Editorial Product Review: :'Ladies and gentlemen, the motion picture you are about to see is called The Naked City.' With a helicopter shot slowly closing in on Manhattan, producer Mark Hellinger's staccato narration introduces the film ('It was not photographed in a studio . . .') and continues throughout like a documentary commentator with a literary flair. It's a conceit that serves this police story nicely, giving the patina of realism to this deglamorized look at the work of the homicide squad. Barry Fitzgerald reigns over the film with his jovial good humor ...
Editorial Product Review: essential video:Few actors invoking the title of their film as a line of dialogue have had quite the shattering effect that Christopher Walken does in this 1982, hour-long film by Jonathan Demme. As the painfully, painfully shy small-town fellow who comes to vivid life as the perpetual lead in community-theater productions, Walken's character breaks one's heart when he is asked to give his all yet again in another thespian triumph. This time, however, things are different: he meets his female counterpart in Susan Sarandon's equally retiring amateur actress. The ...

Editorial Product Review: :Rita Hayworth really was a screen goddess in the late 1940s--so why not cast her as Terpsichore, the goddess of dance? That's the premise of this splashy Technicolor musical, which borrows some devices (and cast members) from Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Rita descends to earth to inject authenticity into a Broadway show about Terpsichore, posing as an actress and turning the head of impresario Larry Parks (then in the brief moment between his Jolson Story smash and his blacklisting). This leads to an overblown, pretentious out-of-town tryout, an amusing sequence ...

Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
