Wes Anderson’s third feature-length effort. The Royal
Tenenbaums, plays like a spin-off from the director’s last film,
1998’s sensational Rushmore. Though in no way related to its
now cult classic predecessor, there are a number of immediately
noticeable similarities between the two. Like Rushmore, the film
was co-written by Anderson and Owen Wilson.
Another obvious parallel is the painstaking design of every
scene, placing particular emphasis on the costumes and settings
that retlect the director’s highly stylized, retro approach. A
remarkable ensemble of actors, including Gene Hackman.
Anjelica Houston, Gwyneth Paltrow. Ben Stiller, Bill Murray and
Luke and Owen Wilson, supplements the film's distinctive look
and allows the movie to narrow its focus to the characters and
their quirks. The Tenenbaum family is a group of oddballs, and
nowhere is this more apparent than in their attire. What makes

Orange County
Directed by Jake Kasdan
Starring: Jack Black, Colin Hanks
MTV Films
Orange County succeeds in being both funny and uplifting.
The plot revolves around the main character, Shaun (Hanks),
who is trying to get into Stanford to study with the writer who
inspired him to pick up the pen. Unfortunately, his guidance
counselor sends the wrong transcript, sinking Shaun’s efforts.
With the help of his brother, (Black) Shaun sets off to make a
personal visit to the dean of admissions to correct the situation.
Black’s performance is hilarious, not to mention immodest,
as he spends an enormous amount of film time in his under
wear. Black manages to steal the scene whenever he appears;
however, Hanks garners quite a few laughs himself. The film
manages to amuse without detracting from the plot or relying
entirely on slapstick humor. Unlike many comedies of today,
the funniest parts are not shown on the previews.
Despite the numerous mishaps that threaten to derail
Shaun’s efforts, the voyage becomes one of self-discovery, as

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Jay-Z and R. Kelly collaborate
for upcoming album
NEW YORK (AP) — Two heavyweights
of rap and R&B are teaming up for a joint
album and tour.
Rapper Jay-Z and singer R. Kelly, both
Grammy winners and multiplatinum
artists, have collaborated on the disc "The
Best of Both Worlds," which is scheduled
for release March 26.
They announced the project Thursday
at a grandiose, rambling news conference
JAY-Z
at The Waldorf-Astoria hotel that featured introductions
by Johnnie Cochran Jr. and testimonials from Sean "P.
Diddy" Combs and Ronald Isley of the Isley Brothers.
Members of their entourages sat nearby, dressed in fur
and sipping Cristal from gold-encrusted goblets.
They have previously collaborated on two hits: R.
Kelly's "Fiesta" remix and Jay-Z's "Not Guilty."
"It's like mad scientists in the basement," R. Kelly said.
"Jay is real creative, I'm real creative, and you wan!::
together and mix potions."
Jay-Z is on Def Jam Records while R. Kelly is or
Def Jam will promote the disc in the United State
Canada, while Jive will do so in the rest of
the world. While R&B and rap stars fre
quently do guest spots on each other's
records — such as Jennifer Lopez and Ja
Rule, and City High and Eve — a joint
album is rare.
The first single is the sexually explicit
"Honey," which played at the news event
as Combs, Cochran and others bobbed
their heads to the beat. When a reporter
asked what the album's message would be fory:
people, R. Kelly said: "This album is not Disneyland
up to the parents to bring the kids up the way
should."
Besides the album and upcoming tour, the twe
announced they would headline an all-star Urban Aid
cert for LifeBeat to raise funds for AIDS charities.The
9 event will air live on BET from New York's Be
Theater, representatives said.
