Landmark Theaters, the nation's
largest independent movie theater chain, cut a deal to install a
digital movie projection system based on Microsoft's Windows software in

Lawsuits target ads at start of films
The practice of showing commercials before
the start of movies defrauds the public and should be stopped, according to
lawsuits filed in Chicago against two movie-theater chains. The on-screen

theatergoers, the lawsuits claim.

A lean, silhouetted figure stays one step ahead of his pursuer. Along the way he metamorphoses into an airline pilot, a
doctor and a lawyer, pausing briefly to dally with girls around a pool and at a
swank party.
"Catch Me If You Can," Steven Spielberg's
film about a young con artist, has a fast-moving and clever title
sequence whose style harks back to the animated openings of several '60s
classics.
