...serving tall skinny lattes. On Beverly Hills, 90210, the suspiciously unlined mother of all teen soaps, which ran from 1990 to 2000, even the richest kids were happy with an after-school Coke at the retro diner. Not so on just plain 90210, an extreme makeover of the '90s show debuting Sept. 2 on the CW network with new characters and - in teen years - a geologic era's worth of social and cultural updates...
...things a low- or medium-budget filmmaker can do is experiment," Corman said in an interview with Leonard Maltin in the late 90s, "can take chances such as we did - in such a zany idea as Death Race - because you're not gambling that much money. If you're making a $100 million picture ... you,re going to be fairly conservative as to what you do. But if you're making a picture, say, in today's market for a million dollars, or when we made Death Race which I think was about $300,000, we can afford to, essentially...
...early reviews of Hamlet 2 make it seem like a wild anarchic satire. It is nothing of the sort. It's a standard-issue parody of the inspirational-teacher movies that bloomed in the '90s (with Mr. Holland's Opus and Dangerous Minds) and show no signs of going away.

But genuine satire is hard to find on the big screen these days, or any day, because its strident moralist tone tends to alienate audiences. In the definition...
...Still, property developers feeling the pain would do well to take the long view. "We've seen falls of this scale many times before," says Davidson, recalling "big crashes in [City] rents in the early '90s and around the turn of this decade." Further proof of property's fast-changing fortunes: when the Wall Street crash wiped out demand for space in a newly built Empire State Building in the '30s, locals dubbed the iconic skyscraper the "Empty State Building." London developers can be forgiven for aiming high...
...Woody Allen will die, and commentators will declare him one of the great American comic filmmakers - maybe not even comic; just great, period. The judicious long view, and postmortem sentiment, will allow critics to ignore or rationalize the dip in the quality of Allen's films from the mid-'90s, or whenever they once declared the fall-off began. Instead they will concentrate on the official classics, especially Annie Hall and Manhattan, and on Allen's amazingly predictable productivity: since the mid-70s he has averaged a film a year as writer-director...
