...scripts without divulging that they were written by a contributor.) Can anyone objectively review films made by those who might employ him? "I?m not going to sugarcoat my reviews," McWeeny avers. But they are already pretty sweet. In his last five columns, he reviewed five films, a TV cartoon and a website. The verdicts: six raves ("Ocean?s Eleven," the "American Werewolf in London site, "The Others," "El Celo," "Heart of the Warrior" and TV?s "Samurai Jack") and one fave (a few reservations within a positive review of "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back"). Last Christmas of seven...

This all-star brainchild of Damon Albarn from Blur; Dan (the Automator) Nakamura; Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz from Tom Tom Club; and Tank Girl animator Jamie Hewlett is technically a concept album: the CD plays a cartoon on your computer. Well, forget the 'toon and listen to the tunes, for this is the most imaginative pop record of the year. Nakamura's beats are wonderfully atmospheric and danceable; Del Tha Funky Homosapien's playful rhymes are the perfect foil to Albarn's ennui-filled vocals, and Weymouth's giant bass whomps away throughout...

Even good TV animation today is about doing more with less: less movement, less texture, less detail, as in the minimalist Powerpuff Girls, with its static figures "flying" against a pulsing background. If Samurai Jack (Cartoon Network, debuts Aug. 10, 7 p.m. E.T., then Mondays, 8 p.m. E.T.) looks like no other cartoon on TV, that's because it's maximalist with a capital MAX. Richly textured backgrounds, constant visual surprises, a thrilling music score--this 'toon gives you your cable bill's worth...

...tempting to accept the cartoon version of modern boomer parenting that it is easy to miss the passionate debate underneath it. Leave aside the extremes, the lazy parents who set no bounds and the gifted ones who are naturally wise when it comes to kids. In between you hear the conversation, the unending concern and confusion over where and how to draw the lines. Have we gone too far, given kids more power than they can handle and more stuff than they can possibly need? Should we negotiate with our children or just inform them of the rules...

...hard to be hostile to creatures so charmingly intent, so assiduous, and so eagerly scrambling up the food chain. I guess they would not be cute if they carried bubonic plague. But these being glove-gray country mice that have skittered in from a Tom and Jerry cartoon, I root for their innocence and ingenuity. I am even mouse-proud. My mice are smarter than your mice! After the stunt with the Skippy peanut butter jar, I felt as they had gotten 800s on their SATs. These guys are good...
