...closed pretty quickly, and life went on. It?s mid-July now, and you just know Fever Pitch is going to be out on DVD-a lesser experience-any second. Drew and the Farrellys are off to make their next, more successful pictures, and all of that rapturous baloney Drew was giving Katie about her fairy-dusted Red Sox experience is on a grimy-dust-gathering tape in a Rock Center closet somewhere, where it belongs...
...campaign-style spinning persists. Last week, after Rove's name was divulged, the Republican National Committee engaged in a freestyle vitriol spew, attempting once again to discredit Wilson and suggest that Rove was merely trying to "knock down" a bum story.

His first feature, which he directed in 1963 under the name Anthony Farrar, is a beguiling mix of no-nudity eroticism and supernatural baloney; an aging stripper (June Colbourne) uses an amulet to work her power on men. It doesn't matter that the actors are not especially attractive, because the movie is about people who, like most of us, only think they're sexy...
