IN LOVE AND WAR - The young Ernest Hemingway, wounded in World War I, falls in love with an older woman who is his nurse. Hemingway used the affair, obviously, as the basis of his ``A Farewell to Arms.'' Chris O'Donnell is cast as Hemingway with Sandra Bullock as the nurse. Epic-style battle scenes are included in the Richard Attenborough production. PG-13
FIERCE CREATURES - The cast of ``A Fish Called Wanda'' are reunited in this farce about a British zoo that is taken over by an Atlanta billionaire who wants to increase profits by displaying only dangerous animals. It is not a sequel to ``Wanda.'' The troubled production has been long delayed, including filming a new ending. Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, John Cleese and Michael Palin are directed by Fred Schepisi and Robert Young. PG-13 [MOTHER [The text of this mini-review is not available in the database] [For complete copy, see microfilm]
