...school, whose space limitations forced several after-school activities to meet in a former coal chute, is slated for demolition in early November. Students have been relocated to St. Joseph's, an abandoned parochial school in Somerville...
...lives to make movies," says film critic David Chute, who produced the new laser-disc set of The Killer and observed Woo close up as unit publicist on Hard Target.

The magazine's August issue contains a brief but gushing piece on director John Woo written by David Chute. Chute just happens to have been the unit publicist for Woo's forthcoming action film, Hard Target. In his story Chute quotes people who compare Woo to Sergio Leone, Michelangelo and Martin Scorsese. Although Woo is considered by many critics to be a talented filmmaker, the author's link to the movie isn't brought up in the piece. Chute...
