...through quite a few Warner Bros. prison films of the '30s as well. Not About Nightingales is paced like a movie, with short scenes that skip willy-nilly from warden's office to cell block, from mess hall to prison yard. The warden (played with fine, greasy intensity by Corin Redgrave, Vanessa's brother) is a sadistic dictator with no redeeming features. The convicts include a bullet-headed tough guy who organizes a hunger strike (James Black); a sympathetically rendered homosexual called Queenie (Jude Akuwudike); and the inevitable "new boy" (Mark Dexter), who arrives at the prison with dreams...
...Kill Rock Stars) is an improvement: there are still a fair number of lackluster songs, but there are more moments when the band unleashes its formidable energy. The band's lineup has changed slightly--guitarists Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein still trade off lead vocals, but drummer Lora MacFarlane has been replaced with Janet Weiss, whose rhythmic sense is somewhat sharper and more confident.

And Scott Brown '98 and Lucia Brawley '99 are delightful in their interpretations...
...film begins with the Elliots being hounded by their creditors, their debts so large that they must rent out the family estate, Kellynch Hall. Anne's vain father, Sir Walter Elliot (Corin Redgrave), and her malicious older sister, Elizabeth (Phoebe Nicholls), protest in horror, showing immediately that they lack that prime Austenian virtue, good sense. Only Anne and Lady Russell (Susan Fleetwood), who in the film seems something of an aging bohemian, make the necessary case for relocating to the resort town of Bath, where, as Sir Walter's lawyer tells him, "It is possible to be important at less...
Your imagination can take over at this point: joined by a sarcastic requisitions officer (Denis Leary), and two inept privates (Doug E. Doug and Corin Nemec), Glover and Liotta argue themselves all the way to an available elephant...
