This article presents information about two motion pictures. Richard Kwietniowski wrote and directed the film "Love and Death on Long Island." This film lives or dies by the tone it sets, catching the giddiness and fragility of an extended moment of discovery: the discovery of beauty where one had never expected it, and through that beauty the discovery of an entire world, made up of pizzas and Cokes and sporty convertibles and sunglasses. The film "Blues Brothers 2000" is beyond praise. The structure of the film is rigorous: musical number, car chase, musical number, car chase.
