Goodwill Hunting

The film, which received nine Academy Award nominations, tells the story of Will Hunting (Matt Damon), a tough "Southie" and high school dropout who works as a janitor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The school's top mathematician, Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard) posts a math challenge for the university's students. The unaccredited answer appears on a hallway blackboard and the professor initially cannot find the author. When he stumbles upon Will, he offers to sponsor and help the young man who has brawled his way into police custody.

Sean Maguire (Robin Williams) is the gifted therapist called upon to help the psychologically troubled young Will who agrees to treatment as part of a deal to avoid jail time. Also pitching in to help him are Skylar (Minnie Driver), a British student who falls in love with him, and Chuckie (Ben Affleck), Will's best friend since childhood who recognizes his gift and challenges him to escape to a better life.

In addition to Academy Awards won by Robin Williams as Best Supporting Actor and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Good Will Hunting also received the following nominations: Best Actor, Matt Damon; Best Director, Gus Van Sant; Best Film Editing, Pietro Scalia; Best Music, Original Dramatic Score, Danny Elfman; Best Music, Song ("Miss Misery"), Elliott Smith; Best Picture, Lawrence Bender, and Best Supporting Actress, Minnie Driver.

NO HDTV PROGRAMMING THIS EVENING
There is a report on the TIPS List that NBC is suspending HDTV programming until further notice. In talking to NBC today there is no long term view to this effect but only a temporary means for keeping channels open for breaking war news. Indeed, NBC has a positive view of HDTV and is hard at work in developing some major attractions, including more HDTV for the next Olympics.

Alien slime mutates into a national threat, leaving a loopy group of scientists as the only hope for mankind in this hilarious comedy from Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman. David Duchovny stars as Dr. Ira Kane, a college science teacher who discovers that a meteor has carried a rapidly evolving life form to Earth. It's a monumental discovery, but there's one tiny drawback: the organisms feed on humans and they have grown into monsters. Joined by his co-worker Harry (Orlando Jones), an aspiring but hapless fireman (Seann William Scott) and an attractive epidemiologist (Julianne Moore), Kane leads an unlikely fight against the monstrous menace...while dealing with the moronic military! "A consistently amusing action romp" (Variety).
