...released until the Christmas season. But already Lee has fought off rival attempts to make the film, wrangled with the poet Amiri Baraka (once known as LeRoi Jones) and other black nationalists about how their hero should be portrayed on the screen, knocked heads with Warner Bros. over how much money and playing time are needed to tell Malcolm's story, and lost financial control of the project. "I knew this was going to be the toughest thing I ever did," he says, sitting wearily in his editing room. "The film is huge in the canvas we had to cover...
This devastating chronicle reminds you that no one in all of rock hangs tougher than LOU REED. There are all those metalheads and strutters, but they're poseurs up against the rage and uncertainty that infuse Reed's new MAGIC AND LOSS (Sire/Warner Bros.). None of them have the dark courage to take on the themes Reed wrestles with here: waste, cancer, death.

It is also counting on Kevin Costner, America's No. 1 homegrown movie star, to lure audiences to what is at heart a high-voltage civics quiz. Though he doesn't necessarily agree with every notion floated in the film, Costner is happy to play front man for Stone. "Oliver's a patriot," he says. "And I believe with him that the impact of this movie will be liberating. Any part of the truth...
JERRY LEE LEWIS: ROCKIN' MY LIFE AWAY (Warner Bros.). A sweet combo indeed: 20 Killer sessions, vintage '78-'80, that wound up on several obscure albums, now resurrected and sounding spanking fresh. Terrific backcountry blues, closing out with a roadhouse version of Over the Rainbow that's as poignant as it is audacious...
