...Sunday afternoon when I met the young trio of actors who fill out the second generation in the cast of American Beauty. Certainly, I could have picked the three, um, American beauties out of a lineup--all striking examples of uncommon poise. Petite and chatty, Mena Suvari (teenage lust object Angela Hayes in the film) appeared with a surprisingly modest brunette dye job which only partially belied the model-quality good looks that garnered her roles in both "American" movies this summer, both this one and American Pie. With unshaven, not-quite-ratty stubble that gave him the look...
...episode of Unsolved Mysteries. The fear of the movie's characters is raw and brutal, but the fear of the audience members is dulled by the absence of any emotional involvement in the film. Perhaps if writers/directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez had instructed their dazed and confused trio to put down the cameras for a moment and just talk, we would have had some emotional stake in the film.

"Club d'Elf" performs mind-expanding electronica on Thursdays while Sundays see one of the best poetry jams in town, accompanied by the smooth Jeff Robinson Trio. Anyone can have a go: the atmosphere is hip yet forgiving...
First there was Arlene. Then Bret bowled into Texas. After that there were a few sputterers ? Cindy, Dennis and Emily. And then there is the furious Floyd (trailed closely by Gert, with Harvey hovering in the distance). What's going on here? Another trio of hurricanes lining up to take a punch at the United States? Sure, it's hurricane season, but why are there so many storms and why is this one so powerful? Is it just coincidence, or has humanity's abuse of the earth ? in the form of global warming ? come back to haunt...
