Everybody`s Famous (DVD)
Dominique Deruddere`s EVERYBODY`S FAMOUS, which was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2001 Academy Awards, is a charming Belgian film about the lengths to which people will go to achieve fame and fortune. Josse De Pauw stars as Jean, a factory worker who dreams about becoming a successful songwriter, supplying would-be hits to his daughter, Marva (Eva van der Gucht), whom he drags through talent contests in which she performs terribly. Marva has no self-confidence; overweight and antagonistic, she never pays much attention to her father`s schemes to make her a star. But everything changes when the factory closes down, Jean`s car conks out on a country road, and he receives help from a woman on a bicycle--who just happens to be the latest pop sensation, Debbie (Thekla Reuten). Jean sees his chance--he kidnaps Debbie, holding her hostage with a very strange ransom request. Writer-director Deruddere has fashioned an engaging comedy of desperation, filled with marvelous costumes, terrific music, and well-developed characters. Josse De Pauw is eminently likable as Jean, a proud man struggling to get ahead in life while his wife and daughter--and the world as a whole--mock him. Audiences will leave this film unable to get the chorus of Lucky Manuelo out of their heads.R"

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (DVD)
Of all the film versions of the famed 1881 gunfight, this one, starring Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday, probably has the highest testosterone quotient. Focusing on the friendship between the forthright, responsible sheriff and the risk-taking, consumptive gambler, it suggests that their relationship is based on this opposition of qualities. Wyatt`s stormy romance with gambler Laura Benbow (Rhonda Fleming) and Doc`s rivalry with Johnny Ringo (John Ireland) over the affections of local madam Kate Fisher (Jo Van Fleet) add to the tension preceding the final showdown. When Wyatt`s brothers, Tombstone lawmen, ask for his help in evening the odds against Ike Clanton (Lyle Bettger), his brothers, the McLowerys, and Johnny Ringo, Doc decides to join his friend. After Wyatt gets to town, he quickly puts a crimp in Ike`s cattle-rustling activities, which leads the outlaw to set him up for assassination. A mix-up leads to Wyatt`s youngest brother, Jimmy (Martin Milner), getting killed in Wyatt`s place. Doc tries to talk him out of revenge, but the enraged lawman will have none of it, and the scene is set for the historic final gun battle. This solid, well-made Western is hoisted by the fine screenplay by novelist Leon Uris and the charisma of the two stars, as well as an outstanding suporting cast, including Dennis Hopper, Jack Elam, Lee Van Cleef, Earl Holliman, and Kenneth Tobey.NR"
