...carpet tour. Now he's commanding his own spotlight with a revelatory performance in Pinero. In this sordid, vibrant and true story, Bratt stars as Miguel Pinero, the Puerto Rican playwright, unrehabilitated ex-con, junkie and cautionary figure. In 1988, 14 years after founding Manhattan's Nuyorican Poets Cafe and gathering acclaim for his Tony-nominated play Short Eyes, Pinero died of cirrhosis...
...Happened One Night dances charmingly along the fence between lark and allegory. It is, among other things, a dissertation on what it means to be an American phony.

They were asking $30,000 for the deadly merchandise. The others--the buyers--seemed prepared to pay it. The deal may actually have gone off had Russian security forces not been watching. They swept in, arrested all six men and were...
...raffish ex-husband from her days as a photojournalist in Laos. That will all be over by now of course. He had taken a few nice pictures, but Christina needed an artist. She found what she needed in Jean-Claude, a devastatingly handsome man she met in a cafe in Paris during a trip to visit her former chef. They did not even exchange words; they just gazed into each other’s eyes. The two eloped in Monte Carlo and honeymooned in Marrakesh, much to the chagrin of Christina’s mom, who had been hoping...
