...lost. On surface, this holiday movie season looks downright banal. But look closer and you'll find the hidden gems. Next week, Oliver Stone delivers the adrenaline extravaganza Any Given Sunday starring Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz. The same day (talk about counterprogramming hitting counterprogramming, thus eliminating the point of counterprogramming), Jim Carrey does Andy Kaufman in Milos Forman's Man on the Moon. In this issue, we give you a look at The Talented Mr. Ripley, Anthony Minghella's follow-up to The English Patient that stars Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow in a wicked little tale about murder...

But he keeps the wheels spinning on this funny-peculiar story of people so desperate that they would pay to be anyone else. Even John Malkovich...
...thought that both Cameron Diaz and Catherine Keener did a wonderful job with Lotte and Maxine, but that, as two versatile actresses, you probably could have played either part. Did you gravitate towards these roles when the script first came across your desk...
