...movie gives not a clue. Jack Nicholson looks eerily like his subject, and he has the abrupt gestures and staccato voice of a man who overcomes lack of eloquence by force of will. But director Danny DeVito, who also plays Hoffa's closest ally, gets way too fond of slo-mo shots and swooping cameras; instead of a hard-edge portrait, we get painting on velvet. It's epic-style vamping around the void of epic character...

Julie Salamon, film critic of the Wall Street Journal, got to watch the accident in slo-mo close-up. In The Devil's Candy: The Bonfire of the Vanities Goes to Hollywood (Houghton Mifflin; $24.95), she tracks all the bollixed decisions that made the bosses at Warner Bros. wonder why they green-lighted Bonfire and vetoed Home Alone, and director Brian De Palma feel like an Iraqi army general. "He couldn't imagine," Salamon writes, "what it would be like to go through all this for a bad movie...
...realm of Brabant. The composer's scenario is full of feudal warfare and knightly swordplay. But Wilson, whose career has included such mesmerizing efforts as Einstein on the Beach and the CIVIL warS, avoids conventional stage action, particularly the use of arms and hands. So this is a slo-mo Lohengrin with formalized gestures that recall tai chi. In place of the banks of the River Scheldt are huge, gradually shifting columns of light. It is a tribute to Wilson's dramatic cunning that the production is a striking success. The stylized motion and lighting intensify the visceral excitement...
...just me?" For several months, that question has been nagging at millions of Americans as the U.S. economy poked along in the slow lane. From New England computer makers to California missile builders, many industries that boomed in the go-go '80s have slumped in the slo-mo '90s.
