...most extraordinary thing about the Beatles phenomenon is the unsurpassed ratio of good songs in their recorded output. OK, we wouldn't be talking about them at all if "Misery" had been their best bid for stardom. And of course, off-the-wall items such as "Wild Honey Pie" only make sense in a context such as the sprawling collage of the White Album...

...trend has been building for a few years, since Scream (1996) indicated that cheesy teenpix could cross the $100 million hurdle. Last summer's American Pie and The Blair Witch Project accelerated the no-star momentum. The town's easiest profits come from cheap movies with low aspirations and performers who look as if they'd just been kidnapped from the junior prom. Meanwhile, a platinum-card holder like Jim Carrey stumbles slightly with Me, Myself & Irene ($89 million) and pratfalls with Man on the Moon ($35 million). Last August, Bruce Willis rode a big winner in The Sixth Sense...
