Grand cast fails to save graceless 'Heart'
Remember the stomach-turning scene in "Cape Fear" where Robert De Niro's character, in psycho mode, chews off a woman's cheek?
Illeana Douglas played the victim in that breakthrough film, and she reprises the wronged-woman role in "Grace of My Heart." Eric Stoltz cheats on her, Bruce Davison cheats on his wife with her, and Matt Dillon makes an ungraceful exit before she realizes that she has cheated herself out of real happiness.
Berry's 'Wife' wishes for too much
Exiting the theater at the end of the hall with "The Rich Man's Wife" emblazoned above the door, I am disaffected by having just survived sheer torture at the hands of Halle Berry. But through my boredom, one pressing question arises.

R.E.M. cashes in with 'New Adventures in Hi-Fi'
R.E.M. is cashing in.
The band's latest release, "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" (HH, Warner Bros.), would be more aptly titled "Old Rehashes from the R.E.M. Songbook." With its collection of 14 tracks recorded at soundchecks, dressing rooms and a few studios, the record sounds like a b-sides compilation with some new material, but mostly re-used riffs and even alternate versions of R.E.M. classics.
