Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have exercised a fourth-year option on starting guard Kirk Hinrich to keep him with the team through the 2006-07 season, the Bulls said.
The third-year guard has averaged 13.9 points and 6.6 assists since being drafted in the first round in 2003.
"Kirk is a very big piece of this team's foundation," said Bulls executive vice president John Paxson. "He is a great leader for our team both on and off the floor."
**** The Crying Game
Neil Jordan's story of an IRA terrorist
(Stephen Rea) is a remarkably well-written
piece of work that at first seems to follow its
protagonist in aimless yet intriguing direc-
tions, but eventually reveals itself to be a per-
fectly structured look at violence, race, love,
and sexuality. Rea is ordered to guard a kid-
napped British officer (Forest Whitaker), but
he begins to care for the hostage and later
flees to London, where he meets the officer's
girlfriend (Jaye Davidson). The two halves of
the film, which contain some completely
unpredictable plot twists, become mirrors of
one another, reflecting how understanding and
compassion may be a means of salvation.
