...Hill. Ford knew a political fire storm was on the way. But he kept hearing whispers from others about Nixon's ambivalence: fight, don't fight, hang in, resign. "I was 90% certain that sooner or later he had to resign," recalled Ford. "I was certain the die was cast for impeachment. If Nixon had decided to fight the House and the Senate, it would have been a terrible thing for the country...
...video." After a midnight show at the Angelika, the indie showplace in lower Manhattan where Blair Witch had its theatrical premiere on July 14, a vocal minority is shouting, like a high school football cheer, a chorus of "Bulllllsh__!" But a few persist in believing, even after the final cast and credit roll, that this clever fiction is for real--a documentary that ends in death.

Co-directors Jerald Korn and Elena DeCoste said that when they realized how many experienced actors, directors, producers, and crew members were staying in Cambridge for the summer, they decided it would be worth the risk to establish...
...Gere worked so successfully for him in Pretty Woman. They're all good at diversionary sleight-of-hand. Roberts' tentativeness is charming; she knows what she's doing, fights it, then succumbs with sad but perky resignation. Gere puts a nice flaky edge on his incisiveness. The supporting cast, led by Joan Cusack, surrounds them with funny common sense that doesn't fully assert itself until the happy end of this deft, if disposable, movie...
