Review The Secret Life of Boys / FFH:

Is male youth violence one result of the societally imposed demand for men to seem strong and silent? In this ABC News 20/20 program, correspondent John Stossel; Dr. William Pollack, of the Harvard Medical School and author of Real Boys; and researchers from Emory University and the University of Connecticut explore why boys tend to repress their feelings. Using a real counseling session, experts demonstrate how to help boys express their feelings before they begin to act them out at school and at home in antisocial behavioror even in a shooting spree or suicide.

Review A Christmas Carol:

In the same year that he directed a handsome version of The Scarlet Pimpernel for television, Clive Donner also made this worthy 1984 small-screen production of the Dickens tale. George C. Scott can't quite muster a decent English accent, but he does bring some new colors to this movie's interpretation of Scrooge, making the character less nasty for the sake of nastiness and more a product of a life of lovelessness. The supporting cast is first-rate, and the production is far more handsome than most TV fare. -Tom Keogh.

Review Date Rape:

Most rapes are not committed by total strangers, but rather by people who are known to the victims. Date rape is a violation of a woman's body that's exacerbated by a violation of her trust. This program explains how a failure to communicate effectively is at the heart of many date rape situations. Young women can learn how to reduce their chances of being victims of date rape and young men can learn how to avoid accusations of date rape. When we acknowledge what date rape is and understand how it occurs, it will happen less often.

Review Yellow Submarine:

This restored, animated valentine to the Beatles offers viewers the rare chance to see a work that's been substantially improved by its technical facelift, not just supersized with extra footage. Recognizing that its song-studded soundtrack alone makes Yellow Submarine a video annuity, United Artists has lavished a frame-by-frame refurbishment of the original feature, while replacing its original monaural audio tracks with a meticulously reconstructed stereo mix that actually refines legendary original album versions. What emerges is a vivid time capsule of the late '60s and a minor milestone in animation. The music represents the quartet's zenith-Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The story line, cobbled together by producer Al Brodax and a committee of writers, is a broad, feather-light allegory set in idyllic Pepperland, where the gentle citizens are threatened by the nasty, music-hating Blue Meanies and their surreal arsenal of henchmen, with the Beatles enlisted to thwart the bad guys. Visually, designer Heinz Edelmann mixes the biomorphic squiggles, day-glo palette, and Beardsley-esque portraits of Peter Max with rotoscoped still photographs and film; Edelmann's animated collages also nod to Andy Warhol and Magritte in properly psychedelic fashion, which works wonderfully with such terrific songs. High orthodox Beatlemaniacs can still grouse that the animated Fab Four are (literally) flat archetypes, but that's missing the sheer bloom of the music or the giddy, campy fun of the visuals. Making sense of the story is second to submerging blissfully in the sights and sounds of this video treat. -Sam Sutherland.

Review Behind the Scenes - Robert Gil De Montes / First Run Features:

Having grown up in a living room with two purple and two "Mexican pink" walls, painter Robert Gil de Montes has excellent credentials when it comes to the use of color in art, the subject of this episode of the Behind the Scenes public television series. Gil de Montes takes viewers to a flower stand and then to his studio where he takes viewers through the process of creating a painting with color, including undoing some of his work and starting over. Magician hosts Penn and Teller flesh out the lesson with a time-lapse photography sequence on an urban rooftop to show how light changes color, and later Penn hops upon a motorcycle to demonstrate. Well, he can explain it. Also on hand is computer artist Marilynn Ono to illustrate how color can add depth. The result is a 26-minute lesson aimed at grade-schoolers and older that is at least as entertaining as it is informative. -Kimberly Heinrichs.
