...sense of flashback to the bad old days of the Cold War was underscored by President Boris Yeltsin's warning Thursday that President Clinton, in criticizing Russia's conduct in Chechnya, "must have forgotten for a moment what Russia is - it has a full arsenal of nuclear weapons." And in the ultimate d?j? vu, the Russian leader's remarks came during a visit to Beijing in order to drum up support in the face of Western pressure over Chechnya. Post-communist Russia's decline and NATO's bombing campaign over Kosovo earlier this year have cemented a fiercely anti-Western...

...Speaking of the ordinarily recognizable becoming barely that: the headless horseman--when he has a head in a flashback and in the resolution--is played by Christopher Walken. Walken's silent performance is sure to make you start out of your seat at least the first time you see him. His gnarly-teeth, wild hair and demonic eyes make you regard his subsequent headlessness as less of a fright and more of a relief...

...Actress was a labor of love for Halle Berry. Maybe too much love, as the end product is a devoted but ultimately dull hagiopic. Berry is vivacious and hungry as Dandridge, and Brent Spiner is affecting as her dedicated manager; but a flat script and uninteresting narrative (rendered in flashback as Berry flips through a scrapbook) throw ice water on the heat its subject is supposed to project...

...Aerobie incredibly far with amazing accuracy," assures seven time world frisbee champion Scott Zimmerman on the packaging. In fact, someone once threw the Aerobie 1257 feet--a bit far for a catch don'tch ya think? The Aerobie comes in three bitchin' neon colors, each providing a wicked flashback to the late 80s. On a lark, spoil yourself with the new Aerobie Superdisc ($10.99) with its "soft cushioned edge" and its dope "spoiler for stable flights...
