...documentary that followed the New York novice team to the 1996 nationals in Portland. Part of the challenge was to find a narrative to streamline 90 minutes of footage while preserving the integrity of the individual performances and the excitement of live slam. Another challenge was marketing the film to general audiences who had preconceived notions of poetry performance. Whether it was his journalistic experience or the power of slam itself. SlamNation converted enough skeptical viewers (Devlin cries, "Ninety minutes of poetry? I'd rather shoot myself!") to jump from the film festival circuit to national release. Devlin's film...
What to Look For This is the U.S. debut of Hong Kong director Peter Chan. Filming took place in the quaint, idyllic, sleepy, picturesque town of Rockport, Mass. Star Kate Capshaw, best known as Steven Spielberg's wife, best remembered as the second Indiana Jones girl, long ago made The Love Letter her pet project when she optioned the movie rights of the book. Expect it to have a pleasingly female perspective on what it means to fall in love.

When a lounge singer (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and her daughter (Vanessa Martinez) show up in town, the three meet and their lives forever change. In a touching moment of cliche, they even end up stranded together on a deserted island...
What to Look For Adam Sandler is a hot commodity right now: the two films he starred in last year--The Wedding Singer and The Waterboy--together did $241 million worth of box office. It's no wonder, then, that Sony has high hopes for Sandler's upcoming summer comedy. If it sounds like a bit more serious of a role than Sandler's Bayou-dwellling, alligator eating, Gatorade-toting "Waterboy," it is. Of course, there will still be plenty of Sancdler's trademark humor to go around, but the film's director claims that Big Daddy will actually feature...
