By the way, I saw "Cookie's Fortune" this afternoon. In my opinion, it is the best movie that Robert Altman has made since "Nashville", and Patricia Neal and Glenn Close give the performances of their lives. The cast includes the formidably talented Julianne Moore, most recently of "Boogie Nights", the charismatic Charles S. Dutton, the elfin Liv Tyler, and such wonderful actors as Ned Beatty and Courtney B. Vance. I admit, I am an Altman fan, and really liked "Short Cuts" and "Pret-a-Porter", but I think that even those not so keen on Altman will appreciate this one, especially if they like Actor's Movie's...

I saw The Sixth Sense while I was away, and I think George gives a good appraisal, although I might show a bit more enthusiasm for Willis's performance, and give it the last quarter point, for a solid eight. I would suppose that he is also correct that it would be a good idea to review it after having gotten the ending.....It should be mentioned that Toni Colette (Muriel's Wedding) and Olivia Williams (Rushmore) co- star, and give good performances themselves; that there is a solider sense of place than is usual for one of these movies, of Philadelphia, of the boy's shabbily respectable world, and of parochial school; and that the contrast with Blair Witch is profound.....
