许氏三兄弟主演,许冠文编剧的本片,剧情简单,许冠文是娱乐周刊的社长,为了挽救将倒闭的杂志社,费尽心思发掘消息。影片中许依旧是刻薄的老板,许冠杰仍是身手不凡的醒目仔,许冠英依然傻得惹人可怜。本片始终对时代有一定的触觉,明星绯闻,美容隆胸,卡拉OK这些新兴事物为影片制造了不少乐趣。陈欣健执导手法与许氏相近,同样以演员的表演作主导,并以此为剧情的重心。影片虽然能触及社会问题,但深度不够,未能自我突破。

根据美国的一个真实案件改编的一部电视电影,HBO出品。
McMartin一家本来经营着一家学前儿童学校,是由外祖母传办的。有一个小孩的母亲到警察局控告McMartin家的孙子,也是这间学校的老师之一,对她2岁半的儿子性骚扰。警察要求其他的学生家长询问自己的孩子是否也受到过这样的性骚扰,一开始似乎没有什麽结果。后来这些家长把孩子带到一家类似儿童治疗中心的地方,在那里的工作人员的诱导下,很多孩子都说在那间学校收到过性骚扰。结果McMartin一家,包括祖母,母亲,孙子,孙女,还有其它三名女教师都被捕入狱,因为大家相信孩子是不会编造这样的谎言的。然而他们没有想到的是,这些孩子虽然不会编造谎言,但是有可能在大人的诱导之下说出谎言。那家治疗中心根本就很不专业,他们诱导孩子的过程跟诱供差不多。然而一开始的时候,大家都被这桩让人感到发指的案件冲昏了头,认定McMartin一家是恶魔。有一名律师一开始主要为了出名才帮助McMartin家辩护,他也认为他们是有罪的。但是随着案件的展开,很多疑点暴露出来,他逐渐开始信任McMartin一家,并且和他们一起在逆境中抗争,经过长达7年的诉讼,1990年1月18日终于还之以清白。然而这一家人的生活毕竟给毁掉了,他们在这一过程中所受到的心灵上的伤害,是无法弥补的。

The Art of Piano
7.6 (5 ratings) director: Donald Sturrock actor: 克劳迪奥·阿劳 / Wilhelm Backhaus
other title: 钢琴的艺术 / 钢琴的艺术 - 二十世纪的钢琴大师们
The Art of the Piano is a feature-length, 106-minute documentary that presents in refreshingly straightforward fashion a portrait of 20th-century piano playing. The format is simple: short segments on virtually all of the great pianists who have ever been captured on film, augmented by extracts from interviews, sometimes with the pianists themselves, or with later conductors and musicians of international stature, including specially filmed contributions from Daniel Barenboim, Sir Colin Davis, Evgeny Kissin, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, and Tamás Vásáry. The narration by John Tusa offers an overview of piano music through the century, though the heart of the film is the great quantity of rare archive historic footage, with extracts from performances by Gould, Horowitz, Paderwski, Rachmaninoff, Richter, Rubinstein, and many others. The interviews are short, but offer considerable insight, while the film of so many revered pianists brought together is a literal eye-opener, especially for those who have previously only known these masters from LP and CD. This is, like the companion program The Art of Singing, as close to definitive as a single film can get, even going so far as to include footage from the "silent" era with sound from corresponding recordings. --Gary S.
