Low down 'Jackie Brown': Tarantino's latest disappoints

If it looks like a Tarantino film, talks like a Tarantino film and is more than 2 1/2 hours, like a Tarantino film, then it's safe to assume that it is a Tarantino film. And Quentin Tarantino's latest, "Jackie Brown," an ultra-cool, jive-talking crime comedy, is indeed a Tarantino film - too bad it's just not a good one.

Soft 'Scream' sequel still thrilling

I scream, you scream. We all scream for scary movies. And let's face it - when the first "Scream" came out late in 1996, there had been a dearth of those classic teen slasher flicks for many years. But with that single film, the horror industry was seemingly revitalized, and now we're faced with a string of copycat teenybopper thrillers such as "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and now "Scream 2," the highly anticipated sequel to that visionary film.

Hot 'Minigolf' game combats cold

Is there anything more fun than a few rounds of putt-putt? (Okay, maybe there is, but go along with me on this one.) But with the cold weather settling in, we may not be able to enjoy this great pastime. But wait - thanks to those great programmers at Sierra, we can putt-putt all winter long and never leave the room. "3-D Ultra Minigolf" is certainly hot enough to combat the cold weather. This game is by far one of the best golf simulators to hit the market. The premise is simple: put the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible.
