...first place--so you can see we're stirring a pretty thin soup here. Luckily, film can do one thing that books can not: special effects. The only new and memorable thing about Hideaway is what is new and memorable about a lot of recycled stories of good vs. evil on film, the awesome, computer-generated special effects. Our trips to the other side swirl us through a bubbling multicolored cyberworld where amorphous hands and faces coalesce out of vapor and disperse into another face, another hand. It's as good or better than an acid trip, and very psychedelic...

The film, which transports the Formica-loving clan to a '90s world of fast teenagers, evil developers and psychotherapy, was much more to his liking. But the stress took its toll: the day the film opened, at dinner Schwartz blacked out. He later had a pacemaker implanted to correct a heart condition--called, incredibly, bradycardia...
