NEW YORK (CNS) -- The fol-
lowing are capsule reviews of
movies recently reviewed by the
U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC)
Office for Film and Broadcasting.
Ratings are also given by the
Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA).
"Beaumarchais, The
Scoundrel" (New Yorker)
Elaborate historical romp
recounts the romantic and polit-
ical exploits of the rakish 18th-
century playwright (Fabrice
Luchini) who, in addition to
being jailed for ridiculing the
French aristocracy, was an
inventor, a magistrate, a spy and
gun runner for American revo-
lutionaries. Director Edouard
Molinari's giddy approach to
the title character's busy life
unreels as a series of breathless
misadventures without reveal=
ing much of Beaumarchais'
character or motivations. Subti-
tles. Some sexual innuendo,
fleeting nudity and an instance

"Show Me Love" is the current chart hit off the
debut CD by Robyn, the singer not the bird.
So what would you do if someone said to you,
"Show me love, show me life"? What responses
would teach another the essence of love?
The young woman in the song sees that her atti-
tude has been a block to love: "Always been told that
• I've got too much pride, too independent to have you
by my side." However, she "never thought I would
meet someone like you," and asks her new boyfriend
to "show me love and what it's all about."
I suspect the song refers to romantic love. How-
ever, love is more than romance. It is also commit -•
ment, trust and open-hearted vulnerability. Consider
these important ways of loying:
1. Be observant. Many times, opportunities to be
loving toward others spontaneously appear. You
notice a classmate struggling to get a program to run
on the computer. Sure, class is over, and it's time to
meet your friends in the cafeteria. Forgoing this social
time to be of service to a classmate brings love into
his or her life.
of rough language. The USCC
classification is A-lII adults.
Not rated by the MPAA.
"Eve's Bayou" (Trimark)
Poignant drama set in 1962
Louisiana where a precocious
10-year-old (Jurnee Smollett)
observes how her family is
affected by the womanizing of
her prosperous doctor father
(Samuel L. Jackson), which cul-
minates in a violent tragedy.
Writer-director Kasi Lemmons'
beautifully lyric tale probes
human failings, though the
results are marred by the
action's melodramatic treat-
ment. Mature theme of adultery,
fleeting sexual encounter, brief
violence, intermittent rough lan-
guage and profanity. The USCC
classification is A-Ill -- adults.
The MPAA rating is R
restricted.
"I Love You, I Love You Not" •
(Avalanche)
Wispy portrait of a bookish
high school student (Claire
Danes) whose emotional inse-
curities get in the way when she
begins dating the school's heart-
throb (Jude Law), despite the
unconditional moral support of
her loving grandmother (Jeanne
Moreau), a Holocaust survivor.
Director BiRyHopkins tends to
sen timentalize the problems of
adolescence as well as the stu-
dent's grappling with her Jew-
ish identity, and the result is dis-
appointingly superficial in its
reliance on glossy visuals and
slick melodramatics. Stark
Holocaust images, sexual innu-
endo, occasional rough lan-
guage and an instance of pro-
fanity. The USCC classification
is A-III -- adults. Not rated by
the MPAA.
"Mad City" (Warner Bros.)
Dreary drama in which a fired
museum guard (John Travolta)
impulsively takes his boss and
visiting children hostage, then
unwittingly allows an ambi-
tious TV reporter (Dustin Hoff-
man) to manipulate the situa-
tion to advance his flagging
career. Director Costa-Gavras
offers nothing new or insightful
in this drawn-out tale showing
the media's role in shaping
breaking news. Brief violence,
occasional profanity and an
instance of rough language. The
USCC classification is A-III
adults. The MPAA rating is PC-
13 parents are strongly cau-
tioned that some material may
be inappropriate for children
under 13.
"Nick and Jane" (Avalanche)
Lame romantic comedy in
which a New York business-
woman (Dana Wheeler-Nichol-
son) tries to make her woman-
izing boyfriend (John Dossett)

5. Be prayerful. This could be placed

emphasize this: Praying for someone is a
way to love.
I especially encourage teens to pray f

way for God's healing. Be that avenue
for others.
Your comments are always welcome.
Charlie Martin, 7125 W 200S, Rockport,
jealous by paying, a sensitive
cabby (James McCaffrey) to
masquerade as her lover, with
unsurprising results. Writer-
director Richard Mauro strings
out a weak plot with a collec-
tion of odd-ball characters,
such as the cabby's rapper
roommate (Gedde Watanabe)
and transvestite neighbor
(Clinton Leupp), but the result
is an urban fantasy that deliv-
ers a few giggles but lacks any
romantic charm. Sexual situa-
tions, gay stereotypes and occa-
sional rough language. The
USCC classification is A-IV --
adults, with reservations. The
MPAA rating is R -- restricted.
"Switchback" (Paramount)
Grim thriller in which a
relentless FBI agent (Dennis
Quaid) tracks a cunning serial
killer (Danny Clover) whohas
kidnapped the agent's child
while on a cross-country killing
spree. Glover's chilling por-
trayal of an unpredictable psy-
chopath helps compensate for
the far-fetched plotting in
