Harvey Weinstein has gone too far this time. I am a big Quentin Tarantino fan but there is no way that I'm going to pay £5 to watch the first half of a film that could easily be shown in one sitting. There is only one solution. Boycott Kill Bill, however much a fan you are, and show Harvey Wjinstein that you are not a lemming.

VIEWER GET ANGRY Dear Big Screen I must defend The Hulk against its many critics. The Hulk has its roots in comic books and people should be comparing the film to them. However, people are instead comparing the film to the famous 1970s series, but the worlds are very different. The character is called The Incredible Hulk for a reason. No offence to Lou Ferigno but he is a far cry from the huge, leaping giant of the comics. ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— Film reviews 413 Videos/DVDs 414 SAVE 20% off the new Harry Potter Audio CD or Cassette see p651 Local Video/DVD On Stage Events

VIEWER GET ANGRY Dear Big Screen The Hulk of the comics is a gigantic powerhouse, a split personality, traumatised by Bruce's father and released by his exposure to high amounts of gamma rays. It is this universe from which the film takes its cue, not the TV show. In future, people should do their research before pointing the finger.

I left shocked at the way the film distorts history to present Oliver Cromwell as a fascist dictator. I can only wonder at how it escaped the criticism that Hollywood films which reinvent British history usually get.

Dear Big Screen Would it be possible to tell me what Robert Zemeckis is up to nowadays, as he doesn't seem to have done anything in ages. Any help is appreciated. Garry McFarlane, Aye, Ayrshire Big Screen replies: Zemeckis is deep in post-production on children's fantasy movie The Polar Express, starring his old mucker Tom Hanks. He's also producing Gothika, starring Halle Berry, and Clink Inc. ——————————————————————————————————5/6—— Big Screen is moving — see page 408 LET US ENTERTAIN YOU - SEEK OUT YOUR LISTINGS teletext.co.uk/entertainment Local Video/DVD On Stage Events
