Frequency
Starring: Dennis Quaid and
Jim Caviezel
Directed by: Gregory Hoblit
Frequency is an outstanding thriller filled with
strong performances and clever writing. Part sci
ence fiction, part mystery and part drama, this
movie is one of those films that actually delivers on
the promises made in its trailer.
Frank Sullivan (Quaid) is a lire fighter who died
in a warehouse fire in 1969. John Sullivan
(Caviezel), his son, now a policeman, finds Frank’s
old ham radio in 1999. A natural phenomenon al
lows the two to communicate through the radio,
even though they exist 30 years apart.
This communication changes the past, and sud
denly everything is different for John in the present.
He finds that he must solve crimes that are more than
30 years old while facing a danger in the present.
It is a very intelligent thriller that welcomes the
thinking person. However, it does not try to go over
audiences’ heads. Director Gregory Hoblit (Primal
Fear, Fallen) continues his string of big screen hits
with his best film yet. He manages to balance all of
this story’s many elements and build tension with a
subtlety that is sublime.
The story itself is amazing. The theme of a get
ting a second chance is great and the careful atten
tion to detail is also impressive.
However, this movie would not work without
the great performances by Quaid and Caviezel.
Quaid is one of the most underrated actors w orking.
and he delivers the goods in this film, tumingii
of his most illustrious performances.
Ca\ iezel, w ho turned in a star-making perfe
mance in The Thin Red Line, shows that he is dr
niteh one of the up-and-comers in movies.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actors
who star in TV and radio commercials
went on strike Monday, demanding a
bigger cut from the booming cable mar
ket, in the first major I loilywood walk
out in 12 years.
Chanting “Hey, hey, ho, ho, corporate
greed has got to go,” hundreds gathered
in a Los Angeles park and marched past
Wilshire Boulevard ad agencies. Sever
al hundred striking actors also rallied in
New York City.
The Screen Actors Guild and the
American Federation of Television &
Radio Artists, representing about
135,000 actors, authorized the strike.
Celebrities lent support to the com
mercial actors on both coasts.
“Actors are the nicest people in the
world, and they always give away the
store,” Richard Dreyfuss said at a ral
ly in New York. “It’s a habit we’ve got
to stop.”
The walkout centers on the pay struc
ture for commercials.
TV commercials oJTer actors a mini
mum of $478 for a day’s work. Actors
also get “pay-per-play” residuals of
roughly $50 to $ 120 each time a spot airs
on network television. When it comes to
cable TV commercials, however, actors
receive only a flat fee of $1,000 or less
for each 13-week run.
“Actors are the
nicest people in
the world and
they always give
away the store.”
— Richard Dreyfuss
Actor
Now, with two-thirds of all TV ads
now being made for cable, actors are de
manding that pay-per-play be extended
to cable as well: Advertisers, however.
want to extend the Hat fee from cable to
the networks
The current fee structure dates from
the 1950s and ’60s, when ABC, NBC
and CBS claimed up to 95 percent of
the audience. Nowadays, six networks
fight for 50 percent of the audience,
while cable and satellite channels claim
the rest.
SAG members last went on strike in
1988, a walkout that lasted three weeks.
That also was the year of I lollywood's
last major strike, the Writers Guild of
America’s 22-week w alkout, which cost
the industry an estimated $500 million.
Ad agencies have been stockpiling
commercials and will run some existing#
ads longer. They said they will also pro
duce new commercials using nonunion
actors or union members w illing to work
under the agencies’ terms.
That scares Ernest Logan, a young
Los Angeles actor who supports the
strike but is worried. “It’s scary because
I know there’s nonunion actors waiting
to jump on it,” he Said.
