...with acrid smoke and more than 70 shells scattered on the floor. By the time he ran out the door moments later, a 68-year-old receptionist, a 16-year-old camp counselor at the day-care center and three children were wounded. "Just shooting like a maniac," says Victor Ruelas, 19, a maintenance worker who carried the most seriously wounded of the children, Benjamin Kadish, 5, to safety. When told of the extent of the boy's injuries, Ruelas hung his head. "I didn't know he was shot in the back...
Sidney Pollack, the film director, who replaced Harvey Keitel as Victor Ziegler, the character who ties together all the evil that Cruise's character discovers and who is the most significant addition to the original story, observes that "Stanley had figured out a way to work in England for a fraction of what we pay here. While the rest of us poor bastards are able to get 16 weeks of filming for $70 million with a $20 million star, Stanley could get 45 weeks of shooting for $65 million."

Indeed, the hottest writer of treatments in Hollywood (as he was three years ago) is that high-concept old guy Shakespeare. Keanu Reeves in Shamela? Bette Midler and Stephen Dorff...
...Slackers from Hellcat Records, a label synonymous with new up-and-coming ska bands, have recently followed up their first two records, Better Late than Never and Redlight, with The Question. If you are already a fan of theirs, you will not be disappointed. Victor Ruggiero still leads The Slackers with his sexy, scratchy voice, and they still pump out that strong reggae-ska-calypso-swing beat. The Question, being their third record since 1990, exhibits a progression towards integrating new diverse sounds, influenced by jazz, mambo, R&B and soul, into their traditional style.
