# 600 OF FILM REVIEW...
Bedazzled
• Liz Hurley is the 'Princess of Darkness' in this divinely demonic comedy
as she attempts to steal the soul of luckless Brendan Fraser in this top
remake. Fraser feels the temperature rising as we quiz him on the making of the
movie. Excerpts online!
• Film of the Month – Purely
Belter
 • With his film
already touted as 'the next Billy Elliot', acclaimed director Mark
Herman (Brassed Off, Little Voice) talks about the challenges in
filming with two unknown leads, and why it's not just a movie about
football!
 The Hottest Stars
• Mark Wahlberg, Ryan Phillippe and Joshua Jackson step into the spotlight
in their respective new releases (The Yards, The Skulls and
Way of the Gun). Catch up with all three sizzlers!
 Michael Douglas /
Wonder Boys
• Just where the heck has he been? And why did no one see
this astounding movie when it was
first released in the US? Will it win an Oscar? Is he back for good this time?
We find out!
50 Years Of Film Review
• With a very special reprint of the very first copy of
Film Review included with Issue 600, we thought we
had to show off - just a bit - how the magazine has evolved through the
years
Spirit Level
• From the small screen to the silver screen - with Charlie's
Angels swooping down to a cinema near you, we take a lighter-hearted look
at those TV series that hoped to re-create the magic for movie audiences
Preview: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
• It's in Chinese. It's subtitled. It's not out until January. And it's a
martial arts movie. So why are we shouting about it from the hilltops so early?
Because it's fantastic!
Still Life: The Magnificent Seven
• A new feature looking at one image from a classic movie, and how it
affected the careers of its stars
