CHARLIE SHEEN and EMILIO ESTEVEZ's portrayal of garbagemen in the 1990 film Men at Work didn't exactly resonate with audiences. Their latest joint venture, however, should spark more wicked curiosity. The siblings play brothers and porn pioneers Artie and Jim Mitchell for the Showtime film Rated X.

Other locals see Blair Witch as a kind of mistaken-identity comedy. "Everybody's kind of laughing," says Robin Goetz, a library clerk. "Why, no one could get lost in our woods. All you'd have to do to get out is walk down toward the farm property...
...WELCOME TO BURKITTSVILLE--FOUNDED IN 1824 was stolen, and someone left a candle burning in the cemetery. "That wouldn't have been a problem, except for the drought," says Sergeant Tom Winebrenner of the Frederick County sheriff's office, which fields 30 to 40 calls a day about the film.
