...break into the American film market (Son of the Pink Panther) have fallen flat. He's been dubbed by some as Italy's Robin Williams, though this comparison hardly seems adequate. The best way to describe Benigni is as a mime who speaks--his broadly funny body and facial movements complement a mellifluous, mile-a-minute verbal style, and, in the case of Life is Beautiful, a script that is wise, sympathetic and very often hysterically funny. Benigni knew he was taking risks in making the film, but he "was obsessed, in love with this idea," he says...

...only seen in the increasingly silly Lethal Weapon movies these days, delivers an ardent reminder of what a fine actor he really is. His portrayal of Paul D is vivacious, endearing and painfully vulnerable. Kimberly Elise gives a burning, multifaceted performance as Denver. She conveys so much with one facial expression that she is able to counter with relative ease Thandie Newton's grating-at-best turn as Beloved.

Stephen, the youngest of the famous Baldwin brothers, doesn't play Dietl. Rather, he maintains a single facial expression of pouty sulleness and says the lines written for the character. He never gets angry, scared or sad, even in reaction to the deaths of characters with whom he has deep personal relationships. Baldwin did look tough, though, and came off as a cop, but looking real and natural aren't necessarily the hallmarks of good acting. Who wants to pay seven dollars to watch what they could see at the local donut shop? In the absence of a cohesive storyline...

...MADONNA can't leave the stage until someone has been offended. Her appearance on the MTV Awards as Shiva, a Hindu god, who then transmogrified into a different, more booty-shaking type of avatar altogether, vexed some Hindus. The World Vaishnava Association said her makeup, reminiscent of Hindu facial markings that indicate purity and devotion, did not go too well with her diaphanous top and suggestive dancing. Luckily, Hindus don't believe in fatwas. And besides, other Hindu groups were more complimentary, saying her pronunciation of chants was improving and she should be commended for her interest in and promotion...
