...Kellerman's Sandy, but eventually succumbs to her rather therapeutically stated invitations. Joe Bologna talks a confident wom anizing game, but doesn't score many points. Of this odd lot only Brenda Vaccaro's Marilyn, saddened but not fully daunted by the sudden, accidental death of her husband, seems content to accept a solitary life as the not unbearable price to be paid for happiness past. There's something rather touching about her self-containment. And she makes you think that if this movie had a shred of thoughtfulness about it, if it wanted to make us contemplate courageously...

Before there was YouTube's crush of do-it-yourself video online, Josh Wolf was busy taking media into his own hands. As one of the Internet's earliest videobloggers, Wolf thrust himself onto the front lines of citizen journalism, uploading his politically spiked, home-grown content onto www.joshwolf.net. While bypassing old media gatekeepers - like editors and programming schedules - Wolf, 24, gained unprecedented access to the Web's global stage, but he also fast won notoriety for his attempts to democratize the media.
