Thursday, 25 December 1997

Some of my favorite movies of 1997 come from the hallowed halls of New Line Cinema. Boogie Nights and Wag The Dog are sure Oscar contenders. And for those of you who loved The Crow, Alex Proyas next film, Dark City, (just recently pushed back until February) is already on site. They also have a great page with info on movies that are now in production. But we know what you are waiting for -- Lost In Space. The official site is already screaming and there's a fun site from the fans with a countdown to release.

The art side of the company is Fine Line, the company that brought us such hits as The Player and Shine. This winter there's the new Woody Allen flick and the latest from acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan, The Sweet Hereafter.

Of course, the weird site of the day has to be, in the name of Boogie Nights, Craig Hosoda's The Bare Facts. You can find out all about naked people in movies. Mr. Hosada had made a career about telling you exactly where and when you can see Superstar Actress' left breast for 3.7 seconds. Show business is a truly expansive field.

Rough Cut will be as happy as Dirk Diggler's prom date if you vote for us for the Webbies.

Today's the day to unwrap The Whole Picture's version of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas. E-mail works though the holidays. Try it. You'll like it.
