Indeed, his nightly Crossing Over with John Edward is the highest-rated show on the Sci Fi network and is about to go into syndication. He has made appearances on Larry King Live, Dateline, an HBO special, Entertainment Tonight and other TV shows. Between his fees for individual appointments, tickets for his seminars and stage appearances, and sales of his books, audiotapes and videotapes, Edward seems to be one of the few growth industries in an otherwise lackluster economy...
...York City. There’s something infectious about its crude drawing style and its jaunty Caribbean soundtrack. Where Monsters Lie, a light, brief tale of monsters living among us, is even more crudely drawn and only marginally interesting. Pleasureland is an uncompelling clunker of an erotic sci-fi story, following the exploits of an man who stumbles upon a video store whose adult tapes are made flesh by his VCR. The short also features yards of cable, black goop and tiresome irony...

McDermott had a firearms-identification card for rifles and shotguns that expired in 1999. Neighbors remember him as an unsmiling presence...
...Bush may be a godsend for the traditional broadcast networks. This is a man whose ideal weekend is on his Crawford ranch, which has no cable or satellite dish. Forget all those niche channels in the low 70s on your cable box. The Sci-Fi Channel and the Albanian Home Shopping Network have no place in Bush?s home. Watch for the nation to follow suit and return to family shows such as ?Touched By An Angel.? A Michael Landon revival could follow...
...gamble has been a losing one. Munich-based distribution company Intertainment took an undisclosed hit on the $70 million sci-fi flop Battlefield Earth, which it co-produced with U.S.-based Franchise Pictures. Although preselling the television rights across Europe helped offset some of the loss, that belly-flop may come back to haunt the company if stations think twice about buying in the future. Intertainment is betting on a $500 million, 10-film deal with Hollywood producers Anne and Arnold Kopelson, who were responsible for Outbreak and The Fugitive, to keep its credibility alive...
