...Scream should be revered for its witty originality in jumpstarting the horror genre, I Know What You Did Last Summer should be deplored for stalling it with shocking stupidity. The movie tracks the lives of four kids in a quaint northeastern port the summer after they apparently run over the town recluse.

There had not been a day in the 11 years Mir had flown that a sleeping Soyuz hadn't been parked at its docking port, ready to carry the crew back to Earth in the event of an emergency. But in those 11 years, there hadn't been a day when such an emergency had actually arisen. Now it looked as if it were going to, and it would be Michael Foale, the American guest, who would have...
