May is Mystery Month Something struck me as wrong when I opened up this highly-celebrated author’s book. Scottoline is given kudos left and right. Her credentials, too, seem stellar. I’ve never read any her books before, so I was glad to add a new author — especially one with such good reviews. However, I wish… Read more »
May is Mystery Month I wish I could tell you about the first film, but I don’t know a thing about it. I wasn’t so sure I wanted to see this one when the husband saw it listed on TV. It kind of looked like a horror film and I really had been horrored out… Read more »

RE: Debbie Jabbour’s AU Develops Doctorate Program April 28, 2004 – v12i17 I’d like to say how frustrated I am that AU does not currently have a Psychology or Arts… Read more »
May is Mystery Month I first saw this film many years ago, around the time it was first released. The characters made my skin crawl. I really connected to the young couple, Patty and Drake (Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine), trying to make a living by buying a gorgeous old Victorian house in San Francisco… Read more »
ALL APRIL — COMEDY FILM REVIEWS I can hear you saying, “what is a romantic film like the Mask of Zorro doing in comedy month?!” I have to say that the film does have the best sword work, duels and costumes in recent memory, but it is primarily hilarious. So, that’s my reasoning. “This is… Read more »
ALL APRIL — COMEDY FILM REVIEWS If you haven’t seen this Rob Schneider film you’ve missed some of his most hilarious antics. UPN TV reviewer Mark S. Allen dubbed it “the funniest movie of the season!” Those of you who are long-time Saturday Night Live fans will know Rob well : that leaves me out…. Read more »
ALL APRIL — COMEDY FILM REVIEWS French Inspector Jacques Clouseau, so loveably played by the late British actor Peter Sellers, is in charge of a very delicate case. Herbert Lom memorably portrays Chief Inspector Dreyfus the frustrated former boss of Clouseau. Dreyfus is now coming up for reassessment in an asylum after having suffered a… Read more »
Let’s kick off April’s comedy reviews’ month with this little gem I found in a book swap. The pocketbook from Stuart Kaminsky is a winner for its hilarious premise. It is a whodunit that keeps you giggling and is so clean it contains only one swear word at almost the end of the book. “Someone… Read more »
Mel Brooks has a truly hilarious project here. This 1987 PG rated film is far less “mature” than most of Brooks’ campy fare. It begins with the classic Star Wars formula and then branches out into wacky nonsense throughout. Stars include Bill Pullman as romantic lead Lone Starr (pilot of the flying Winnebago). His sidekick… Read more »
Our last column this month dedicated to films and books for children features this lovely Disney film. As Monster’s Inc. opened I thought, “Holy crap! I think that’ll probably scare some tiny tots!” But trust Disney. Unless your child is a wee small tot who doesn’t understand what’s going on in the dialogue, they’ll soon… Read more »
