...Grossman has a spare $10 per month, I have two additional words for him: Netflix Instant [May 12]. Despite the fact that I don't subscribe to HBO or Showtime, I have watched all Sopranos episodes and two seasons of Weeds, have caught up on early episodes of 30 Rock, old movies and myriad other programs. Who needs a TV, indeed? Liz White, LOS ANGELES...
...elementary school was destroyed, taking with it the lives of more than 400 students. The green mountains that surround the town look as if they have been clawed by angry giants; landslides have stripped the slopes bare, burying roads and dumping tons of rock and soil into the nearby Min River. At one entrance to the town a raised highway has been cut down like a ribbon. At the other end a car sits in an intersection, crushed by a boulder.

...Start with a big bang, end with terrifying mysticism. The creation of these movies always has this method: start with the opening and climactic sequences - in Raiders' case, the South American cave with the rolling rock and the opening of the Ark with the melting skulls - and work inward. (Or as Spielberg says on the new Last Crusade DVD: "How do we fill in the middle?") Here, the bang couldn't be bigger. The 12 min. opener takes Indy into Area 51, where he escapes into what seems to be an ideal Levittown ... except that the people are mannequins...
