...only the Rev. Al Sharpton were a movie critic! If only Johnnie Cochran could file a damage suit for cinematic misconduct! If only Hollywood did not have such an exploitative view of the young black urban audience this gratuitously violent and graceless remake of Shaft is meant to attract! The problem is not just that Jackson, normally as good an actor as they come, is to Roundtree what George Lazenby, who played James Bond in the deservedly forgotten On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), is to Sean Connery. It's that instead of updating the heroic Shaft...
...gaga over the new Lord of the Rings trailer-the first movie in the trilogy opens this December. Check out the preview at the New Line Cinema website... Speaking of websites, check out www.uglypeople.com. I'm agog... By all appearances, Whitney Houston is a drug addict. Mariah Carey is graceless, unintelligent and so 1992. Celine Dion has a new ugly hairdo. Jennifer Lopez is rapidly wearing out her welcome. Madonna suddenly becomes an Anglophile. Is it any wonder that we have a new crop of teen divas?

...loved, everyone expected TOM LANDRY to move on to another, to lead a different tribe of men to even more victories, even more Super Bowls. After all, Landry was the third most winning coach in the National Football League, after Don Shula and George Halas. But following a graceless dismissal by Dallas' new owner in 1989, Landry remained a silent, mournful football widower, reproachfully if silently carrying a torch for the team that moved on without him to further victories. At his firing, he shed public tears, which shocked an America that saw him as the faultlessly tailored, taciturn...
...rookie wideouts with 44 catches and 545 receiving yards. First, a broken foot kept him out for nearly all of the 1998 season; then he was sidelined by a sprained ankle in October. By last week, the only running the 25-year-old wide receiver could do was a graceless flight from charges that he conspired to murder his 6 1/2-months-pregnant girlfriend...
