SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 23, 2000 -- "Scream 3" and "Titus" haven't hit the shelves of video stores yet, but if you stop off at the market on your way home today, you might be able to buy them. But bring your inheritance, because they'll probably cost you six figures. The horror hit and the Shakespearean tragedy are just two of the roughly 350 movies that are up for grabs (that is, if you happen to be an overseas film distributor) at the market -- the American Film Market, that is -- the annua

Just one day after ABC announced its surprising fall 2001 lineup, CBS followed suit Wednesday with some curveballs of its own.
The Eye Network will bring back 16 primetime programs, CBS President Les Moonves announced Wednesday - including Survivor, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Everybody Loves Raymond and Judging Amy - and also will introduce eight new series starring some of Hollywood's heavyweights.
Survivor and CSI will remain Thursday's double-threat, and the Monday lineup of strong

HOLLYWOOD, May 28, 2000 -- Well, the 1999-2000 TV season is finally, officially over. But don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you have to go out into the sunshine or pick up a good book to read at night. There’s no need to panic. TV has not deserted you. Just think of summer as your chance to watch all the shows you missed while watching “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” or “The 10th Kingdom.” Here's a look at the tube the week ahead: Showtime comes aboard the miniseries train with “On the Beach” (8

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 7, 2000 -- Is George Clooney's "Fail Safe" fail safe? CBS officials hope so. But just in case, they've got a Plan B. Producers say the cast and crew of the Clooney-produced, two-hour teleplay -- to hit the airwaves live on Sunday -- will gather on Saturday to tape a performance. Just in case. "Fail Safe" is a remake of the 1964 movie (the hyphenated "Fail-Safe") which itself was an adaptation of the Cold War-era novel about a nuclear bomb that's dispatched toward Mos

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 7, 2000 - They haven't come close to cracking the Billboard Top 100, but the Beta Band are suddenly enjoying the perks of membership in a much cooler list: Top Five Bands. According to John Cusack, anyway. If you haven't heard of the Beta Band, you're not alone - either that, or you just haven't seen "High Fidelity," in which Cusack plays the owner of a super-hip, indie-minded Chicago record store. In a scene that's as close to free advertising as you can get, Cusack

LOS ANGELES, March 20, 2000 -- There are deadheads. And then there are Oscarheads. Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium Call them fanatics, devotees, or even fools, but nothing -- neither puzzled stares, physical discomfort nor gusting wind -- is going to quell the insistent fervor of Oscar diehard fans. Don't believe? Just cruise down to the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium and witness the long row of tents, beach chairs, and sleeping bags neatly adorning the sidewalk. While construction crews began
