Maybe "Star Wars: Episode 1" should have been called "Take the Money and
Run". "The Matrix" was a much better film IMHO, although other people could
disagree with me and with the majority of voters in four Oscar categories.

Phil Collins is wonderful and he deserves a lifetime achievement award for
his songs, but all five songs were played and sung on the Oscar telecast, and
"Blame Canada" is by far the best song. Robin Williams and the dancers who
joined him on stage were truly entertaining.

I didn't see the star wars one so can't comment on that. The Matrix
certainly deserved the four awards. It was technologically the most advance
movie we have ever seen and also coincidental one of the very worst. Kind
of like watching over a kids shoulder while he is playing a video game. The
sound and graphics were superb, the story non existent or at best stupid.
Great to watch for a few minutes but how long can you watch somebody else
play a video game, a dull one at that.

I agree Matrix was the far better contender, yet
SW:E1:tPM had visual FX of a supreme level: it was so
realistic yet there were so few actual (living)
characters! It lacked the ingenuity of Matrix, but U
gotta hand it to Lucas the scenes were SUPER.
i.e. the pod race, THE battle, Amidala before the
assembly... etc.

I am a huge SF fan. There have been some really great SF movies over the
years and a shame that there are not many any more. I love movies that make
you think and the Matrix, although superb visuals, was not good SF. Not a
good story, nothing that was thought provoking, characters were not really
interesting. Just a two hour video game with great graphics & sound. Star
Wars movies are much better SF than the Matrix any day.

I like that assessment. I do think that some of the effects in Star Wars
were certainly noteworthy, but in some places annoying. I thought the Matrix
was easily more deserving of the awards, with the possible exception of the
best sound editing.

Yeah, I am ok with him getting it to some extent because he did an excellent
job. Haley Joel was my choice though, and I was disappointed he didn't get
it, and after him Duncan. But, as long as Cruise didn't get it, I would have
been ok with any of the choices really. Even Law, whom I am not sure
should've been nominated.

That was a very funnily done number, likely due to Robin Williams'
performance. I saw the clip of the actual song from the movie on E! last
week (bleeped in a couple of spots of course) and the song is truly
hilarious. I haven't seen the movie yet.

In general I agree, but I think there is more to the Matrix that just fell
apart as the script went Hollywood-mush by the end.
I think the movie had a wonderful opportunity for hidden meanings and
themes, but I think the script just couldn't capture it. There were a lot of
discussions last year about the psuedo-Christian themes in it, and while I
think that is stretching, I do catch certain references, which had the
script been more intelligent, that aspect could've been more interesting and
given the story some depth. There was also an opportunity to delve into deep
existential stuff about what is real and so forth, but that is missed, too.
The story ends up turning into a race-against-the-clock mixed with a
unnecessary romance, all of which appears to be the remnants of Hollywood
mush formulas.
So, while I don't quite see it as simple as a video game, I do think that a
possible depth was missed to the story that could've made this movie one of
the premiere SF movies of the past decade.
As it was, a great techincal achievement but a dull story.

Oh no, then you totally missed the movie! It was so much more than the
special effects and what not, I thought there was a great story to it.

While I agree that THE MATRIX was a better film than TPM, in terms of visual
effects I think that TPM should have won the Oscar. The effects in THE MATRIX
were all very flashy, and called attention to themselves whereas in TPM the
effects were in the background and seamlessly intergrated into the story so
that you forgot they were there. On my second viewing of TPM I really noticed
all of the things that were going on in the background, a real attention to
detail in terms of effects. Too bad there wasn't an interesting story to go
along with them.

I haven't seen THE CIDER HOUSE RULES, but I really must comment that Caine's
speech was one of the best acceptance speeches I've ever seen. What a
gracious winner! Compare, for instance to John Irving or that smug MATRIX guy
(who acts like the "bullet time" stuff is so innovative, even though it was
used in a Gap commericial before showing up in THE MATRIX).
Based on his speech, I think Caine was well-aware that the award was really
for his lifetime of achievement, rather than for this particular performance.

I would have to disagree. For me, one thing that distinguishes good science
fiction is the science. I ask myself, "If you take away the science, do you
still have a story?" Good science fiction has the science (whether based in
truth or not) intergrated firmly into the story. Take away the science in
STAR WARS and you have a "B" Western (right down to the farmboy saying "You
killed my pa!") Take away the science in THE MATRIX and you have no movie.

I saw it and thought that it was good. It wasn't what I was expecting
with those actors in it because I thought it would be more of a comedy
rather than a drama with a few funny scenes. The way it was presented in
the previews made it appear that it would be a funny movie, however, the
previews were very deceiving, nonetheless, the movie was still worth
seeing, but I was glad I was in the mood to see a sad film.

Star Trek: Voyager executive producer Rick Berman
said there is definitely a tenth Trek movie in the
works, and it will feature the cast of The Next
Generation, according to the Fandom.com Web site. "I
will be a tease a little bit to you and tell you that
although I can't talk about it, or even talk about who is
involved, I can say that we are about to begin the writing
stages on what hopefully will be the next Star Trek
feature film," Berman told the site.
Berman also denied rumors about the new Trek television
series that is in the planning stages, to replace Voyager
when it ends its seven-year run next year. "What I can
tell you is that it's something that we have been working
on nearly a year. Contrary to rumors, it's the only concept
that we've developed. It's not one of three concepts
we've developed. It's a concept that the studio is behind,
and that we are discussing and finessing. As far as when
it's going to go into production, as far as when it's going
to go on the air, I don't know."
But Berman appeared to quash any hopes that a new
series would be based on the character of Capt. Hikaru
Sulu and the crew of the U.S.S. Excelsior, as many Trek
fans have urged. "The only thing I can say about the
series is that it's definitely Star Trek, but it is dramatically
different," he told Fandom.com. "It is going to be far more
different than really all three of the last series have been
from the original."

Former rapper LL Cool J (Deep Blue Sea) joins American
Pie's Chris Klein as a future athlete in Rollerball,
director John McTiernan's remake of the classic 1975
SF film of the same name, according to The Hollywood
Reporter. The MGM film goes before the cameras in
mid-July in Montreal, the trade paper reported.
The film will update the original, which told the story of a
society in which corporations had supplanted governments
and Rollerball, a violent combination of roller derby and
football, was the sport of the day. The new film, set in
2005, tells the story of Rollerball superstars played by
Klein and LL Cool J who conflict with their team owner, a
ruthless Russian businessman.
The new film will be written by John Pogue (The Skulls).
The original film's director, Norman Jewison, is one of the
producers of the new film.

Dead Man's Run, a supernatural feature film about a
man who dies for a living, is in development at
Centropolis Entertainment, the Hollywood trade
papers reported. The company bought the project from
screenwriter Jesse Alexander (Ground Zero).
Centropolis partners Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich
(Godzilla) will produce the film. Alexander and his partner
Ellory Elkayem also co-wrote Arac-Attack for Centropolis.

Mimic 2, a sequel to the 1997 Mira Sorvino SF thriller
Mimic, will begin production in Los Angeles in late
May, according to Variety. Cinematographer Jean de
Segonzac (TV's Homicide) will make his film-directing
debut on the movie, which is written by Joel Soisson
(Prophecy III).
Sorvino won't appear in the sequel, which will instead star
Alix Koromzay, who played sidekick Remy in the original
film. The plot will pick up where the last film left off,
telling the story of the fight against human-sized
cockroaches. The original film was directed by Guillermo
del Toro.

Screenwriter James Robinson (Starman) told fans on a
DC Comics message board that he will be adapting
Ursula K. LeGuin's The Farthest Shore for the movies,
according to the Comics2Film Web site. "It's for the Jim
Henson Company," Robinson said. Shore is the third novel
in LeGuin's acclaimed Earthsea series.
Robinson also said he will adapt Alan Moore's comic series
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a Victorian-era
superhero story, the site reported. League producer Don
Murphy told the Web site that Robinson was "almost
signed."

The Year Without Santa Claus, the 1974 Claymation
television special, is being remade as a live-action
feature film under the direction of onetime production
designer Bo Welch, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The holiday-themed fantasy film is slated for a Christmas
2001 release.
The television special, which was based on Phyllis
McGinley's novel of the same name, concerns Santa's
decision to take a break from Christmas while his elves try
to persuade him to come back. The special featured the
voices of Mickey Rooney and Shirley Booth. The movie will
change some elements of the original special while
preserving others, the trade paper reported.

Unbreakable, the upcoming film from Oscar-nominated
director M. Night Shyamalan, will bring surprises just
like his breakthrough feature film, The Sixth Sense.
"[Unbreakable is] about a man, played by Bruce [Willis],
who is in a really horrific train accident and he's
miraculously the only survivor," he told Hollywood
Reporter columnist Martin Grove.
Shyamalan added, "[Willis] questions why he was the only
survivor. There's a stranger, played by [Samuel L.]
Jackson, who approaches him and offers a very bizarre
explanation about why he was the only survivor.
Essentially, the movie's about Bruce and his family coming
to terms with whether this theory is correct is not."
The director is coy because he wants to preserve the
film's secrets. "Well, I'm trying to make films about many
things," he said. "So there are the things you can be told
before you come into the theater, and there are the
things that really are about the movie experience, about
sitting in a theater. To reserve that kind of [information is
important]. You know, like, maybe you know the guy gets
the girl and it's a romance, but you don't know something
else. I'm trying to maintain that kind of feeling."
Unbreakable, which is now in post-production, is slated
for a November release.

Guy Pearce and Helena Bonham Carter will star in Till
Human Voices Wake Us, a supernatural love story
directed and written by Michael Petroni, according to
The Hollywood Reporter. Petroni also wrote the script for
the upcoming adaptation of Anne Rice's vampire novel The
Queen of the Damned, the trade paper reported.
Voices will tell the story of a man (Pearce) haunted by his
dead childhood sweetheart (Bonham Carter) when he
returns to his rural hometown. Petroni's script won the
best new script award from the Writers Guild of
America/Scenario Magazine before being optioned by
Sandra Bullock's Fortis Films, the trade paper reported.
Voices begins production in May in Australia.

Former Fox executive Richard Zanuck will produce that
studio's big-budget remake of the classic 1968 SF film
Planet of the Apes, according to Variety. Ironically,
Zanuck was president of production at Fox more than
three decades ago when the original Apes and its four
sequels were produced.
"It's like my own time warp," Zanuck told Variety, alluding
to the time-travel motif of Apes. Zanuck said he got
involved with the 1968 movie when it was in turnaround
and explained that "I was intrigued by it, but I was
worried the audience would laugh at the ape characters."
Variety concluded that the addition of Zanuck to the new
Apes roster is another signal that the remake is a top
priority at Fox, which hopes to begin production on the
film this fall for a summer 2001 release. Tim Burton has
signed on to direct the picture based on a script by Bill
Broyles.
Zanuck would reveal little about the latest incarnation of
Apes, but he did tell Variety, "Our objective is to make a
very entertaining picture that does have substance and
has characters--human and ape--that people will care
about."

Rudolf Martin has signed on to play Vlad "The Impaler"
Dracula in the independent film Passions of Dracula: A
True Story, according to Variety. Roger Daltrey of
The Who fame will star opposite Martin as King James of
Hungary, whose actions bring about the horrific reign of
Dracula.
The real-life Dracula ruled Wallachia from 1453-1462 and
is credited with killing tens of thousands of people, most
often by impaling. The vampire villain of Bram Stoker's
1897 novel Dracula is based on Vlad Dracula and has lent
the name further infamy.
Peter Weller and Jane March will also co-star in Passions,
which is being directed by Joe Chappelle from a script by
Tom Baum. The film starts shooting April 3 in Bucharest,
Romania.

Professional wrestler The Rock, otherwise known as
Dwayne Johnson, is in final talks to play the Scorpion

movie The Mummy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Rock joins original cast members Brendan Fraser,
Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo and Oded Fehr
under writer-director Stephen Sommers, the trade paper
reported.
The Rock will play a resurrected half-human, half-scorpion
ruler of all evil. The sequel begins shooting in May.

Critically panned Mission to Mars dropped to No. 2 in
the domestic box-office rankings in its second
weekend of release, bringing in only $10.9 million, the
Hollywood trade papers reported. The movie's take for the
weekend of March 18 was a sharp 52 percent decline in
revenues from its premiere weekend; the movie has
earned $40.1 million to date.
The supernatural thriller Final Destination opened in the
No. 3 slot, with $10.2 million, which New Line considered
respectable given the film's R rating, lack of big-name
stars and under-$20 million budget. The Ninth Gate
dropped from second place to fifth in its second weekend
of release, taking in just $3.5 million for a total of $12.5
million.

Martin Lawrence will star in a fantasy comedy feature
film based on a pitch by screenwriter Ty King (TV's

The Warner Bros. film will tell the story of a man (Martin)
who stumbles upon an art shipment that revives demons
