MILLIONAIRE</U> (R)</FONT><FONT size=3> Is it possible this could be
the "Best Picture" Oscar winner?? It is certainly the favorite to be! I know it
sounds illogical with a title like that, and the fact that there is no
recognizable "Hollywood star" in it, but, we are living in extraordinary times
now, folks, where many <EM>formerly unattainable</EM> dreams are <U>now
reality</U>. This film about poverty and fantasy has captured the hearts and
minds of so many jaded people... It's about HOPE, and the incredible resiliance
of the human spirit. Expect the unexpected and you will be rewarded greatly!

size=3>Everyone is talking about <FONT size=4>MICKEY ROURKE'S</FONT> incredible
"come-back" performance in this one! The movie is a tough one to
watch sometimes. This world of semi-pro wrestling that the film inhabits is
not exactly sweetness and light. <FONT size=4>MARISA TOMEI'S</FONT>
Oscar-nominated performance as an ageing stripper who comes into the wrestler's
life is another remarkable aspect of this resonating film. Personally, I found
<FONT size=4>BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S</FONT> title song over the end credits to be a
haunting reminder of those lives lived on the fringe.<FONT size=4> HURRY!! ENDS
