| | Glitter is a 2001 drama film produced by Twentieth Century Fox (see 2001 in film), starring Mariah Carey, centering on the life and times of a struggling singer from the early 1980s club music scene. | | | Various sources, including Carey herself, believe that the film and its accompanying soundtrack were commercial disappointments due to being released in close proximity to the September 11 terrorist attacks. | | | In the film, Billie's mother is black/latino, and her father is white. |

| | Amazon.com: Magnolia (2pc) (2000) : Video |
| | One of the best films of 1999, "Magnolia" conveys a moral without moralizing, is rich in metaphor and altogether captivating, with an ending that may take you aback, if indeed, you haven't been paying close attention (there are at least two clues during the film, admittedly obscure, but there nevertheless). | | | Now that I've seen "Magnolia" on video and have finally been able to philosophically, intellectually and logically string together its elements, there is no doubt that this is one of the most wonderful accomplishments on film ever made. | | | Whether you like the film on the whole or not, I guarantee that you won't be bored, which is the curse of all lousy movies. |

| | Amazon.com: Video: Speedway Junky (1999) |
| | It is also extremely derivative of countless earlier, and better, films, including its obvious main source of inspiration--John Schlesinger's 1969 Oscar winner "Midnight Cowboy." As for the performances, they are uneven, to say the least. | | | I've never recommended a DVD solely for the director's commentary before, but I'm doing just that with Nickolas Perry's "Speedway Junky" (1999). | | | As for the film's other problems, they are numerous and start with the weak screenplay, which ends by trashing the most sympathetic character in the film and then tacks on a happy ending that is unbelievable, to say the least. |

| | IGN: Purple Rain Review |
| | Following on the heels of the uber successful 1999, this album—and the accompanying film—proved once and for all that his purple majesty from Minneapolis was bona fide. | | | Coupled with the loping rhythm track and Prince's restrained nasal vocal tang, the song is one of the seminal numbers in his vast canon. | | | Given the quality of the songwriting and the almost uncanny timelessness of the music contained on Purple Rain, it's really hard to imagine somebody who has never heard a single note of this album. |
