Who published this feature about everyday people naming movies they wanted to see which never came to town?

I know I saw a feature in a recent magazine, which I thought was Entertainment Weekly, but now I can't find it again. It was a full page of photos of regular people from around the nation, and they had asked each person to name the movie they most wanted to see that never came to their town -- "Capturing the Friedmans" was named, among others. Has anyone seen this feature, and if so, can you tell me which magazine it was in? We get a LOT of magazines, so if not EW it could have been in Esquire, People, Vanity Fair, etc. Any help will be much appreciated!

i saw that too and i believe it was in ET. i think it was Owen Gleibman's thing in place of Lisa Schwarzbaum's column "ask the critic." it was probably a couple of weeks ago, maybe in the movie preview issue.

if you can't dig it up i can probably find the issue at home and scan the page for you.

Response by poster: Thanks for the help -- I think EW too -- if anyone can name the issue and the page number, I'd be indebted!

Best answer: EW #746, Nick and Jessica on the cover. It's the Ask the Critic on page 50 (Gleiberman and Schwarzbaum rotate that feature).
