...stores, on the Web and at conventions like last month's Anime Weekend Atlanta. But the form needed a blockbuster and a benediction from the critics. Enter Pokemon (nuff said) and Princess Mononoke, a daunting ecological epic by anime god Hayao Miyazaki, now being released by art-house arbiter Miramax Films. All the latter movie did, in 1997, was become the highest-grossing film in Japanese history (later topped only by Titanic...
...lightning has not struck the building. So I guess it's O.K. with the Lord." Smith, 29, had endured a rough six months, ever since the Catholic League, a lay group with 350,000 members and an intimidating letterhead, had pressured the Walt Disney Co. and its subsidiary Miramax Films to drop Dogma, Smith's rambunctious comedy about God, faith and a monster made of poop.

Harvey Weinstein, Miramax president, swoons over his proclaimed "Muse"--she's "beautiful," "talented," and "respected," he says, and the world nods in agreement. But how much of it is real--and how much is hallucination caused by that lack of oxygen? Look closer and the house of cards crumbles. Paltrow was "inconsolable" after...
Walking into the screening for Miramax's new release Music of the Heart, I actually contemplated selling the pass and booking it towards the Tower Records to buy the soundtrack instead. (I hear it's pretty good--'NSync has a song on it.) Seriously though, I really wasn't in the mood for tear-jerking scenes and cheesy life lessons.
