young and upcoming horrormeisters, such as P.D. Cacek. If you are into horror,
999: New Stories of Horror and Suspense is the kind of candy youve been waiting
for. It has scares, chills and gore enough for all.
At The Movies...
Love And Basketball
A romantic sports drama, Love and Basketball addresses the very real struggles
faced by aspiring professional athletes. Sanaa Lathan plays Monica, a tomboy
from a Los Angeles suburb, who challenges her next-door neighbor, Quincy, to a
little one-on-one. Quincy's thrown that a girl can rattle off NBA stats and
perform as well as him on the court. The film delves into the different
treatment each receives as they try to realize their dream of going pro. Lathan's got all the right moves in this one.

Boys Dont Cry
The subject of countless
magazine articles, Brandon Teena was actually Teena Brandon, a young woman who
disguised herself as a man and who, in 1993, was raped and murdered because of
her transvestitism by two ex-cons her own age. Everyone is perfectly cast,
which was evident when Hillary Swank walked away with the Academy Award for her
lead performance. Boys Don't Cry is brutal and gut-wrenching right up to the
inevitable, violent climax. Definitely for mature audiences only.
