Thomas Schumacher was on
hand to introduce clips from a number
of feature films scheduled for rollout
over the next few years. Since the
windows of release for the movies
range from this summer to 2004, the
onscreen snippets were in varying
stages of completion.
Among the films promoted to the
audience were "Beauty and the Beast,"
which Disney plans to release in large

previously unheard song. Additionally,

and the organizers delivered
on their word.
Making a special trip to Amsterdam
to accept this recognition was "The Animal"
star Rob Schneider, who dressed
up for the occasion in his best Hawaiian
shirt and shell beads. Among the people
he thanked for the award were executives
at Columbia, NATO president John
Fithian and international theatre operators.
"By the way. it's great to be in a
country where exhibitors aren't going
broke," he quipped.
Schneider also wanted to extend his
gratitude to the people at Buena Vista,
which released his box-office blockbuster
"Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo"
last year. Hearing nothing but silence
from the hundreds of conventioneers at
the event in response to his inquiry.
"Are there any people from Buena Vista
here?," Schneider retorted, "They must
be in another room."

CinemaExpo Celebrates
10th Anniversary at Awards Ceremony
Since
its inception in 1992,
CinemaExpo has served as
a forum for distributors to
screen their upcoming releases in
European territories. To pay tribute
to that unique aspect of the convention,
the 2001 show's final night
awards ceremony opened with a
brief retrospective of films that have
debuted on the continent at the
annual exhibition-distribution confab
over the past decade. Among
the more than 80 films that have
become part of the show's filmography
are "Of Mice and Men," "The
Lion King," "Apollo 13," "Mission
Impossible." "Men In Black,"
"There's Something About Mary,"
"Big Daddy" and "Dinosaur."
Following the five minutes
worth of footage, Joseph Peixoto,
topper of European exhibition
giant UCI, bestowed
the first award of the
evening to Distributor
of the Year Andrew
Cripps. Peixoto said of
Cripps, who currently
serves as president and
COO of UIP, that
under his leadership,
the company that handles
rollout in foreign
territories for Paramount,
Universal and
DreamWorks made "$1.7 billion [in] international gross."
Cripps, noting UIP's ups-and-downs over the past couple
of years as different studios reconsidered their partnerships
with his company, expressed his
gratitude to UIP chairman and CEO
Paul Oneile. the exhibition community
and his wife and daughters.
Comedy director Ivan Reitman
accepted the next award of the evening,
following a slight delay to the screening
of his film clips due to a projector malfunction—a
problem the audience of
mostly exhibitors is quite familiar with.
Once the show got back on schedule,
Reitman said he was very happy about
receiving the Award of Excellence in
Filmmaking, since "comedies don't get a lot of these."
Defending the merit of his genre, Reitman
recounted, "People keep asking me, 'When are
you going to do something serious?'—as if that
would be an improvement on what I do." He also
acknowledged the international make-up of the
audience by commenting, "It thrills me that my
hard work is shown throughout the world."
Nigel Clark, whose promotional efforts have
included campaigns for box-office hits "Men In
Black," "My Best Friend's Wedding" and
"Charlie's Angels," was next to receive an
award for International Achievement in
Marketing. In his acceptance speech, he gave his thanks to
his team at Sony as well as to CinemaExpo itself. The yearly
show, he said, "gives everyone the chance to catch up
with old friends, spend far too long in Amsterdam
bars.. and brag about our films."
Following Clark was Cine-UK
head Steve Weiner, who accepted his
Exhibitor of the Year Award by delivering
what was unquestionably the
most heartfelt speech of the evening.
Recounting the great risk—and
resulting great reward—that were
involved in establishing his theatrical
circuit six years ago, Wiener shared
that when his twin sons were 12 and
his daughter was 10, he asked them if
they could postpone Christmas in
exchange for a 10 percent stock
option in his new company. They accepted, and now as university
students. "They must have gotten advice from distributors
because they won't renegotiate," he laughed.
Wiener added that he was
quite gratified to
know that there now
are "1.600 people
working back in the
UK [because of an]
idea that started in my
living room with my
wife." He closed by
stating, "There's nothing
else in this world
I'd rather be doing,"
and described exhibition
as "the greatest
profession in the world."
The final presentation of the evening
went to the highly successful UK-based
production team of Tim Bevan and Eric
Fellner. Among the movies produced by
the partners' Working Title Films are
"Four Weddings and a Funeral,"
"Notting Hill" and the recently released
"Bridget Jones's Diary."
On hand to present the
Producers of the Year Award to
the duo was actor Hugh Grant,
making his second appearance in
three years at CinemaExpo.
Grant remarked that the situation
he found himself in at the show
felt "weird." "This time, I'm givng
something to pro-
:ers," he quipped.
Fellner, in turn,
xpressed his thanks
o Grant for helping
heir films become international box-office hi
ie also was sure to extend his gratitude to ";
directors, actors and writers who have
worked with us through the years."
Bevan added that they also were indebted to
exhibitors. "Without your support, we wouldn't
stand a chance." he said.

screen cleaning method, we're bringing that expertise to the world.
Theatre Services International, Inc. will continue to provide products and performance

FIRST PERSON: Staff Management
DIVERSITY,
NOT ADVERSITY
A How-To Guide to Success
by Randall Blaum
In the next
decade, well
probably see
greater changes
in the types
of people we
employ than
in the types of
technologies
we use.
Everyone seems to hate the topic of
diversity just as much as they hate
the topic of change. Like change,
diversity is unavoidable. And that is
exactly why we must constantly be aware
of how to handle diversity in a professional
and upbeat manner.
In the next decade, we'll probably see
greater changes in the types of people
we employ than in the types of technologies
we'll use. Did you know that
during the coming 10 years the vast
majority of all entrants to the workforce
will be women, minorities, immigrants,
and senior citizens'? Given that, how will
you handle the ever-changing demographics
of your employees?
First, diversity should not be considered
a "dirty" word. Diversity among
staff members is an important resource
that can improve the overall operation
of your theatre in ways you might not
have foreseen. However, there are barriers
to overcome for effectively handling
staff diversity. They include prejudice, a
tendency to blame the victim, language
difficulties, and cultural clashes. Successfully
overcoming these "barriers" is
ultimately the responsibility of the theatre
managers and their supervisors who
set the example for the rest of the staff.
To curtail any negative diversity issues
that might arise, you need to set a positive
tone for diversity in your theatre and
then expect your employees to follow
your example. Here are seven tips for
achieving diversity success:
• Admit to yourself that you just
might have some prejudices, and then
take steps to heal them.
• Create a high level of positive interdependence
among stall' members.
• Communicate often with staff members
and allow for candid discussions in
which honest) is valued and people are
still Heated with dignity and respect.
• Create a group identity based on
shared values or a common mission.
• Clarify miscommunication between
Staff members immediately.
• Hue a genuinely diverse group of
employees, as long as...
• You make sure you always hire the
right person for the right job, no matter
what their cultural background. When
diversity is forced, it turns into adversity.
In
this ever-changing world, if you
haven't yet been asked to lead a
diverse team, just wait. Managing
diversity isn't only for the human
resources people anymore. What you do
with your leadership is up to you. You
can be the good catalyst supporting your
workforce, or you can be the negative
influence creating an unpleasant environment
(can you say "harassment'.'").
In order to be the good leader behind
a well-run, profitable theatre, commit
the next six diversity tips to memory.
Implementing them and making sure
your staff and managers are in sync with
them will help ensure that you create a
great place to work with less turnover,
fewer shortages, and higher profits.
• Don't separate people. Avoid phrases
like "Jewish people understand when...."
• Notice what people call themselves.
Do they say "Persian" or "Iranian,"
"Korean" or "Asian?"
• Don't condescend or patronize.
Avoid phrases like, "You. of all people,
should understand the importance of...."
• Be willing to change your biases,
opinions, and points of view. You just
might be wrong. (It happens.)
• Use parallel titles and terms. For
example, don't refer to men by their last
names but to women by first names.
• If you're unsure how to address
someone, ask. Don't assume.
Yes, there's a lot to think about when
it comes to diversity in your theatre or
corporate offices. But you can celebrate
the differences in your staff members
and. you'll find, everyone will benefit.
Finally, the best tip o\' all is to make
absolutely sure that you're at least aware
of all the man) diversity issues going on
with your people. If you lose thai awi ncness.
start looking! Adversity may be on
its way if it's not there already. I I
Ins is
where a "change" would be a good
thing. See how this works ')

BRIEFINGS
a
SH0WMANDISER PROMOTION OF THE MONTH
LEAD STORY: AMC EMERGES AS
BIDDER FOR GENERAL CINEMA
Kansas City-based AMC Entertainment
caught many industry observers off-guard
by putting forth a $62.5 million offer for
Chestnut Hill, Mass. -based General
Cinema last July. The bid, which was submitted
during bankruptcy court sessions in
Wilmington, Del., is $20 million higher
than the $42.5 million bid place by
investors Onex Corp. and Oaktree Capital
Management for General Cinemas' 73-site,
677-screen circuit. The extra $20 million
proposed by AMC would be paid to
General Cinema's unsecured creditors—
group that generally receives nothing in
bankruptcy settlements.
General Cinema, which filed for Chapter
11 protection in October 2000, had requested
an extension in exclusivity rights for
determining its restructuring plan. A group
of GC creditors, representing approximately
66 percent of the cinema chain's total $236
million debt, however, quickly challenged
the exclusivity plan in court, hoping to submit
its own outline for reorganization. The
court granted the creditors co-exclusivity
privileges, including a 45-day period to submit
an alternative reorganization plan.
Following news of AMC's bid for
General Cinema, chairman and CEO of the
Kansas City-based company Peter Brown
remarked in a public statement, "AMC has
previously stated its interest, as part of its
strategic plan, in acquiring theatre assets
that are consistent with the quality of (he
AMC theatre circuit."
PRIMEDIA WITHDRAWS
SALE OF STER CENTURY
After several months of being on the auction
block, the European arm of South
African exhibitor Ster Kinekor is no longer for
sale. Ster parent company Primedia
announced that as part of its major restructuring,
the conglomerate has raised an estimated
$80 million in refinancing for its continental
multiplex circuit Ster Kinekor. One of
the primary uses of the funds will be to continue
ahead with construction plans on eight
new multiplexes across Europe. Among the
chief creditors involved in the finance package
are shareholder Kersaf and investor ING
Barings, which each provided $20 million,
while $30 million was raised through a bank
facility, and Primedia kicked in the remaining
$10 million. The move will decrease Primedia's
share holdings in the cinema circuit

Master Tony Romano's students displaying their craft
in the lobby of Destinla Theatres' North Versailles Plaza 22 site.
N.J.-based Destinta Theatres celebrated its second anniversary at the
North Versailles Plaza 22 location the weekend of June 29. 2001, with festivities
including candy giveaways courtesy of Continental Concessions as
well as promotional movie items provided by DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox.
Circuit CEO Thomas J. Rizzo was in attendance and personally thanked visitors
for making Destinta the most successful theatre in North Versailles, Penn.
The fun carried over to the next weekend with the opening of Fox's "Kiss of the
Dragon." Pittsburgh's own Master Tony Romano, a fifth-degree blackbelt and former
heavyweight champion, entertained the sold-out house with a martial arts
demonstration. Master Romano showcased his most talented students ranging in
age from 4 to 45. The students performed various techniques as well as breaking
wooden boards in mid-air. Not to be outdone, Master Tony stunned the audience
by lying barebacked on broken glass and allowing 300 pound concrete blocks to
be broken on his chest via a sledgehammer.
All guests attending the event were rewarded with promotional one-sheets provided
by Fox. Destinta GM John Himsel is extremely pleased with the promotion.
"We're very proud of what we have been able to accomplish here in only two
years," he says. "North Versailles has embraced us as their theatre of choice and
we continue to reward our customers for their loyalty by having these different
promotions. They really seem to enjoy it."

OFF-SITE TICKETING
AVAILABLE IN NYC
New York City-based Loews Cineplex has
made it possible for customers attending
any one of 13 theatres in its hometown to
skip the box office altogether. Starting last
July, moviegoers have had the option to go
online to www.fandago.com (a website run
partnership with Loews, Regal Cinemas,
in
General Cinema, Century Theatres,
Cinemark, Edwards Theatres, Magic
Johnson Theatres and Carmike Cinemas),
order tickets to any show playing at a participating
cinema and print the tickets right
at home. A barcode, which is scanned
when entering a Loews theatre, gets printed
on the ticket. The home ticketing option has
also been tested on a limited basis al theatres
in Texas and Utah, with future plans to
include additional locations nationwide.
Though filmgoers have had the option ol
ordering tickets over the phone or via the
Internet for quite some time, Loews' program
in New York is the first time lli.it ollsite
ticketing has been tested in ,i major market.
MOVIE DEBUTS
IN THE FRIENDLY SKIES
Travelers on a United Airlines flight from

Los Angeles to Hong Kong were treated to ;
a presentation of the Jackie Chan and Chris |
Tucker starrer "Rush Hour 2" eight days
before the film's domestic theatrical rollout.
As part of a marketing campaign sponsored
by the airline and the Hong Kong Tourism
Board, an unaltered version of the sequel to
the 1998 blockbuster was screened onboard
a single July 26 flight, with promotion
of the film continuing throughout
August. A spokesperson for United Airlines
notes that this is the first time in almost 20
years that the airline has screened a film
before its theatrical bow, naming MGM's
"Quick Before It Melts" in 1964 as the
company's last on-flight premiere. The
spokesperson also says that lie isn't aware
of any other airline ie< entl\ debuting a film

"Molly" on a flight to Australia, several
weeks before its U.S. release.

NEW LINE SETS FIRM TERMS
Distributor New Line's recent move to
deal in "firm terms" regarding film rental
fees has caused a stir within the domestic
exhibition industry. Though New Line isn't
the first studio to institute this approach to
box-office splits, in which movie theatres
and distributors negotiate rental costs
before a film's opening, industry analysts
claim that exhibitors' anger stems from the
fact that the number of studios opting to
conduct business in this manner continues
to grow. Universal has been dealing in firm
terms for the past two decades, but Warner
Bros, just recently switched to this system
starting with the May release of the Jennifer
Lopez starrer "Angel Eyes." Other distribs
operating in this method include Fox,
DreamWorks and Sony-
While exhibitors can sometimes benefit
under the firm-term model, as in cases
when studios underestimate the box-office
potential of surprise hits, movie theatre
operators are more likely to be damaged by
disappointing ticket sales, having significantly
less cash flow than distributors.
Exhibitors prefer to negotiate after a
film's theatrical run is complete because it
takes away the pressure of attempting to
predict a movie's box-office performance.
New Line theatrical distribution president
David Tuckerman, however, says that his
company decided to change to firm terms
because "it streamlines our business."
TWO AMC CINEMAS
GO "SCORE "-LESS
Paramount has decided to withhold its
Robert De Niro starrer "The Score" from
Kansas City-based AMC Entertainment's
sites in Omaha, Neb. and Oklahoma City,
Okla. because of the cinemas' participation
in an all-you-can-see monthly movie pass
program (see Exhibition Briefings, August
2001). Though AMC issued an assurance
that it would continue to pay studios on a
per-viewing basis when the promotional
pass was introduced, Paramount still
decided
against furnishing copies of the film
the two locations, refusing to disclose further
details regarding its decision. The studio
has provided the film to AMC's other
theatres throughout the country.
INTERNET GROUP PROTESTS
MOVIE THEATRE PRICES
A website dubbed WeCanDoThis.com
called for a one-day boycott of national
movie theatres in protest of what the organizers
call "the outrageously high price of
movie tickets and concession snacks."
Marking Friday the 1 3th last July as the day
for cinema patrons to make their voices
heard, the group hoped that the 24-hour
event, which was dubbed the National
Ticket Picket, would indeed prove unlucky
for exhibitors. A spokesperson for the site
has stated that thousands of people logged
on to the site during the days before the
scheduled protest, while hundreds of e-
mails had been sent to spread the message
that moviegoers should stay away from
theatres that Friday,

WORLDWIDE DX DOOM
PREDICTED FOR DECADE
According to the latest study released
by film industry analyst Informa Media
Group, revenues earned at the box office
will increase by 36 percent $6 billion over
the next nine years, reaching an estimated
$24 billion by 2010. The report, entitled
"Global Film: Exhibition & Distribution,"
predicts that the United States will represent
the lion's share of the box-office take,
accounting for 41 percent of revenues
earned by 2010, down from 45 percent
this year. However, while North American
dominance of the global box office is
declining, the continent still maintains its
stronghold due to the much higher admissions
price charged at its theatres. Informa
notes that the "global average ticket price
is only $1.90," with "most parts of Asia,
Africa and the Middle East" accounting
for the most extreme low prices. This partly
explains why the Asia Pacific region,
which is predicted to count more than
seven billion turnstile turns by 2010, will
earn just under $4.3 billion in box-office
gross, while North America, with 1.7 billion
admissions, will see $10.4 billion
during the same timeframe. The report
also estimates that global admissions will
jump by 1 7 percent to under 1 1 billion by
the end of the decade, after dipping slightly
from 1 999 records to this year's 9.2 Dillion
in
ticket sales.

TICKET TAX IN ARGENTINA
AFFECTS CINEMA ADMISSIONS
Exhibitors in Argentina have raised
admissions fees by as high as 1 5 percent in
some parts of the territory because of
recently introduced state taxes on cinema
tickets. Already suffering from an economic
recession, the price hike has contributed to
a further decline in attendance to theatres
throughout the country. The 21 percent
value-added tax was instituted last June and
is applied to both movie tickets and domestic
film productions. However, one organization
that has able to benefit from the levy
is Argentinian film institute INCAA, whicn
has fought to secure its full budget from the
government, which cut funding of the organization
following internal embezzlement
charges in 1998. The INCAA allocates
funds to local productions.

JAZZ FEST CONSIDERS
PURCHASING CINEMA
Organizers of the Monterey Jazz
Festival, which takes place annually in the
beautiful Northern California seaside
town, has indicated its intent to purchase
Englewood, Colo. -based United Artists
Theatre Circuit's State Theatre. The group
would like to transform the 1 ,600-seat cinema,
which first opened its doors to the
public in 1926, into a venue suitable for
live performances. However, before the
deal is finalized, festival organizers say
that they will first need to raise enough
funding to pay for the proposed renovations.
UATC, in the meantime, will keep
the State off the market to allow the festival
enough time to arrange its
finances.
THEATRE GROUP
CONSIDERS DIOGRAPH
Another movie theatre that may be
converted into a live performance venue
is the landmark Biograph Theatre in
Chicago. The site is currently being considered
as a possible new home by the
management of the Tony Award-winning
Victory Gardens Theatre. Though the
theatre group has reached a deal giving
it the option to buy the Biograph over
the next several months, board members
need to first determine if the venue
meets certain aesthetic and financial criteria.
The group has stated that if the
move to the Biograph occurred, the exterior
of the theatre would remain the
same but a mast renovation of the interior
would be undertaken to make it suitable
for the theatre group.
BALTIMORE INDIE
DECLARED ENDANGERED
The National Trust for Historic
Preservation has placed the Senator
Theatre in Baltimore on its most recent list
of America's Most Endangered Historic
Places. The single-screen, 900-seat
venue, which features an art deco decor
anrl has been in operation for over 60
years, has seen a steady decline in
patrons as a result of the proliferation of
morlern multiscreeners in nearby suburbs.
According to the nonprofit llislom
Preservation organization, whk h publishes
its listing of endangered venues annually
as well as maintains the National
Register of Historic places, independent
landmark cinemas such as the Senatoi
often lose out lo newer c inem.i ( omplexes

financial support to sites it names to its

awareness of the plight of landmark
buildings throughout the country.
MJR BUILDS UP IN BRIGHTON
The town of Brighton, Mich, in
Livingston Country is the site of a new M|R
Cinemas' multiplex replete with modern
comforts. Dubbed the Brighton Towne
Square Cinema 16, the 65,000-square-foot
venue features Dolby and Sony digital surround
sound systems, stadium-style highback
seating and auditoriums with screens
that measure as large as 55 feet wide.
Additional amenities include a concessions
area capable of handling 16 separate lines
at a time, two special rooms available for
parties or social functions and a projector
set up in the lobby that continually screens
movie previews. M|R Cinemas had originally
hoped to expand its existing ninescreener
in
Brighton but was denied a permit
by the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality. The company
decided to seek out other possible sites in
the county before finally settling on the present
location, across the town's West Grand
River from the older multiscreener.
GROUP RALLIES TO SAVE
OMAHA CINERAMA
In an effort to save Omaha's historic
its Indian Hills Theatre from scheduled
wrecking ball, a local organization rallied
support from some Hollywood
names. A group dubbed the Indian Hills
Theatre Preservation Society received
assistance from actors Janet Leigh,
Patricia Neal and Billy Gray, film critic
Leonard Maltin and composer David
Raskin in the form of letters directed to
Methodist Health System, the company
thai owns the building scheduled for
demolition. The cinema is unique in that
it is only one of three venues left in the
country with the ability to screen films
made in the special Cinerama-style format.
The preservation society, along with
an assembly of investors, has proposed to
lease the building and refurbish it with a
new screen appropriate for Cinerama
movies. Despite the group's valiant
efforts,
three of the four Indian Hills theatres
have been leveled, leaving only the
main auditorium. Anrl though still scheduled

THIEF TARGETS PHILLY THEATRE
Englewood, Colo.-based United Artists
Theatre Circuit's cineplex in South
Philadelphia was recently the site of an
armed robbery. According to local
police, an unidentified individual held
up four employees at gunpoint late in the
evening while cash was being transferred
from registers to the manager's office.
The thief escaped on foot, but no one
was hurt during the incident.
NASHVILLE CINEMA RAZED
A former Nashville moviehouse that has
been vacant for more than two decades
was recently demolished, much to the satisfaction
of several local residents. Considered
an eyesore by many, the Ritz
Theatre was demolished after engineers
conclusively decided that the building was
in such a state of decay that it would be
impossible to renovate. The 8,360-squarefoot
Ritz had opened in 1973 as a replacement
of another cinema located a few
blocks away, also clubbed the Ritz, which
was shut down when a local highway was
expanded onto the land on which it stood.
Among the various ways in which the
venue was used after the cinema was
closed include a bus station, a daycare center
and a Nashville Electric Service center—all
of which were unsuccessful. The
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development paid for the leveling of the
building through a grant of $250,000.

WIRED WORLD
FANDANGO PROMO
HITS SCREENS
(Inline tuketer Fandango, which up to
this point has relied solely on word-ofmouth
for marketing, has launched a trailer
to encourage moviegoers to purchase their
tickets online at www.fandango.com or via
telephone at 1-800-555-TELL. Called "Nice
Try," the comedic spot replaces long-running
AOL Moviefone ads in Fandango partners
Regal, Carmike, Cinemark, Edwards and
Century theatres and overlaps with the
rival's trailers at General Cinema and Loews,
which are scheduled to become exclusive to
Fandango by early next year. The spot is on
3,500 screens nationwide.
The trailer, which debuted on the Fourth of
July holiday weekend, features a would-be
patron who is turned away at the box office
because the latest blockbuster is sold out.
When he hears a couple utter the word
"Fandango" and promptly receive their tickets,
he mistakes the ticketer for some sort of secret
password—a nod to the company's nonmovie-related
nomenclature—and tries to use
it on various members of the theatre staff.
In other Fandango news, the online ticketer

KODAK JOINS DIGITAL REVOLUTION
Defying the digital cinema proponents who would put them out of business, Kodak has
inlK embraced the new technology, unveiling an early prototype of its digital cinema system
and demonstrating it for select groups of filmmakers, distributors and exhibitors.
Glenn Kennel, Kodak's digital cinema program
manager, says that the company is
throwing its hat into the proverbial digital cinema
ring because "it is our nature. We have
been in the motion picture business since
1889... land] we have been at the center of virtually
every significant technological development
since then."
Kodak's projector is powered by JVC's
2,048 x 1,536 pixel D-ILA microchip technology
that effectively doubles the resolution of
Texas Instruments' 1,280 x 1,024 chip. The
system also includes color management technology
and a cinema operating system that
supports the loading, scheduling and playback
of features, trailers and other pre-show
content with a user-friendly click-drag-anddrop
interface.
Kodak expects to
have its projector on
the market in 18
months, with demos
installed on six public
screens by early next year. Like many digital cinema dealers, however,
the company has not been involved in the ongoing discussions
about financing the conversion from traditional film to digital.
"We can't establish the business model for the theatres and the studios,"
Kennel says. The company hopes to halve the current estimated
cost of digital cinema projectors to $75,000, a figure calculated
based on the price of prints per screen and a five-year leasing
plan, to make digital cinema viable.

BUSH PREFERS
NEGOTIATIONS OVER
LIEBERMAN LEGISLATION
Senator Joseph Lieberman's (D-Conn.)
quest to pass legislation that would give the
Federal Trade Commission the ability to assess
fines against the entertainment industry if
products such as movies, video games or
music containing adult content are promoted
to underage consumers has received minimal
support from fellow Democrats in the Senate
and absolutely none from the Republican
party.
Lieberman's efforts have even included
a direct appeal to President Bush in the form
of a letter reiterating the purpose of his proposed
legislation. "We're simply saying that if
a movie studio, record producer or videogame
maker voluntarily labels something as
unsuitable for children,
then they should not
market those products directly to children,"
wrote the former vice presidential candidate.
Bush, however, has indicated that he is more
interested in working together with Hollywood
executives to reduce the amount of violence and
sex in the media rather than supporting Lieberman's
bill, which essentially uses the MPAA's
voluntary rating system as the framework for
determining criminal marketing practices
MEXICAN THEATRES RALLY
AGAINST LOCAL LAW
A controversial local law in Mexico's third
largest city stipulating that adults are forbidden
from attending kid pics when unaccompanied
by a minor has enraged the metropolis' cinema
operators. Exhibitors in Monterrey have met
with city officials in an attempt to curb the legislation,
which authorities say was passed to
help protect children from potential sexual
offenders in theatres. Problematic to theatre
owners, however, is
the wide array of releases
that have been designated as children's films,
including "Shrek" and "Dr. Dolittle 2," which
have drawn interest from both general and family
audiences in other territories. A spokesperson
for the Organizacion Ramirez, one of
Mexico's largest theatrical circuits, estimates
that the company lost upwards of 100,000
pesos (US$10,900) during just a few weeks of
the summer season as a result of the law.
COURT RULES FOR MIRAMAX
Germany-based distributor Scotia International's
request for an injunction against
AFMA arbitration filed by New York Citybased
Miramax Films has been rejected by a
Los Angeles Superior Court. The ongoing
argument between the two companies
began last April, when Miramax submitted a
complaint to the AFMA claiming that the
Teutonic distributor failed to pay the studio
for a slate of films, including "Holy Smoke,"
"Rounders" and "My Life So Far."
Scotia had countersued Miramax for
breach of contract and conducting business
in An unfair manner. The suit, which sought
millions of dollars in compensatory damages
and asked that the court halt AFMA arbitration,
had also been denied.

CORPORATE REPORT CARD
The continued success of "Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon" at the box office couldn't
keep Columbia Pictures parent Sony out of the
red, as the conglomerate reported a net loss of
$242.1 million for the first quarter of its new
fiscal year. That marks a 67 percent improvement
over the comparable quarter last year,
however, when losses were $745.7 million.
Revenues rose 4.6 percent in the quarter ending
in June to $13.2 billion from $12.6 billion
in the same timeframe a year ago. Holiday
holdovers "Tiger" and "Vertical Limit" contributed
to Sony Pictures Entertainment's bottom
line, driving revenue to $1.1 billion, up
25 percent from $880 million in 2000.
Operating losses at the unit were cut in half to
$21.8 million from $45 million.
Reporting its second-quarter financials for
the period ending in June, MGM likewise had
disappointing news. After a first quarter fueled
by the box-office success of "Hannibal," net
income for the studio was $61.3 million in
the red, or 26 cents per share, compared with
$6.3 million in the black, or three cents, last
year. Revenues sagged slightly to $274.9 million
from $294.5 million in the comparable
frame a year ago. Feature film sales rose
almost 10 percent to $230.6 million from
$253.7 million in 2000.
Paramount parent Viacom edged slightly
into the plus column with second-quarter net
earnings of $1 6.7 million. Last year in the quarter
ending in June, net losses were $495.6 million,
a figure that includes charges of nearly
$700 million related to its merger with CBS.
Revenues this year rose 1 8 percent to $5.7 billion,
compared with $4.9 billion in 2000. In
the conglomerate's entertainment division,
which includes Paramount, cash flow rose 15
percent to $1 32 million, and revenues showed
a slight three percent increase to $773 million.
Aided partly by the strong performance of
"The Mummy Returns," Vivendi Universal
reported a second-quarter cash flow of $1.1
billion, up over 50 percent from $702 million
in the same timeframe last year, calculated on
a pro forma basis. Revenues rose 14 percent
to $5.7 billion from $5 billion in 2000. Film
and television cash flow was $273 million, up
84 percent from $149 million a year ago, and
the division's revenue rose eight percent to
$1 .95 billion from $1 .8 billion last year.
AOL Time Warner, the parent company of
both Warner Bros, and New Line, reported a
net loss of $734 million for the quarter ending
in June, down 21 percent from a pro forma
loss of $927 million during the second quarter
last year. Revenues inched up three percent
to $9.2 billion from $8.9 billion in 2000.

NORTHERN EXPOSURE
Canadian News Notes by Shlomo Schwartzberg
DRIVE-IN EXTRA: NEW OZONER DOCKS IN TORONTO
Filmgoers won't have to leave Toronto if they want to see a drive-in movie
this summer. A brand-new drive-in, situated on Lake Ontario in downtown
Toronto, opened in mid-)une as part of the six-year-old Docks Waterfront
Entertainment Complex.
The drive-in was the brainchild of Jerry Sprackman, who told BOXOFFICE
that he got the idea for it on last year's Canada Day weekend, when he and
his family could not get to the Beach part of the city to see fireworks because
the police weren't allowing any more cars through to the area.
Disappointed, as they returned to the Docks, he suddenly noticed "all
these people sitting on the golf course at 10 p.m. watching the fireworks. [I
realized the Docks] was a perfect site for a drive-in."
Not incidentally, the drive-in could help entice new patrons who would
then explore the rest of the Docks, which offers everything from jousting tournaments
to mini-golf to billiards to raves.
Sprackman, who's long been involved in real estate, nevertheless had trouble
getting investors interested in the drive-in project, even though he received
positive feedback about the idea. So he decided to do it himself. He did
research, found a screen in Quebec that was coming — down and had it refurbished.
The drive-in's screen is 50 feet by 100 feet "the largest in Canada,"
according to Sprackman—and is complemented by good sound, he asserts.
The Docks shows first-run films, with one new movie opening each week
and the previous opener moving to the second slot in the program. The
movies are generally Adult Accompaniment-rated films, such as "Scary
Movie 2," "Final Fantasy" and "Bridget Jones's Diary," along with the occasional
family flick such as "Shrek." Restricted films aren't on the bill as it
would keep teenagers, the Docks' core audience, out of screenings. Brian
Allen, who books films for a half-dozen drive-ins in Ontario, does so for the
Docks, too.
Children under 12 get in free, seniors pay half-price and Tuesdays are halfprice.
And while the admission cost is just under the city's top ticket price of
C$1 2.50 (US$8.37) at chain cinemas, the Docks' C$12 (US$8) total is for two
first-run movies, though Sprackman has noticed that 50 percent of his patrons
don't stay for the second film, which comes on at 11:15 p.m. Though admission
is per person and not per carload, as traditionally charged, Sprackman
considers the Docks drive-in a big saving overall when the parking costs of
C$15 (US$10) one usually pays to go to an indoor theatre are factored in.
And excepting Saturday nights, when it costs an additional C$12 (US$8)
to go to the Docks' other offerings, admission to the drive-in gets you into
everything at the entertainment complex.
Snack bar prices are 20 percent cheaper than at Famous Players or
Cineplex, adds Sprackman, and some of the foodstuffs, such as hamburgers,
are not offered at the chain cinemas.
There is a capacity of 500 cars and patrons can also pay to sit on the
Docks' sun deck, which seats 400, if they don't want to watch from a car.
That option "hasn't caught on yet, but I it will," he says.
Sprackman anticipates that as the drive-in—which, optimistically, considering
the Canadian climate, he hopes to keep open through December and
reopen in February—catches on with the public, they will see that the Docks
is not the "teenage nightclub" it is now known as. And the Docks' total weekly
attendance, which he pegs at 35,000-40,000, can only rise. He's also offering
the public something they want, he says, pointing out that the 400 Drivein,
Toronto's last drive-in, which Famous Players closed in order to build its
successful Coliseum multiplex, met a need. "They took it away from the publit;
the public didn't want it to go."
Now they have it ba< k. "It's very relaxing and really picturesque |on Lake
Ontario], You don't even know you're in the city. I think the people arc real
ly enjoying it."
FOLDED SQUARE
Another Cineplex Odeon multiplex has
closed in Toronto. The 15-year-old Canada
Square eight-screen complex in midtown
Toronto closed in mid-July after Cineplex
failed to convince the landlord to lower the
rent. Canada Square, which used to be one
of the jewels in Cineplex's crown, has suffered
in the wake of Famous Players' opening
of a popular SilverCity, with stadium
seating, just a block away. But its closing is
also indicative of the shakeout at Cineplex
since its parent company, Loews Cineplex,
filed for bankruptcy protection last fall, followed
by Toronto businessman Gerry
Schwartz's bid to buy Loews Cineplex, an
offer that is expected to be approved this
fall. The nearby Cineplex two-screen York
is expected to close shortly as well, leaving
Cineplex with just two multiplexes in
Toronto's main core: the 12-screen Varsity
and the Carlton nine-screen art-house.
Allen Karp, chairman and CEO of Cineplex
Odeon, told BOXOFFICE that "at this time,
nothing else is scheduled to close." In
response to suggestions that the cinema
closings could adversely affect Cineplex's
bookings of films from the studios, Karp
said, "We do not think our closings will
have any impact on our continuing to
exhibit films from the major studios as we
have in the past."
AMC MATCHES RIVALS' TICKET HIKES
AMC Theatres has raised its ticket price
to C$12.50, or C$10.50 if patrons use a
value card (US $8.37 or $7 with the value
card), which matches Famous' and Cineplex's
top ticket price.
MACEROLA TO CHAIR TELEFILM
Francois Macerola, former executive
director of Telefilm Canada, has been
named Telefilm's chairman of the board.
Johanne St. Arnauld has been named acting
executive director while the funding organization

European News Notes by Francesca Dinglasan
LEAD STORY: GAUMONT TAKES MERGER PATHE
PARIS—As has been predicted by industry observers, two
of France's major theatrical chains are consolidating their
respective interests into one 700-screen megacircuit. The exhibition
division of the country's second largest circuit Gaumont
and the third biggest chain Pathe, owned respectively by brothers
Nicholas and Jerome Seydoux. plan to merge under their
existing Europalaces joint venture. Terms of the newly restructured
company, which will be headed by Pathe vice president
Eduardo Malone, call for a 66-34 split in favor of Pathe.
Europalaces ambitiously plans to bow a minimum of 20 new
plexes in the near future.
The merger, however, came as unwelcome news to the
majority of Gaumont employees, whose unions have been
rejecting corporate consolidation proposals in an effort to project
jobs (see EUROVIEWS, July 2001). After Gaumont shareholders
officially approved the Europalaces deal, a one-day
strike was staged on the first day of France's annual Fete du
Cinema promotion (see below), effectively shutting down 16 of
the circuit's 30 theatres in the country. The protest lasted only
for a 24-hour period as Gaumont executives agreed to meet
with union representatives, who have vowed to return to the
picket line if a favorable agreement is not been reached.
ADMISSIONS FALL AT FRENCH FEST
PARIS—Fete du Cinema, an annual state-subsidized event in
France designed to increase moviegoing. recorded a little over
three million admissions this year—a drop of more than 18 percent
compared with 2000 figures. Held nationwide, the three-day
festival offers cinema patrons the opportunity to see as many
movies as they wish at a cost of 10 francs (US$1.30) per film in
exchange for purchasing one full-price ticket. According to the
country's exhibition trade association Federation National des
Cinemas, the downturn in attendance can be partly blamed on a
weaker slate of films in release compared to a year ago as well as
exceptionally nice weather, which the French stayed out-of-doors
to enjoy. Also certain to have affected turnstile turns during the
festival was a labor strike held by employees of the territory's second
largest chain Gaumont (see Lead Story).
Despite the disappointing returns from the Fete du Cinema.
French movie theatres have been otherwise experiencing a boom
period in admissions. The country's National Cinema Center recently
reported that ticket sales soared to nearly 97 million during firsthalf
2001. a 10 percent rise compared with the same period a year
ago. Profiting from this upswing in moviegoing were local films,
which garnered an estimated 51 percent of the market in comparison
to a little over 34 percent in first-half 2000. Top box-office performers
include Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amelie From Montmartre."
with six million admissions and counting, and Francis Veber's "Le
Placard," which attracted 5.2 million moviegoers.
BOOTING UP BOX-OFFICE FIGURES
ROME—Also showing a healthy appetite for movies in firsthalf
2001 are residents of the Boot, with ticket sales at Italian
moviehouses climbing by nearly 1 1 percent to 42 million during
the six-month period, according to local industry analyst Cinetel.
Box-office results in the country during the timeframe paralleled
the increase in admissions, also growing by just under 1 1 percent
in comparison to a year ago. Partly accounting for this upsurge
in moviegoing, which pushed box-office receipts up to almost 454
billion lira (US$200 million), is a renewed interest in local fare,
with Italian productions taking a 22 percent share of the market
from January to June, up by 1 1 percent (notice a pattern?) over
1
the same timeframe in 2000.
CINEMAXX SEES SLOW FIRST HALF
BERLIN—Bucking the trend and undergoing a rather difficult
first-half 2001 is German exhibitor Cinemaxx, which recorded losses
of DM52.3 million (US$22 million) during the six months. The
company has attributed its present financial difficulties to the costs
associated with mass restructuring, including a move to concentrate
on its domestic business and sale of all foreign interests. Cinemaxx
declared in a statement issued before a meeting of its shareholders
that red ink was expected "as a result of the radical reorganization
measures that will be required this year since the balance sheet will
once again have to absorb considerable one-off expenditure on the
streamlining of foreign operations." Following the release of the!
exhibitor's first-half financial report, Cinemaxx CFO Marius
Schwarz announced that he would step down from his post.
FILM PROMO BODY FORMED IN UK
LONDON—UK-based funding body The Film Council and
distribution/exhibition affiliate All Industry Marketing for
Cinema (AIM) have revealed plans to launch a new organization
that aims to "secure strategic partners for the promotion of cinemagoing
throughout the territory" as well as "develop innovative
marketing initiatives to boost audiences across the board."
Dubbed Cinema Marketing Agency, the new outfit will be funded
equally by The Film council and AIM, with the yearly budget
for overhead set at £200.000 (US$141,000). Additional financial
support to cover the association's proposals is expected to be
raised through sponsorships from the commercial sector. AIM
chairman Peter Dobson remarked about the formation of the
Cinema Marketing Agency, "We believe that the CMA is a fresh
and proactive solution to our perennial concern of how to
increase and broaden the audience."
FILM CERTIFICATION TURNS SUGGESTIVE
LONDON—UK censor The British Board of Film
Classification has proposed introducing a PG- 12 certificate in the
territory. The state body, which is currently discussing the proposition
with local film exhibitors, distributors and authorities, has
recommended adjusting the current 12-and-under age restriction
to function more like the MPAA's PG-13 rating in that it serve as
an advisory, rather than mandatory, certification. Under current
regulation, British moviehouses can be shutdown if children
under 12, even if accompanied by an adult, are found to be
watching a film with a 12 certificate.

PACIFIC OVERTURES
Notes From the Pacific Rim by Francesca Dinglasan
LEAD STORY: VILLAGE ROADSHOW
PARTS WITH FRENCH CIRCUIT
MELBOURNE—Australian film industry giant Village Roadshow
continues to divest itself of foreign interests, having recently sold its
circuit in France to local exhibitor Pathe. In exchange for AUSS60
million (US$31 million), the Gallic company has obtained VR's three
site, 18-screen chain as well as the Oz-based exhibitor's rights to
future sites within the territory. According to industry insiders, VR's
net earning from the sale totaled approximately AUSS40 million
(USS20.6 million), with the remaining AUSS20 million (US$10.3 million)
being applied to company debt.
The Aussie conglomerate, however, is spending just as fast as it's
earning, having also recently paid AUSS25 million (US$12.9 million)
to obtain full ownership of two cineplexes in Greece. VR, which originally
held a 50 percent stake in a 10-screen site in Maroussi and a
nine-screener in Salonica, purchased the remaining 50 percent from
its partner in the territory and purchaser of its French holdings Pathe.
France is the fifth territory to be exited by the Australian exhibitor.
Earlier this year. VR withdrew from the markets of Switzerland and
Hungary and sold off its holdings in Germany and Hong Kong last
year. The company currently has operations in 15 countries worldwide
but aims to trim out another five to seven foreign territories.
BOX OFFICE MOVES UP DOWN UNDER
SYDNEY—Aussies headed to their local moviehouses during
the first half of 2001, with box-office earnings in Oz increasing
by nine percent to AUSS396 million (US$204 million) compared
with the same timeframe a year ago. Accounting for the
lion's share of the ticket sales were Hollywood products, including
"The Mummy Returns," "Miss Congeniality" "Pearl
Harbor" and "Moulin Rouge," which was filmed locally at Fox
Studios in Sydney. Industry analysts expect the Australian box
office to also show improvements over the previous year in the
second half of the year, due to last year's cinema attendance
drop attributed to the Olympic Games and a newly introduced
goods-and-services tax. Also sure to help Down Under ticket
sales during the upcoming six-month period is the slate of films
scheduled for release, including "Shrek," "Bridget Jones's
Diary," "Jurassic Park III" and "A.I."
KOREANS SEEK OUT LOCAL FILMS
SEOUL—The first six months of 2001 have proven to be a
profitable time for local films in their respective territories. In
addition to the French and Italians flocking to domestic features
(see El ROVIKWS. p. 13S). Koreans have demonstrated a notably
increased appetite for local products. According to results
released by the Korean Film Commission, local pics took an
approximate 40 percent share of the market, jumping by
14 percent
compared with first-half 2000. The study also reveals that
from January to June. 27 Korean features drew just over 5.3 million
moviegoers, with Kuan Kyung Taek's "I riend" leading the
charge. The drama about childhood friends who join enemv gangs
accounted for 2.4 million admissions in Seoul, making the film
the highest grossing domestic feature in the territory's history, In
addition to the strength of Korean products in release during the
timeframe, industry observers credit a proliferation in modern
multiplex construction and an increase in film marketing
for the upswing in attendance to local films.
SOUTH KOREAN EXHIB ENTERS DISTRIBUTION/
PRODUCTION ARENA
SEOUL—Tong Yang Confectionery, parent company to
South Korea's largest exhibition chain Megabox Cineplex.
is looking to expand its presence in the filmmaking community
by obtaining film studio Tube Entertainment. In
addition to producing local features. Tube is one of the territory's
leading distributors, having recently rolled out such
Hollywood pics as the Mel Gibson starrer "What Women
Want" across Korean screens. The acquisition, made
through Tong Yong partner company Mediaplex. is just one
of several filmmaking deals reached by the corporation in
recent months. Mediaplex also has entered an agreement
with Serom Entertainment in which approximately $6.5 million
will be invested in the production of about 40 films
over the next five years.
BOMB EXPLODES IN PAKISTAN CINEMA
KARACHI, PAKISTAN A crowded moviehouse was the
target of a terrorist bombing in southern Pakistan late last June,
resulting in the death of at least one person and the injury of 14

THEATRES IN INDIA DRAWING MUSLIM PROTEST
NEW DELHI— Muslims in
India are protesting the release of
"Gadar," a film set in the northern part of the territory during the
1940s, when independence was won from British sovereignty and
riots ran rampant between Hindus and Muslims. Protestors say
their disapproval of the film stems from what they call its "objectionable
scenes and dialogue." and though picketers have been
vocal at cinemas screening the film, there have been no injuries or
major property damage reported. The objection to the movie has
not hurt its performance at the box office, however, with "Gadar"
accounting for well over half of movie tickets sold

Running time: 97 min.
A disturbing coming-of-age story set
in the soul-killing nowhere of American
suburbia, director Michael Cuesta's feature
debut "L.I.E." refuses to tie its ideas
about human nature into
a neat little bundle for the
convenience of viewers.
But while this dark, gaythemed
drama certainly
isn't for everyone, its
complex portrayal of
taboo relationships is sure
to provoke a reaction
from those willing to take
the journey.
Trie title refers to the busy
Long Island Expressway,
which 1 5-year-old protagonist
Howie Blitzer (convincing
newcomer Paul
Franklin Dano) has come
to view as a metaphor for
life's dangers ever since
his mother died in a car accident on it.
Alienated from his insensitive businessman
father (Bruce Altman), Howie gets
involved in a series of minor burglaries
with a gang of troubled boys led by Gary
(Billy Kay), a seductive troublemaker
from the wrong side of the tracks. Then
the theft of a pair of collector's pistols
puts Howie on a collision course with
Big John Harrigan (Brian Cox), an aging
ex-Marine infamous for his liaisons with
young men in the area.
Cuesta (who co-wrote the script with
Stephen M. Ryder and Gerald Cuesta)
initially seems to be setting up Big John
as the predatory villain of the piece, but
the relationship that develops between
Howie and the older man turns out to

Running time: 105 min.
A few funky psychedelic drug scenes
and snapshots of the underbelly of Prague
are injected into this hopeless tale called
"Angel Exit." Our leading man, Mikes (Jan
Cechticky), tries in vain to escape his drugladen
life but quickly gets sucked back in
after returning from a trip to South Africa,
where he discovers the recipe for a new
chemical drug.
The plot drudges on. with a strained
relationship between Mikes and a relatively
nice girl next door who offers him a semblance
of a normal, settled-down life. At
no great loss to her. Mikes refuses, preferring
his wild Kaja (Klara Issova) and their
love/envy/pain-filled chemistry that created
their wonder drug. The young Mikes
portrays a manly man's hero: With two
girls vying for his love, he bounces between
them, living a life little deeper than drugs
and sex.
That the film is low-budget and shot
mostly with a hand-held camera is obvious,
but it seems appropriate for the subject
matter. The uninspired cinematography
has brief respite in a batch of WOWcolored,
drug-happy scenes. There are a
few interesting moments that offer a
glimpse into the relationship between
drug-dealer and buyer, and into the pillaged

AMELIE
Stalling Audrey Tatou, Mathieu

Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Written by Guillaume
Laurant and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Produced
by Claudie Ossard. A Miramax release.
Comedy. French-language; subtitled. Not yet
rated. Running time: 121 min.
Having deemed "Amelie" an insubstantial
trifle not suitable for his official selection,
Cannes programmer Gilles Jacob was
eating crow at this year's festival. In a
move that upstaged Jacob, director Jean-
Pierre Jeunet ("Delicatessen") released his
film in France shortly before the festival to
rapturous reviews and enthusiastic crowds.
One of the most successful homegrown
products ever released in France, "Amelie"
is poised to take on the U.S., where it is
sure to get a strong push from Miramax
Zoe.
Audrey Tatou in Miramax's "Amelie."
(Jamel Debbouze) forge a truce with his
misanthropic boss (Urbain Cancellier).
But as for her own life, Amelie is reluctant
to take risks, until she finds a match in an
equally quirky young man (Mathieu
Kassovitz) whose hobby is collecting discarded
pictures from photo booths.

What sets "Amelie" apart from other
magical realist fables is that Jeunet has created
such an inviting and fully realized
world, part dreamscape and part reality. In
the hands of cinematographer Bruno
Delbonnel and production designer Aline
Bonetto, Jeunet's Paris teems with life.
Enhanced with digital color and judiciously
placed visual effects, it's a Paris of the
imagination peopled with unique and
unforgettable characters. Not the least of
these is Amelie herself, who is embodied
by the radiant Tatou in a star-making performance.

THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE

CANNES REVIEWS
Starring Hilly Boh Thornton, Frances
McDormand, James Gandolfini and
Michael Badalucco. Directed hy Joel Coen.
Written hy Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.
Produced hy Ethan Coen. A ISA release.
Black comedyIFilm noir. Not yet rated.
muwing time: 1 16 min.
It's a shame that USA Films advised
Joel and Ethan Coen not to refer to "The
Man Who Wasn't There" as a film noir for
fear of jeopardizing its box-office
prospects, their latest work is, in fact, a
worthy and exquisitely beautiful heir to the
noir tradition, compelling even as it falls
short of the dramatic tension inherent in
and requisite to the genre.
Whether or not the Coen brothers are
inclined to admit it, "The Man Who
Wasn't There" conjures up memories of
Cain and Hitchcock, referencing the former
in its 1940s-set plot and themes and
the latter in its Santa Rosa ("Shadow of a
Doubt") location. Billy Bob Thornton
plays title character, Ed Crane, a barber all
but invisible to those around him. His wife
Doris (Frances McDormand) ignores him;
her brother Frank (Michael Badalucco),
Ed's partner at the barber shop, chatters
incessantly; and talkative customer
Creighton Tolliver (Jon Polito) doesn't
even remember his face. When Tolliver
offers Ed a partnership in a dry cleaning
business in exchange for $10,000, Ed
decides to take a chance and blackmails a
local heavy named Big Dave (James
Gandolfini). whose affair with Doris Ed
has quietly tolerated.
Big Dave ponies up with the cash to the
anonymous blackmailer, but when he discovers
Ed is responsible, the consequences
are disastrous for Dave and the blame falls
on Doris. It's a basic tenet of noir that the
hero's actions, intentionally or not. cause
an unraveling of events, and they do here.
Despite Ed's elTorts to hire a top lawyer
(Tony Shalhoub) to defend his wife, fatal
forces have been set in motion and Ed can
do nothing to stop them.
Perhaps Ed's predicament would feel
more poignant were it not for the jaded
detachment with which his character is
depicted \s portrayed by Thornton. Ed
Crane wanders disafl'ectcdly through life,
somehow unencumbered by the dissolution
of his world He seems oddly unruffled
hv the chaotic events he has set into
motion; as a consequence, so do we. That
sense n\' detachment is underscored by
Fhomton's ubiquitous voiceover narration;
rather than illuminating character
motivation, it
feels curiously dislocating.

STORYTELLING
••*
Starring Selma Blair, Paul Giamatti,
John Goodman and Julie llagerty. Directed
and written hy Todd Solondz. Produced hy
Ted Hope and Christine Vachon. A Fine
Line release. Black comedy. Sot yet rated.
Running time: fit! min.
No one can skewer suburbia quite like
writer/director Todd Solondz. In his last
two features. "Welcome to the Dollhouse"
and "Happiness." Solondz demonstrated an
unparalleled flair for peeling the seemingly
placid exterior off of American families
and revealing the dysfunction, at once laceratingly
funny and deeply tragic,
that lies
beneath. Rife with his characteristic black
humor, "Storytelling" is just as disturbing
as his previous outings, but it's a less cohesive
and finally less satisfying piece.
Part of the trouble with "Storytelling" is
its lopsided structure. Divided unevenly
into two unrelated sections, "Fiction" and
"Non-Fiction." the film suffers by frontloading
its strongest material first. The second,
comparatively weaker portion is much
longer, rendering the final product unwieldy.
Set on a university campus, "Fiction"
concerns college student Vi (Selma Blair),
who wants desperately to impress her emotionally
aloof, fiercely intimidating professor,
Mr. Scott (Robert Wisdom). Over the
objections of her cerebral palsy-afflicted
boyfriend Marcus (Leo Fitzpatrick). Vi
tries to curry favor with Scott, a Pulitzer
prize-winning African-American writer,
resulting in a consensual sexual encounter
that leaves Vi feeling psychologically violated.
The Vi-Scott sex scene is filmed with
such brutal, unrelenting directness that it's
akin to watching a fatal traffic accident:
It's horrifying yet at the same time fascinating;
it's impossible not to look and all
but impossible to erase from the memory.
It
also poses some problems for the film's
rating. Solondz has vowed not to excise the
controversial scene but plans instead to
cover up a portion of the frame with a box,
as in the infamous orgy in "Eyes Wide Shut."
"Non-Fiction" touches on some of the
same issues as "Fiction," including racial
prejudice, political correctness and social
stereotypes, but with the exception of a
few scenes—the second section is much less
effective. It centers on Toby Oxman (Paul
Giamatti), an aspiring documentary filmmaker
shooting a film on today's disaffected
teens. Toby's focus is the delinquent suburban
youth Scooby Livingston (Mark
Webber), a constant source of disappointment
to his nouveau-riche parents (John
Goodman and Julie Hagerty). Various tensions
simmer in the Livingston household,
both between parents and children and
between the underappreciated Salvadoran
maul (Lupe ( mtiveros) and her employers
"Storytelling" presents ., host of interesting
characters and intriguing elements
to mine, but Solondz doesn't exploit the
material to its potential, leaving the
impression that in the end he just runs out

MULHOLLAND DRIVE ****i/2

Hairing and Justin Theroux. Directed and
written hy David Lynch. Produced hy Mary
Sweeney, Alain Sarde, Seal Edelstein,
Michael Polaire and Tony Krantz. A
Universal Focus release. Drama. Not yet
rated. Running time: 146 min.
"Mulholland Drive," which earned the
directing prize at Cannes, represents a
return to vintage Lynch territory—a realm
of eccentric and dangerous characters,
labyrinthine storylines and mysterious
symbols reminiscent of "Blue Velvet" and
"Twin Peaks." And while "Mulholland
Drive" will frustrate anyone who tries to
deconstruct its plot, it nevertheless stands
as one of the director's best works in
years. Not that "The Straight Story" wasn't
a gem; it's just that here Lynch is
working on a much broader canvas and
filling it with his trademark bold, warped
sensibility.
For a film that runs nearly two-and-ahalf
hours, "Mulholland Drive" never
feels long. Beginning with seemingly separate
storylines. Lynch introduces his characters
only to weave their fates together.
There's Rita (Laura Elena Harring), a gorgeous,
dark-haired femme fatale who's the
sole survivor of a car accident. Rita has no
recollection of her identity but seems to
know she is in jeopardy and stumbles to
find a safe haven in an unoccupied Los
Angeles apartment.
Meanwhile, perky blonde ingenue Betty
(Naomi Watts) is headed for the same
apartment, which belongs to her vacationing
aunt. Having journeyed to Hollywood
to launch her acting career. Betty is surprised
to find a stranger in
—
her abode but
instantly drawn to the mysterious Rita,
and the two women forge an unlikely
bond. Rita and Betty's encounter is just
one of several scenes that play against convention.
Elsewhere, Adam Kesher (Justin
Theroux). the hot young movie director du
jour, is in pre-production on a picture but
finds himself at the mercy of two demanding
financiers who tell him who to cast in
his new film. The issue of creative freedom
obviouslj dear to Lynch is effectively
addressed as Kesher explodes at
the
studio and then suffers devastating personal
setbacks.
Eventually Betty, Rita and Adam's
stories intersect, but not before some very
bizarre things happen. The film's last segment

Director Jacques Rivette's latest film is
lighter and more accessible than his previous
works, like the masterful "La Belle

"Savage Souls" continues director Raul
Ruiz's cinematic investigation of enigmatic
identity. In Provence, France, in 1945, a
group of old women gathered for a funeral
ask Therese, the eldest of the group,
about her past. Flashbacks begin in 1882,
when young Therese (Laetitia Casta)
elopes with her boyfriend Firmin (Frederic
Diefenthal) and settles in town. Therese
arranges a meeting with Madame Numance
(Arielle Dombasle. Ruiz's "Time Regained")
who is well-known for her generosity.
Therese and Madame Numance become
extremely close, with Madame Numance
treating Therese like a daughter, and
Firmin capitalizes this bond when he tries
to involve Madame Numance and her
devoted husband (John Malkovich) in a
suspicious financial scheme.
In her first leading role, supermodel Casta
persuasively conveys Therese's untamed
nature. Throughout the film, the relationship
of Therese and Madame Numance has
an intriguing ambiguity. Their motivations
are never fully explained, giving Ruiz's film
a continual sense of mystery and multiple
truths. Is Therese a conniving manipulator
or does she have genuine affection for
Madame Numance? How far will the
Numances take their love of giving?
Dombasile has a charismatic presence and
the film significantly sutlers when she or the
always-colorful Malkovich are off screen.
Without the interaction with Madame
Numance. "Savage Souls" becomes an ordinary
combination of infidelity and revenge.

Unlike many previous films from
Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira
which were based on classical literary
works. "I'm Going Home" depicts contemporary
problems facing an aging actor.
Michel Piccoli, the star of decades of
European masterworks like Jean-Luc
Godard's "Contempt" (1963) and Jacques
Rivette's "La Belle Noiseuse" ( 1991 ). portrays
Gilbert Valence, a celebrated French
thespian. The film begins on Gilbert performing
the lead role in Ionesco's "Enter
the King" (among his fellow actors is an
elegant Catherine Deneuve), but as he
leases the stage Gilbert is told by his friend
and agent ( Antoine Chappey) that his wife,
daughter and son-in-law have been killed
in a car crash.
—
Gilbert adjusts to the tragedy by spending
time with his beloved grandson and
continuing his work in the theatre, including
a role as Prospero in Shakespeare's
"The Tempest." He becomes comfortable
with his life of solitude. His agent offers
him the major part in a TV film dominated
by sex and violence; wanting to maintain
his standards. Gilbert turns down the
part. He accepts a role in an English-language
film version of Joyce's "Ulysses"
offered by an American director (John
Malkovich in a zesty supporting role). It
soon becomes apparent that Gilbert's stage
productions reflect his life.
Piccoli gives a superb performance full
of deep feeling. Whatever happens to
Gilbert, life remains a continual adventure
with further acting challenges.
De Oliveira suffuses his wise and captivating
film with a playful humor.
Though the nighttime streets are dangerous,
de Oliveira visualizes Paris as an
amusement park with festive lights and
music. Like his lead character. Manoel de

Girardot and Benoit Magimel Directed and
written by Michael Haneke. Produced by
Michael Katz and Won Crenn. No distributor
set. Drama. French-language; subtitled.
Not vet rated. Running time: 130 win.
Erika (Isabelle Huppert) teaches piano
at a Vienna conservatory and lives with her
mother (Annie Girardot) in a relationship
that alternates between affection and physical
violence. "We're a hot-blooded family,"
the mother says after being pushed
against the wall by her daughter. Erika's
father is in a mental institution, which
eventually seems like the appropriate place
for his daughter. Erika is stern, demanding
and uncompromising—and the directorial
style of Michael Haneke, who also wrote
the screenplay, is as chilly as his heroine.
Erika has a hidden private life that
includes hard-core pornography, voyeurism
and self-mutilation. Walter ( Benoit Magimel),
one of Erika's students, attempts to seduce
her; Erika agrees to a relationship, but on
her terms, which are anything but conventional.
She alternately encourages and
then withdraws from Walter.
Initially, the part of Erika seems well
suited to Huppert s cool personality. Huppert
is fearless and uncompromising in depicting
Erika's increasingly bizarre behavior that
includes throwing up during a sexual
encounter with Walter. But as her actions
become more absurd and disturbed, including
a particularly sadistic act toward a
female student, even an actress of Huppert 's
considerable talent cannot make the character
and her relationships believable.

MY VOYAGE TO ITALY
Narrated by Martin Scorsese. Directed by

Suso D'Amico Cecchi. Raffaele Donato and
Kent Jones. Produced by Barbara De Fina,
Giuliana Del Punta and Bruno Restuccia. No
distributor set. Documentary. Not yet rated.
Running time: 243 min.
In this remarkable documentary,
acclaimed director Martin Scorsese, known
for his passionate love of film, discusses the
history of Italian cinema. Along with providing
perceptive insights, Scorsese speaks
about the personal influences Italian films
have had on him throughout his life, making
this "Voyage" particularly fascinating.
His enjoyment is infectious.
Scorsese's family is of Sicilian descent.
In the late 1940s he was first introduced to
the films of Italy by subtitled movies on a
16-inch television. Though his family was
watching bad, overly dark prints, everything
essential came through.
Scorsese speaks about the powerful
effects of the Italian documentary-like neorealist
films like Rossellini's "Rome, Open
City." His grandparents wept as they saw the
hardships of the country they left behind.
At the other extreme from neorealism were
the Roman epics like "Fabiola." These costumed
historical films inspired the young
Scorsese to draw sketches from imaginary
epics that he calls his first storyboards.
Putting this "Voyage" at a level above
the usual documentary on film history is
the inclusion of extensive scenes from
many of the selected films, allowing
Scorsese to give penetrating comments on
the story arc, themes and the directors'
styles, discussing the complete film rather
that just a selected clip.
Scorsese also covers Vittorio De Sica's
evolution from being the Italian Cary
Grant to the director who "made the camera
disappear" with the "powerful simplicity"
of "The Bicycle Thief" and "Umberto
D." Luchino Visconti is described as a
count and a communist with an operatic
sense of drama. Scorsese says that the
Italian film closest to his own life is
Federico Fellini's 1953 "I Vitelloni"; this
story of immature young men in a small
town inspired Scorsese's own early masterpiece
"Mean Streets." The dramatic immediacy
of Fellini's "spiritual epic" "La
Dolce Vita" is contrasted with the poetic
isolation of Antonioni's "L'Avvenlura"
and "Eclipse."
Scorsese concludes this outstanding
love of cinema."

Yosuke that she secretes water when experiencing
pleasure. The aimless Yosuke
finds himself energized by the free-spirited
Saeko.

on the street. A young woman,
Shiang-Chi (Chen Shiang-Chyi), wants to
buy Hsiao Kang's own wristwatch that
displays two time zones, as she's just
about to travel to Paris. Later, remembering
Shiang-Chi, Hsiao Kang feels drawn
to her, and in some uniquely comic scenes
he tries to reset every clock to Paris time.
In noisy Paris, Shiang-Chi is just as
lonely as the watch seller in Taipei. Both
are mysteriously connected. With little dialogue,
the actors must rely on facial expressions
to reveal the depth of their characters'
longing for personal contact.
Tsai's directorial style mainly involves
long takes set in cramped indoor spaces
that emphasize the characters' isolation.
Tsai's continual visual inventiveness is

homage to two bank robbers in 1960s
Argentina smolders and sweats amidst
some sensational violence and fiery sex

Eduardo Sbaraglia plays Nene (which
translates to an affectionate term for a toddler),
a restless, angry ex-con who meets
the equally troubled Angel (Eduardo
Noriega) in a men's public bathroom
where the two have a quickie liaison.
Despite Angel's stark declaration that he
hears voices. Nene is smitten and the two
become so inseparable they are dubbed
"The Twins." They are hired to participate
in a hit on an armored bank car, but
when the heist goes sour and bodies pile
up, the twins and accomplice Cuervo
(Pablo Echarri) must flee to Uruguay and
into hiding. With the men's volatile and
very different temperaments, it isn't long
before more trouble ensues.
Pineyro and screenwriter Mareelo
Figueras pile on the atmosphere, from a cool
jazzy score to the twins' very hip '60s dark
suits complete with skinny ties and narrow
shoes,
reflecting a South American version
of the "angry young man" generation.
The fierce intensity between Nene and
Angel suggests a cross between the defiantly
arrogant murderers Leopold and
Loeb and the hopeless futility of "In Cold
Blood's" killers Perry Smith and Dick
Hickock. which make the men doomed
from the beginning.
Although clearly caught up in his characters'
chemistry and situation, Pineyro
could easily lose 40 minutes to streamline
this powerful, kinetic tale of young hooligans
running wild.

Bob (played by the director/writer) are two

REVIEWS
of the comic is about to begin shooting
and that they're being slandered on the
Internet, they set out for Hollywood to
sabotage the production, or at least grab
the cash to which they're entitled. They
run into plenty of adventures and cameos
as they hitchhike their way across the
country, including Carrie Fisher as a nun,
before finally arriving in L.A. to wreak
havoc on the set of the film.
Those familiar with Smith's work will
recognize Jay and Silent Bob as bit players
dispensing comic relief in his other films.
Here, they prove they're best in small
doses. Mewes provides the rare amusing
moment, his machine-gun mouth spewing
out one idiotically misogynist or homophobic
sentiment after another, his
unabashedly adolescent barbs occasionally
eliciting a guilty laugh. But "Jay and Silent

and some of them will stick. Smith should
take a lesson from Silent Bob: sometimes
less is more.

Mia (Anne Hathaway of TV's "Get

who suddenly discovers that she's heir to
the throne of "Genovia," a tiny European

into a swan, with the help of
Elizondo's chauffeur. The queen, a contemporary
Henrietta Higgins, is played by
none other than Julie Andrews.

Marshall's sharpest notes come from
these sly references, including naming a
secondary character "Puttanesca" (which
is the Italian word for Julia Roberts's

loudmouthed best friend ("Scream 3's"
Heather Matarazzo) has her own cable

is ham-handed and by-the-numbers. Once
Mia's true identity is publicized, she's

teen Britney-bot Mandy Moore as a nasty
cheerleader). And she surprise—takes

RUSH HOUR 2
•••1/2
Starring Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker,
John Lone, Zhang Ziyi, Alan King and
Roselyn Sanchez- Directed by Brett Ratner.
Written hy Jeff Nathan son. Produced by
Arthur Sarkissian, Roger Birnbaum, Jay
Stern and Jonathan Glickman. A New Line
release. Action-comedy. Rated PG-I3 for
action violence, language and some sexual
material. Running time: 84 min.
Arriving at the tail-end of an effectsriddled
summer that many were beginning
to believe was too horrible to be redeemed,
"Rush Hour 2" is, indeed, very much that
redeemer. Unlike its 1998 predecessor,
which exploded from nowhere to defy
expectations, the sequel has ample anticipatory
baggage. But. thankfully, the makers
of "Rush Hour 2" haven't allowed the
weight of that baggage to derail them from
doing what works—namely, giving audiences
a straightforward, unfussy buddy
picture loaded with laughs, eye-popping
action set pieces and an indefatigable sense
of fun.
Picking up soon after the first film's
conclusion, "Rush Hour 2" finds LAPD
detective Carter (Chris Tucker) eager to
enjoy a Hong Kong vacation, but he's
stymied at every turn by detective Lee
(Jackie Chan), who drags Carter along as
he goes about his daily police work. But a
rash of bombings that appear to be connected
to a Triad boss named Ricky Tan
(John Lone) hit a deeper nerve for both
men. Tan, it is revealed, was the former
police officer whose betrayal led to the
death of Lee's father. And, having lost his
own police officer father under similar
conditions. Carter is only too eager to
Help Lee unravel the case.
Unfortunately, the case—which concerns
an international smuggling and
counterfeiting operation—has already
been on the radar of the U.S. Secret
Service for some time, prompting the
agency to order Lee and Carter to back off
(deja vu from the first film when they got
much the same directive from the FBI).
And. true to form, they ignore it.
On the predictable side, fans will be
happy to see Tucker motor-mouthing his
way through even more outrageous displays
of public obnoxiousness while
Jackie (who is pushing 50) continues to
dazzle with feats of physical prowess that
still surpass the abilities of actors half his
age.
The film's most rewarding surprising.
though, is how confident both men have
become in stepping into each other's territory—Chris
Tucker displaying surprisingly
deft fighting skills and Jackie easing
more comfortably into verbal comedy.
In short, "Rush Hour 2" does a marvelous
job of holding together its base
while expanding its appeal to new legions
of the unconverted. And that bodes well
not only for the film's profits, but for the
future of the "Rush Hour" franchise.

PLANET OF THE APES **l/2
Starring Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth and
Helena Bonham Carter. Directed hy Tim
Burton. Written by William Broyles Jr.,
Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal.
Produced by Richard D. Zanuck. A Fox release.
Sci-filAction. Rated PG-iifor some sequences

You'd think if the "If it ain't broke,
don't fix it" rule applied to a single sci-fi
film, it would be the 1968 fan favorite
"Planet of the Apes." a magical blend of
speculative ideas and B-movie creature
action that holds up remarkably well three
decades and several generations of specialeffects
technology later. Undaunted by
"Ape's" exalted position in the genre
canon, fantasy stylist Tim Burton
("Batman," "The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow") has put together an artistically
cranked-up remake that improves on many
aspects of the original—most everything,
in fact, except the simple, clear storytelling
that made it a classic in the first place.
The updated setup follows a fearless
pilot ("The Perfect Storm's" Mark
Wahlberg) from the year 2029 as he accidentally
travels through a strange outerspace
disturbance and crash-lands on a
topsy-turvy world where apes have evolved
to be the dominant species, with humans
as their cowering pets and slaves. Like

MADE **l/2
Starring Jon Favreau, t ince I aughn,
Peter Falk and Sean Comhs. Directed and
written by Jon Favreau. Produced by Jon
Favreau and Vince Vaughn. An Artisan
release. Comedy. Rated R for pervasive language,
some drug use and sexuality. Running
time: 94 min.
Jon Favreau's sock-in-the-mouth comedy
"Made" plays like a dystopian "Swingers."
The humor isn't ebullient; it's anxiety-ridden.
Instead of bopping through Los
Angeles clubs looking for babes, Bobby
(Favreau) and Ricky (Vince Vaughn) must
drop off a bundle of money for their mobster
bosses (a grungy Peter Falk and silky
Sean "Puffy" Combs). What should be a
routine assignment turns into a comedy of
errors when the two blunder their way
through the simplest of tasks. The routines
don't have the innocence (or anarchic slapstick)
of Laurel and Hardy, but the set-up
is the same, focusing on two blue-collar
dopes who frustrate their supervisors.
Favreau, in his barbed script, gives
Vaughn many of the funniest lines. Instead
of sight gags, Favreau hangs his comedy
on Vaughn's savagely funny wisecracks.
Ricky's mouth is always getting him in
trouble. On a flight to New York, Vaughn
torments a stewardess. At their hotel, he
berates a bellhop (Sam Rockwell, in an
uncredited cameo). Few other actors are as
amusing, or as comfortable, playing a
smug jerk (Alec Baldwin comes to mind).

Anyone nervy enough to attempt making
a heist film these days is already in deep
water since most such pictures resort to
either shamelessly ripping off other heist
movies or. deluded that there's still room for
originality in the genre, indulge in the most
ludicrous contrivances imaginable. The
handful that actually manage to find their
way out of this thicket are so few and far
between that they are just a handful, most
of which, like "The Killing" and "Rififi,"
center on failure rather than success.
Incredibly, "The Score." one of the
worst heist pictures in recent memory, has
managed to attract some of the best talent
in Hollywood; director Frank Oz, screenwriter
Lem Dobbs and stars Robert De
Niro, Edward Norton and Marlon Brando
(Angela Bassett is also listed as a star,
though her screen time barely amounts to
a television commercial). It's something of
a relief that no one seems to really know
how bad the film is, giving "The Score" a
veneer that makes it look like a much better
picture than it is.
De Niro's Nick Wells is
the lynchpin to
the intended heist, a seasoned safecracker
who would love to retire and enjoy the
quiet life of a Montreal jazz club owner,
settling down with his longtime lady luck,
Diane (Angela Bassett). That's when his
longtime partner and buyer. Max (Marlon
Brando), offers him "the score" that will
let him do just that. The problem is it
would require Nick to violate one of his
primary directives: pulling off a job in his
own "backyard." The target is a priceless
gold scepter, recently discovered in the leg
of a termite-infested piano that had been
quarantined by Canadian customs. As if
doing a job in Montreal weren't bad
enough, Nick will have to rely on a partner
about whom he knows nothing, the "inside
man" at the Customs House, a wily and
overeager type named Jack (Edward
Norton) who has managed to land himself
a job as a night janitor by pretending to be
mentally retarded.

A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
••
Stalling Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law,
Frances O'Connor, Brendan Gleeson and
William Hurt. Directed by Steven Spielberg.
Written by Steven Spielberg. Produced by
Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg and
Bonnie Curtis. A Warner Bros, release.
DramalSF. Rated PG-13 for some sexual
content and violent images. Running time:
145 min.
The big question surrounding "A.I.
Artificial Intelligence" is, of course, the
obvious one—namely, how the sensibilities
of Steven Spielberg and the late Stanley
Kubrick could possibly be brought into
reconciliation so as to satisfy the expectations
of both core audiences. Regardless of
whether "A.I." would have been Kubrick's
next film or a Kubrick-produced Spielberg
film, as those close to the situation allege,
it's an undeniable fact that the two legendary
filmmakers come from entirely
opposing camps: Spielberg, the hopelessly
commercial sentimentalist, and Kubrick,
the blissfully cynical intellectual. Admittedly,
there is much in the central premise of
"A.I." to set Kubrickian and Spielbergian
hearts aflutter. On the one hand it's a picture
about family, humanity and the meaning
of love—themes that seem custom-tailored
for the ever-humanistic Spielberg.
On the other hand, there are transcendent
questions about life and the nature of sentient
intelligence—the kind of heady stuff
to which Kubrick habitually gravitated.
While there's no telling how the film might
have turned out if it had concentrated
itself on just one angle of approach, what
is clear is that it fails utterly in its attempt
to encompass them both. It's a classic case
of mixing oil and water while laboring
under the illusion of having created a fine
wine. This awkward, insignificant movie is
so firmly convinced of its own importance
that it borders on vanity.
Set in a dystopian but technologically
advanced future in which the polar icecaps
have melted and flooded most of the earth,
'A.I." centers on the emotional odyssey of
David (Haley Joel Osment), a new kind of
highly-sophisticated "Media" (short for
Mechanism, the colloquial moniker for
robots) who has been programmed to
return as well as crave the love and affection
of Orgas (short for Organism, the corresponding
term for humans). David is
given his trial run with a couple (Sam
Robards and Frances O'Connor) whose
own son has been all but lost to an incurable
illness- cryogenically frozen until
such time as a cure can be found, if ever.
The arrangement obviously requires some
initial emotional adjustment, but the couple
soon becomes attached to David much
as they might with a biological child.
That's when the sudden (and incredibly
predictable) recovery of their natural son
throws the family unit into disarray, reaching
critical mass after David nearly drowns
his "brother" in a freak accident. It's

agreed that David has to go, but instead of
being returned to his creators he's simply
abandoned in an "E.T"-like wilderness
where he develops traumatic separation
anxiety, determined to become "a real
boy," just like
will love him.
Pinocchio, so that Mommy
It is at this stage that the film entirely
abandons its intellectual foundations, opting
instead for a traditional fairytale
odyssey that plays like a cross between the
aforementioned "Pinocchio" and "The
Wizard of Oz." David is even given an
archetypal Jiminy Cricket-type "mentor"
companion in the person of an annoying
little robot teddy bear (aptly named
"Teddy") who, for reasons never fully
explained, seems to be wiser and more
intelligent than David. The opportunity to
explore a post-apocalyptic vision of the
world also proves too much for Spielberg's
attempts at restraint. As David wanders
through a series of noisy, candy-colored
futuristic landscapes that seem inspired by
everything from the "Mad Max" films to
New York's Times Square, the film literally
explodes into a CGI free-for-all, showcasing
high-end visual effects at the
expense of substantive character development.
Only because of Osment's convincing
skills as an actor is it possible to tolerate
David's incessant whimpering about
wanting to become a real boy (which goes
on for roughly an hour).
Finally, after a series of wholly unacceptable
contrivances, David is befriended
by a robot gigolo (played by an underused
Jude Law) who helps him find his way to
the submerged ruins of Manhattan where.
he is led to believe, his quest will come to
its conclusion. And conclude it does,
although not in the way that many might
expect. What's most frustrating is that the
much-talked-about finale, which leaps two
millennia into the future, does show some
initial flashes of the intellectual substance
so painfully missing from the preceding
two hours. But here, as before, Spielberg is
more concerned with emotions than ideas,
overindulging the former while employing
embarrassingly incomprehensible pseudoscientific
babble to conveniently dispose of
the latter. For every difficult, unanswerable
scientific and philosophical question.
Spielberg offers only obvious, crass sentimentality
as an answer.
"A.I." is a model of superficiality, a film
in which no emotion and no thought is
allowed to go unspoken. Subtext, subtlety
and ambiguity— the hallmarks of
Kubrick's best work—are anathema lo the
effort here.
In the end. "A.I." isn't all thai different
from the equally banal "Bicentennial
Man" (that film's star, Robin Williams,
provides one of several voice cameos ]n
"A. I."), with which it shares a stubborn
refusal to confront the difficult proposition
thai feelings and emotions are frequently
the very antithesis of intelligence,

Contrary to rumor, "The

1954 hot rod flick of the

abundance of thematic similarities.
The actual source material
for the new Rob Cohen-directed

is so review-proof that it's
almost pointless to even make
the effort. Anyone even peripherally
involved with the street
racing scene isn't likely to care
much about such vagaries as
plot, acting, characterization or
dialogue. The mere promise of
fast cars, hot women, bulging
biceps, a smattering of tattoos
and the deafening cacophony
of revving engines, squealing
tires,
blaring sirens and a roaring
rock 'n' roll/hip-hop fusion
soundtrack is more than
enough to line 'em up around
the block.
For those who actually care.
"The Fast and the Furious"
falls back upon one of the most
tired and cliched plots imaginable:
the old "undercover cop
faced with conflicting loyalties"
routine. It's "Donnie Brasco" at
1 30 mph— precisely the kind of
film that would have made a
great B-movie back in the rebel
youth days of the 1950s when
Roger Corman was making
such films as.. .well. .."The Fast
and the Furious."
Director Cohen, whose
films have grown increasingly
duller and stupider since his
sensational debut with "Dragon:
The Bruce Lee Story," clearly
can't do much with the straightjacketed
narrative, although he
does manage to have fun with
the handful of scenes that
count the most—several riproaring
races and a handful of
exceptional auto stunts. Wade

about performance.
And as with any concert film,

The folk and bluegrass numbers

the self-indulgent egomaniacs
so prevalent in other musical
genres, it's refreshing to see
such a lack of posturing on the
part of the unassuming players,
who are more interested in
music than spectacle, and who
sound great to boot.
Of course, the filmmakers
can't seem to help including
occasional audience shots that
reveal the smattering of celebrities
in the crowd, but that's a
small price to pay for the sweet
sounds up on the stage. Jordan

EVENT:
Dan Klusmann
Co-Chairman
Great States Convention
Kalispell, Montana
Which do you use most: Mail, e-mail, phone or fax?
It used to be that the phone and fax gave me a break from spending my whole life staring
at a screen, but now the computer gods and e-mail are quickly stealing even that;
respite from me.
If elves were at work in the industry, what would their best hit of midnight magic be?
Give us all digital cinema, no\v\
When you visit one of your theatres, what are the first and last things you check?
First: film presentation. The last: quality of the popcorn (can't leave a theatre without itl
What is the best movie made since 1965, your first year in the business?
I like films that create goosebumps: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "The Silence
of the Lambs" and "Titanic."
What has changed the most and least in the past 36 years about the exhibition business?
The most: Good films were "events" not to be missed. We went to great lengths to be!
creative and promote and advertise them locally. Now, movies come and go all too
quickly, even the good ones. There is little sense of urgency, and their local advertising
is relegated to a line or two of microscopic print in the newspaper. The least: The experience.
Time has no meaning for the audience engrossed in a great story.
In what ways will theatre exhibitors who attend come away changedfrom their experience
at the Great States Convention?
I don't think they'll want to leave, but once they do they will return home with renewed
excitement and enthusiasm for this great business of ours.
Note to Readers: As co-chairman of this year's first-ever Great States Convention, Dan Klusmann— who
began in high school as a marquee changer at Billings, Mont, 's World Theatre and today operates tin
Audian and Cordova Theatres in Pullman, Wash.— will help oversee the gathering that combines the venerable
Rocky Mountain Theatre Convention and the newer NATO Midwest Geneva Convention. A long
with previewing the upcoming ShowSouth and Giant Screen Theater Association annual meets, our next
issue will detail all the business sessions, screenings and studio presentations, trade show and other activities
of the Great States Convention, to be held in Kalispell, Mont., September 11-13, 2001.
