...certain vibrancy. The story line -- in which the family scion (a well-cast James Spader) runs for Congress, investigates a murder in which he could be implicated and sorts out the circumstances surrounding his father's suicide -- is twisty and full of colorful characters and weird behavior. Director Mark Frost, co-creator of Twin Peaks, has made a good-looking movie, combining intellectual ambition with darkly glamorous conflicts between private demons and public trust. Storyville is good, serious...
...David Lynch circus is back. While Mark Frost is happy to leave the town he helped make a prime-time legend, his ex-partner is still living there, with all the warped ingenuousness of a rural kid who tells his friends, "Let's put the freak show on right here! Again!" TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME, Lynch's way-too-late prequel to the 1990 TV series, relates the last days of teen queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee).

Since his 1987 debut album, Rhyme Pays, Marrow -- who goes by his high school nickname of Ice-T -- has set off critics who accuse him of glorifying crime, homophobia, sexism and violence. His profanity-laced descriptions of gang life in a Los Angeles ghetto fostered a genre of hard-core black music known as "gangster rap." Tipper Gore of the Parents' Music Resource Center singled out Ice-T for the "vileness of his message...
...blind son replies. Martin (Hugo Weaving), hero of Jocelyn Moorhouse's PROOF, takes pictures to document a world he cannot see or trust. Should he trust Celia (Genevieve Picot), who desires him even more than she hates him? Or amiable Andy (Russell Crowe), shopping for a friend? Emotional frost is the one power Martin holds over those who would come close enough to wound or even touch him. This Australian drama has faults: a short story's facile symmetry and (ugh!) a wacky car chase. But it gets at the mysteries of isolation and obsession. Like another, better movie about...
