''Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!'' Jan Brady's whine of sibling resentment is abroad in the land, as audiences put The Brady Bunch Movie on top for the second week running. By drawing younger women-55 percent of the audience was under 25; 65 percent was female-the reborn sitcom family again bested Just Cause and trounced the manly Hunted and The Walking Dead. While Tom Hanks picked up a SAG Award to go with his Golden Globe, Pulp Fiction edged out Forrest Gump to lead the puttering ranks of Oscar-nominated pictures, followed by The Shawshank Redemption in 13th place and Quiz Show in 19th place. So much for pre-Oscar rereleases.
