...full of dots--GTA3 is set in Liberty City, a metropolis as realistic and richly detailed as Dickens' London, with weather that changes hourly and carefully rendered litter tumbling down its meticulously drawn streets. Most video games give you a challenge, like eating all the dots while dodging hungry pastel-colored ghosts. In GTA3, your problems are real-world problems, like parallel parking...
...teacher - a role that was much sought after by British actors last year. "It's rather winning," says Branagh of the character, "his combination of total confidence with an absolute absence of talent."

No teen realism here, just a romp through the pastel homes and matching mother-daughter outfits of a more naive era. No anxious parental conflict, at least when Tracy's mom is played by Divine, the 300-lb. actor who always looks the height of fashion in a housedress (it was the drag diva's seventh and last Waters film; he died...
