Scary recommendations: Well, I guess it depends a lot on what type of scary you like. And what you've seen. There's gory scary, mental scary, tension scary, etc. The original Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street are always a good scary movie or two. Classic scary, Psycho. Modern scary, Scream. Really scary, Ishtar or Tank.

"Antz," a computer animated romantic comedy set in the insect world, earned about $15.4 million for the Friday-Sunday period, followed by Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" with $11.5 million. "What Dreams May Come," an afterlife romance starring Robin Williams, fell one place to third with $11.0 million. The only new wide release, "Holy Man" starring Eddie Murphy and Jeff Goldblum, debuted in fifth with a disappointing $5.2 million. The nightclub comedy "A Night at the Roxbury" held steady at fourth with $6.2 million. -=> * <=- NEW YORK (Reuters) - George Lucas' "Star Wars" tops Entertainment Weekly's list of the 100 best works of science fiction. The magazine says the 1977 film was "an Rx for a cynical audience numbed by everything from Vietnam to Watergate to drugs." No. 2 on the list is "Star Trek," followed by "The Twilight Zone," the book "Frankenstein," "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Metropolis," the 1938 movie version of "War of the Worlds," the 1956 and 1978 versions of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," the first two "Alien" movies and the comic book debut of Superman in 1938. The magazine says its rankings are based on a work's quality, influence on pop culture and impact on the collective imagination. -=> * <=- PARIS (Reuters) - A French teenage couple fascinated by the Hollywood film "Natural-born Killers" was sentenced to long prison terms Friday for killing a classmate in perverse circumstances. It was the second murder trial in Paris in recent weeks in which the Oliver Stone film about a couple who go on a killing spree was cited. The court at Bobigny in the Paris suburbs sent Veronique Hubert, 18 at the time of the 1996 killing, and her boyfriend Sebastien, then 17, to prison for terms of 18 and 15 years respectively. The court heard they intended to carry out several murders and were fascinated by "Natural born Killers." -=> * <=- Bruce Willis' Rational Packaging production company is making a movie out of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s 1973 novel "Breakfast of Champions." "This film is kind of outside the Hollywood box," Willis told the Los Angeles Times. "But every once in a while I've got to satisfy myself. I can count on one hand and not use my thumb the number of films in the last couple of years that I looked forward to going to work every day." "Breakfast" will also star Nick Nolte, Barbara Hershey and Albert Finney.

Laurence Olivier, Nicol Williamson, Mel Gibson and Kenneth Branagh have all played the melancholy Dane on screen. The new version will also star Kyle MacLachlan as Claudius and Bill Murray as Polonius. -=> * <=- "Holy Man," a critically panned comedy about a televangelist, grossed $5.2 million this past weekend for one of the worst debuts in Eddie Murphy's up-and-down career. It even did worse than two previous Murphy duds: "A Vampire in Brooklyn" ($7 million in 1995) and "Metro" ($11.4 million in 1997). The film's lackluster opening was even more surprising given Eddie's recent success with "Dr. Dolittle," which has grossed $142.2 million since June.

Screenplay: Akosua Busia, Richard LaGravenese and Adam Brooks, based on the novel by Toni Morrison. Producers: Edward Saxon, Jonathan Demme, Gary Goetzman, Oprah Winfrey and Kate Forte. Director: Jonathan Demme. MPAA Rating: R (adult themes, nudity, sexual situations, violence) Running Time: 172 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw. BELOVED doesn't feel like a typical Oscar-hyped fall "prestige release," full of cathartic emotion and earnest dignity. Its opening minutes portend something quite different: two silent exterior shots, one tracking through a graveyard and the other establishing a rural Ohio home, shift to a scene of sheer supernatural terror. Inside the home, a woman named Sethe (Oprah Winfrey) and her three children cringe in fear as the family dog spins through the air, an eye torn out and a leg broken by an anguished spirit. We learn that the entity is the ghost of another daughter, who has haunted the house long enough for the latest event to drive the two boys away from home. So much for earnest dignity; this is a prestige release as American gothic horror film. That shouldn't be terribly surprising coming from director Jonathan Demme, who turned 1991's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS into an Oscar-winning prestige release. Yet this is no more a conventional thriller than it is a conventional epic drama, though it incorporates elements of both. The bulk of the film takes place eight years after that prologue sequence, when the arrival of two strangers shake up the isolated lives of Sethe and her remaining daughter Denver (Kimberly Elise). Paul D (Danny Glover), a former slave with Sethe on the Sweet Home plantation, provides a companionship Sethe hasn't known for years. The other arrival is more mysterious, a child-like woman calling herself Beloved (Thandie Newton). Their interaction, interwoven with selected flashbacks, turns BELOVED into a complex ghost story in which the ghosts take on many forms, attacking both from without and from within. It's what BELOVED does with the idea of a ghost story that made Toni Morrison's novel so powerful, and makes Demme's film so gripping. The true horror in the story is Sethe's past, the painful and humiliating past of all slaves which involved so many horrifying events. Most film-makers would have taken those events and shown them off with sincere indignation. The images created by Demme and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto are jittery and chilling, designed more to invade the sub-conscious than to inspire tight-lipped head-shaking. Beloved appears initially as a sort of earth-spirit, covered with insects; the bright ribbons of a family celebration become a lingering symbol of decayed hopes. With Oprah Winfrey effectively conveying Sethe's hollow-eyed resignation, BELOVED shows how a tormented past can corrupt the present to the point that it feels perpetually haunted, holding meaning only as a constant reminder of unforgettable evils. If BELOVED had intended merely to shock and dismay, it would have been a very shallow and disspiriting experience. Instead, it becomes a call to the living to dare existing in the present, conveyed through two supporting characters marvelously performed. Kimberly Elise takes Denver on a journey from trying to re-capture her own past -- treating Beloved both as her own child and as the sister she never knew -- to shaking herself and Sethe into a desire for survival. Stronger still is the bright angel of the deceased Baby Suggs (Beah Richards), Denver's paternal grandmother and the spiritual leader of her community. Her glorious sermons, which call all around to celebrate their bodies even as they acknowledge sorrow, provide stirring punctuation for this tale. As counterpoint to Sethe's inability to forgive herself, Baby Suggs enjoins her listeners to "kiss your hands; love your heart." BELOVED is such a side-ranging story that it's bound to feel slightly disjointed at times. The flashback to Sethe's escape from Sweet Home feels particularly drawn out, slowing down a nearly three-hour film. It's impressive, however, that three different screenwriters could create so cohesive an adaptation. Demme infuses BELOVED with the feverish intensity of a recurring nightmare, then leaves us with hope of awakening to a new day. There is emotion, yes, and dignity; there is also evil, and even horror. I can only think of one way to categorize a film like BELOVED: it may be the most uplifting horror film you'll ever see. On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 immortal beloveds: 9. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit Scott Renshaw's MoviePage http://www.inconnect.com/~renshaw/ *** Subscribe to receive new reviews directly by email!

Actually in "Freddy's Dead" Johnny Depp reprises his role from the original Nightmare on Elm Street in a quick extremely funny cameo, and his character was dead. For a very strange scary movie rent "Parents" at least I'm 90% sure that's what it's called. It stars Randy Quaid. It's about a son who suspects that the meat that his parents is always eating (and serving to him) might be human. This is more of the disturbing kind of horror with a little gore.

The computer-animated action comedy has gathered $36.3 million in 10 days, and appears on track to gross between $80 million and $100 million domestically. The film dropped just 11% from last weekend, after expanding its run by 364 theaters to 2,813. The weekend's only wide newcomer, Disney's new age satire "Holy Man," bowed in fifth place with a dispiriting $5.2 million. In 2,013 shrines, the Eddie Murphy comedy averaged just $2,583 per site. -=> * <=- HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Danny DeVito is in negotiations to direct and play a supporting role in DreamWorks' remake of the 1941 comedy feature "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Originally a George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart stage play, the satirical tale revolves around a bombastic talk show host who returns to his Midwestern alma mater in order to accept an award. He wreaks havoc on the lives of the unfortunate, wealthy family with whom he is staying after he is forced to recuperate from an injury. DeVito, who last directed "Matilda" (which he produced and co-starred in), will take on the supporting role of Ed Stanley. No other cast members have been attached. -=> * <=- NEW YORK (Variety) - German model Claudia Schiffer will join Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. and Elijah Wood and Gaby Hoffman in "Black and White." The picture is about a group of white high school teens and their excursions into the lives of Harlem's black hip-hop crowd. James Toback ("Two Girls and a Guy") directs. Schiffer recently starred with Matthew Modine in "Blackout" for director Abel Ferrara and with Downey in "Friends & Lovers," which will be released next spring. -=> * <=- Garth Brooks will produce but not star in a movie project with Kenny (Babyface) Edmonds. "The Lamb," a psychological thriller about an overzealous female fan and the effect a superstar musician has on her life, will offer moviegoers a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a high-powered music tour, said Brooks' producing partner, Lisa Sanderson. Brooks has expressed an interest in acting but has never appeared in a feature film.
