The moderator, Brother Shep, opened by reading a letter [Akil Al-Jundi] wrote on November 19, 1987, detailing his experience during the Attica uprising, which left at least 39 people dead and hundreds injured. "The negotiations stopped and the killing started. Once the tear gas dropped, everybody was incapacitated Then the shooting started!" the letter read. "A bullet entered my palm and blew out my hand. Bone, blood, nails, tendons, skin flew everywhere. When I lifted up my hand I could see through it! When he knew that you were genuine and about something, particularly the prison struggle, Akil would be there for you," mentioned one of Akil's attorneys, Bob Boile. "It meant a lot to the prisoners that he would take the time out to go up there and spend time with them. He was committ...

In the mid- 1930s, she's back in Paris singing in the street when she's spotted by impresario Louis Leplée (Gérard Depardieu). The nightclub that Leplée owns - one of numerous locales brought to fevered, teeming life by production designer Olivier Raoux - draws both upper-class and lower-class patrons, a convergence that allows [Edith Piaf] to begin making the transition from demimonde to high society, and from entertainer to artiste (and, eventually, revered national icon). Irked by her deceptive suitor, [Linda Riss] became engaged to another guy. Enraged, and determined that no man would have her if he couldn't, [Burt Pugach] hired a thug who rang Linda's doorbell and threw lye in her face when she answered, disfiguring her and leaving her nearly blind. In Act 2, the seeing-impairëd -...

OPENING THIS WEEK (2.5 Chiles) CREATION Before the Monkey Trial, before Intelligent Design and Pat Robertson and the Bush Administration, there was a face-off between God and Science in the household of Charles Darwin (Paul Bettany). Emma Darwin (Jennifer Connelly) was a devout and literal Christian who believed that her husband's theories on evolution put his immortal soul in jeopardy. In Jon Amiel's movie, Darwin's seminal proposal is proffered as the backdrop of a family drama steeped in romance, angst, despair, joy, guilt, and pathos. Some good acting and fine cinematography are watered down in a tepid yawner that moves with the speed of natural selection but without its sense of purpose. Rated PG-13. 108 minutes. CCA Cinematheque, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards)

Santa Fe is a beautiful town, spilling over with art, culture, distinctive architecture, hot chile, turquoise and multicultural quaintness. But scratch the Historic Design Review Board-approved surface of Santa Fe and you'll find that Santa Fe and its surrounding area has a dark side. Songwriter Tom Russell wrote in "The Outcast" that "Your promised land was settled by bastards, drunks and thieves." Santa Fe certainly has had its share of those.

I am very happy to be back here," [Euzhan Palcy] said of Los Angeles. "There are some new people at the studios, and they seem to be very receptive to the stories I would like to tell." It seems that finally the studios have caught up with Palcy, the "people's filmmaker," whose strategy is to make films that she herself can learn from, and in turn, share with the public. It's a winning combination that has earned her body of work classic status. This is the Euzhan Palcy brand. And no amount of money can purchase this trademark because it comes from her heart. LA moviegoers related to "A Dry White Season" so profoundly that following the* screening, they dialogued about how to go about getting the film rereleased so that today's younger generation can experience it. A similar cry evolve...
