Reclining her hospital bed yesterday, the 66-year-old Harlem woman who took a stray bullet in the leg in Harlem Wednesday sent a strong message to Mayor Bloomberg about what Harlem needs: "Bloomberg's getting in there and making the place look fancy and all of that, but it's not safe and people won't want to come here," Virginia Valree told the Daily News . "If he could purify the city...
I pulled the proof out of the box and thought wearily, ‘Not another one.’ With its hot pink and shiny silver cover, clearly this was going to be another teen girl, boy trouble, best mates fall out, average book I’ve seen a hundred times before, full of nothing more than angst, lip gloss and lurve. Who was it that said you should never judge a book by its cover? I couldn’t put...

The concept of two sexy young women scrubbing the brain fragments off of a bathroom floor might sound to you like some niche Japanese Manga porn. Unfortunately it’s only another dysfunctional family indie drama. Sunshine Cleaning has the indie genre down pat; colourful titles, top actors, interesting backdrop and troubled characters. In fact, it is walking the line so straight that it borders...
Greetings all. As promised, I will post a piece of my memoir. Sadly, you have to read the blah-blah below before it kicks off. Also, due to the length of it, I will post in three parts. Is ‘Youth is wasted on the young’? (George Bernard Shaw.) From an adult’s perspective it most certainly is. I am sure that we all have nostalgic memories, some good, some are bad. I believe I tend...
After slamming Susan Boyle on the Opie & Anthony Radio Show, dysfunctional family matriarch Sharon Osbourne apologized…sort of. On November 5, Ozzy's old lady called Boyle a "slapped arse" on a radio show with millions of listeners. Five days later, Osbourne apologized to her 100,000 Twitter followers. You tell me which statement made the bigger impact. Why is it the insult is...
Pavel Antonov One of the most memorable plays we saw last year was The Walworth Farce , a pitch-black comedy by Irish playwright Enda Walsh. The story concerned a menacing father who every day forces his two sons to join him in performing a farcical play he wrote about a phony brain surgeon's attempt to cheat his estranged brother out of his inheritance. In that frenzied, hysterical production, the...
Roland Emmerich’s latest opus is three hours too long and is so politically correct[*] that it makes New Labour look bad. It features more cliches than a cliche pie. The typical dysfunctional family is featured, and you just know that it’ll be okay in the end. Which is the case. Do not expect good storytelling or [...]
from Verse Twenty-One When people are influenced by rulers, they do not follow their words but their actions. Therefore if rulers admire bravery, then even if they do not deliberately cause competition and conflict, their countries have many difficulties and will eventually be thrown into disorder by plunder and killing . If rulers admire physical beauty, then even if they do not permit license, their...
by Vadim Rizov Fantastic Mr. Fox is Wes Anderson 's sixth feature and third to be pre-judged as a "Wes Anderson" film—a calcified pejorative often bearing little relation to what the movies are actually like. A "Wes Anderson movie," we're given to understand, is a series of candy-colored rectangular sets and frames boxing in little more than statically quirky characters....
Droo l is one of those films that slowly grows on you as you're watching it. At first I wasn't sure if I would like it, but by the end, I was completely won over by its darkly comic script and wonderful performances. Written and directed by Nancy Kissam, the movie starts out as a dysfunctional family drama with housewife and mother Anora Fleece (Laura Harring) stuck in an abusive marriage in Catoosa,...
It feels like it's finally Dana Delany's time. The actress had several near brushes with TV superstardom after her Emmy-winning run as Nurse Colleen McMurphy on "China Beach" ended. Mike White, who wrote the hit "School of Rock," cast her as the uptight matriarch on Fox's critically beloved but short-lived dysfunctional family drama "Pasadena"; Darren Star originally...
On Monday’s post I promised to return to Remembrance and risk challenging some "sacred cows". Today, the 11th day of the 11th month I am sure many will pray for those who died so brutally in wars. It is right to do so. I shall remember them in Mass at 11.00am. I watched a recorded version of the Remembrance function in the Albert Hall last Saturday. I tried to think positively but I...

Shirley’s intimate Thanksgiving get-together with Carl turns into a dysfunctional family affair when she invites Alan, Denny, Jerry, and Katie — as well as emotionally unstable law partner Edwin Poole (Larry Miller) and his six-year-old foster son, who tried to mug her — to join them in the feast.
