the Net."

Slater starred in.
Ben
Stiller
From Warner Bros.' Alt.Culture site. A brief biography.
Kiefer
Sutherland
The only page about Kiefer on the web, it's also one
of the simplest. The author collects all sorts

more informative.

Bio page From Reinelily's Billybobapalooza.
Sign up for Planet Billy Bob, the mailing list.

fair multimedia collection with Halle Berry
icons.

Very detailed biography, haphazard layout. Extensive
photo gallery, but lacking that shot
from The Deep.
Sandra
Bullock
From "Cyd." An astounding wealth of news
housed on the homepage, with links to

News page from Per Gøtterup's site.
Articles, photos, multimedia, and an option to upload
your own files.
Jennifer
Connelly
Read the author's thoughts
about the actress and her work. Photos, news, bio,
filmography, and RealVideo files. The blue text
on blue background has to go, however.
Courteney

A relatively bare-bones effort for this Friends
and Scream star. Highlights
include an extensive gallery of photos and alternate
versions in French and German.
Ellen
DeGeneres
From Linda Hillier. The news page from The
Aussie
Ellen DeGeneres Page. The site contains some
great fan insights into Ellen's coming out,
but very poor design.

The best source of Diaz info on the Web, though
borders on sexist and obsessive. Fake nudes.

News page from official

Gushy official fansite for the young star.
Contest starts in late January, 1999.
Holly
Hunter
Rough design, a little too gushy, but obviously
a labor of love. Contains the requisite bio,
picture gallery, and news. Hasn't been updated since
March 1997, but still the "premiere"
Holly site.
Catherine
Zeta Jones
From "Terjes." The only Zeta Jones gallery
on the web, so far. Also sports a
filmography.
Ashley
Judd
(Java.) Excellent summary of montly updates on the
news page. I'd lose the picture of Judd holding
a gun to her head.

Kelly
Professional logo and design. Clean layout, movie
write-ups, and photos highlight an otherwise
sparse site.

site. Filmography, gallery, and multimedia.
Could use updating.

to get that haunting image that graces every
page out of my head.

gallery, a message board, and a chat room. News
needs to be beefed up.

and Polish.

area.

star. Great gallery,
informative bio, needs updating.
Winona
Ryder
Peter's "Wynona Illustrated" site. Latest
news, extensive picture gallery,
detailed bio. Slow loading.
Susan

gallery.

of Woo and Jason's Lyric.
Emma
Thompson
Bio page from Steven Mulder's Emma

picture gallery and multimedia
archive.

homepage. Includes stage appearances and two
addresses for fan letters.

Weaver
A gushy fan paeon to Sigourney Weaver.

site. Inexplicably, the picture gallery is password-protected.

week, download section, the obligatory gallery
and news, and a search engine. Also features a Members
Only section.

Kong vs. Hollywood" and
"Australian Cinema and National Identity").
Also features the "obligatory Jaws
page."
FilmFrog
Spotlights classic Hollywood films that are "strong
examples of the system at its
best." Especially handy -- a guide
to movies on TV, especially channels like American
Movie Classics and Turner Classic Movies.
Great
Scenes from Great Movies
Slow server. Fan Mike Ross has assembled a few
scenes, audio files, and links to Bond Movies,
Star Wars, The Shining, The Graduate,
and others. Could use
expanding.
The
Hard Boiled Movie Page
Fan critic Steve Kong, self-styled "honest
reviews by a guy who loves the
cinema." For someone who lambasts the pro
critics for forgetting that movies are
"fun," Kong takes some dim views of
current films himself. Catch his Event
Horizon review.
Hollywood
Central
Tough video reviews, written by Tom Green &
Tom Whitaker, of UK releases. Backgroud graphic
conflicts with text and was distorted in Navigator
Gold 3.0. Links to other film sites and to
screenplays. Skimpy feature articles section.
CelebSite
One of the better celebrity databases on the
web. You can use the search engine on the
home page, browse "Star Bios" by last
name, or browse by category. Bios include Mr.
Showbiz interviews and the best sites for
that celebrity on the web.
Cinemania's
Movies List
Cinemania's "massive database"
of movies, organized by genre. If you
don't know the genre of the movie you're searching
for, click "All" to get an
alphabetized listing. Handy, but not as comprehensive
as one might like.
Cinemania's
People List
Cinemania's database of actors,
directors, screenwriters, producers, and technical
personnel. The same pluses and minuses that
apply to the site's movies database apply here
as well.
Hollywood
Online's MoviePeople Database
Disappointing search feature -- you have to
know who you're searching for, and how to
spell that person's name. Searches result in
filmographies, biographies (sometimes), and
simple stats like occupation and birth date.
The
Internet Movie Database
The grandparent of all Web/Internet movie sites.
Search the database for cast, production
crew, goofs, trivia, images, sounds, and more,
for nearly any movie released.
Moviefinder.com
E! Online's movie finding database. Search
by first word, personal taste, or
category (genre, rating, etc.), and other qualifiers,
using the "Power Search"
feature. To rank movies by personal taste, you
have to register as a member and then log
