D.E.B.S.new
This flick about four foxy crime-fighters attending spy college is campy enough to be bad, but it's not bad enough to be campy.

Nuts and Bolts Revoltnew
Robots' animators obviously paid meticulous attention to detail, from the dents and rust stains on the robots to the rivets in the buildings, but they deflated the film by using a stock "small-town dreamer goes to the big city" plot.

Hollywood Product: Sponge Delights Adults and Kids Alikenew

Cartoon Network's Programs Appeal to Hip, Humor-Hungry Insomniacsnew

The Watcher: Men Dressed as Women Guarantees Laughsnew
Contestants struggle to master the most superficial aspects of being a woman -- from dealing with bras, walking in heels, planning a wedding, and being a bridesmaid. If the show were called "She's A Guy," girly-girl contestants would undoubtedly learn how to throw a football, barbecue and scratch their balls.

Film Looks at Mexican-Americans Soldiersnew
Most recent documentaries examine the politics of war rather than look at the people who actually fight. But filmmaker Charley Trujillo opens "Soldados: Chicanos in Viet Nam" (PBS, Aug. 31, 10 p.m.) with a story about picking cotton with his parents after he returned from the Vietnam War.
