Weekly Wire Memphis Flyer What a 'Scream'  'Scream 3' works to
be the end-all.  By Susan Ellis  FEBRUARY 14, 2000:  Ooo, I'm so
scared.  The makers of Scream 3 have asked critics not to reveal
the ending of this film. But what could possibly happen if I
did, if I just let loose right here and now?  Don't worry, mum's
the word. And in any case, the conclusion isn't Luke-I-Am-Your-
Father or My-Lord-That-Woman-That-Irish-Guy-Is-Seeing-Has-a-
Penis. It's not that the ending isn't perfectly adequate. It's
fine, but in Scream 3 it's the middle that really matters.
Scream 3, directed by Wes Craven and written by Ehren Kruger,
continues the theme established in the first film -- that of a
horror movie spoofing a horror movie. All the key players are
here: Sidney (Neve Campbell), the focus of two psycho-killer
rampages; Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette), the biting TV
reporter who's exploited the murders for fame; and Dewey Riley
(David Arquette), the sweetly goofy police officer who had a
relationship with Gale.
