Talking. Another then-unknown actress, Anne Heche, plays

What We're Watching
John Boorman's ( Deliverance) biopic of Irish crime boss Martin Cahill is one of those little films that only the critics saw in theaters. Character actor Brendan Gleeson is given a rare lead performance and shines as The General, a risk-taking leader who found many means, including thefts large and small, to lead his people.

And Everyone's Invited
The ensemble film is an art
form. Relying on big stars or a bevy of unknowns, directors have honed their
skills on telling stories from multiple viewpoints. Paul Thomas Anderson's
second foray into this field (Magnolia, a follow-up to
Boogie
Nights) is the latest in this fascinating genre. See our list of
other entertaining ensemble films.

The Remake Game
Some movies advertise themselves as remakes of famous and
not-so-famous films. Other films hide their origins. Did you know that the new
film The Talented Mr. Ripley was also a French movie made in
1960 under another title (Purple
Noon)? French films have been the inspiration for many other
American films starring the likes of Richard Gere, Arnold Schwarzengger, and
Tim Allen. Amazon.com contributor Jon Burlingame takes us through the names and
finds the origins of many American films.
