Inside
- Olly Olly Oxen Free!! (Angela Campos Lab Tech)
remember when I was in elementary school and everyone would go out for recess. I sure miss recess – it was a cool part of the day. You could forget what you were doing in class, run outside, play kickball, red rover, jump rope, dodge ball, et cetera. It was an awesome release of test anxiety, friend trouble, or fear of cooties. Fifteen minutes every morning and half an hour at lunch, it wasgreat.

Scene
- Demme's `Blow' cracks under pressure (By JUDE SEYMOUR and MATT NANIA Scene Movie Critics)
For director Ted Demme, "Blow" represents much more than a movie "about a bunch of people smuggling drugs." He acquired the rights to the book by Bruce Porter six years ago. Demme was "completely hooked by the byline of the book. [That byline] was: how a small time boy, a high school football All-American, went on to be Pablo Escobar's right hand guy. Had about a 100 million dollars cash in two years and then lost it all. It was classic Shakespeare."

- Melodramatic plot elements invade `Gates' (By MARIO BIRD Scene Movie Critic)

Unfortunately, the above qualities do not a movie make, as writer-director Jean-Jacques Annaud ("Seven Years in Tibet") implies through his latest cinematic effort.
