  • Mr. Showbiz critic Richard Jameson has listed Dogma as #6 on his Top 10 Flicks Of 1999.
  • Dogma made UK’s “The Guardian” newspaper late last week with a couple of “awards”: “Best Icon Scene” for the unveiling of the Buddy Christ, and “Best Airport Scene”.
  • The Herald-Sun (Melbourne, Australia’s biggset newspaper) has placed Dogma at Number 6 on its most anticipated movies of 2000.
  • What’s Salma Hayek up to RIGHT NOW? Wouldn’t you like to know. Actually, her next flick, “Chain Of Fools”, has just had its official site opened. Nothing more than a “Coming Soon” with a cool shadowy logo there right now, but ya may wanna keep your eyes peeled.

  • Weekend update time. Got a couple good ones for ya today, especially our stop story, which really caught us by surprise. Also, be sure and vote on the new poll topic, it’s a bit early since we neglected to change it last week. Sorry about that. Other than that, there’s not much to say. Caught “Magnolia” last night – It certainly could benefit from some time trimming, but there’s some wonderful performances in the film, including Tom Cruise and especially Julianne Moore. Worth a watch, but count on some serious seat fidgeting during the 3+ hours you’ll be sitting there.
