A killer book (Dog Soldiers) must hide behind a Credence Clearwater tune. Karel Reisz’s killer movie about the moral residue of Vietnam scores as both drama and action, as disillusioned counterculture smugglers versus corrupt narcotics cops. Just don’t expect it to really have much to say about the Vietnam experience. But hey, the cast is tops — Nick Nolte, Richard Masur, Anthony Zerbe — and the marvelous Tuesday Weld is even better as a pill-soaked involuntary initiate into the pre- War On Drugs smuggling scene.

On a given day, weeks after the genocide waged by Hutu extremists against Tutsis and Hutu moderates had begun in the streets of Kigali, General Roméo Dallaire, the Canadian Force Commander of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Rwanda (Unamir), slowly walks down a empty road, littered with debris left by people fleeing for their lives. The only sound is that of a piece of plastic he is kicking aimlessly with the side of his boot—and the distant sound of gunfire. Behind him a fellow office warns him not to stray ahead of the rest of the troops, not to make himself an open target. But it seems Dellaire is beyond caring and he continues to stroll without purpose down the road. Death by a sudden bullet would be a relief.
But how much of what happened in Rwanda that April in 1994 could Dallaire have prevented? So asks Roger Spottiswoode...

Josh Schwartz, co-creator of hits like "The Oc," "Gossip Girl" and "Chuck," is planning to remake the 1981 classic "Endless Love." New York Magazine's Vulture could not reach Schwartz's reps for comment but they did check in with Scott Spencer, author of the best-selling novel on which the original film was based. At his New York home, Spencer noted that Schwartz had also been hired by MGM to remake the flop "Bright Lights, Big City." Spencer joked, saying "It almost seems as though Josh is trying to undo the mistakes of the early and mid-eighties." The original film helmed by Franco Zeffirelli was adapted by Judith Rascoe and starred Brooke Shields, Martin Hewitt, Shirley Knight and Don Murray. The film was made famous more for its title song by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross.
