...week. Instead of medical school, Parise delved into the world of theater acting and eventually film. In 1998 she wrote, directed, and starred in “Lo and Jo,” a short film that won numerous accolades. In her new movie (and second feature film to date), “Jack and Jill vs. the World,” Parise again takes on the numerous roles of actress, director, producer, and co-writer. Juggling all of these responsibilities proved a tremendous challenge. “Actually, the writing happened first, so that’s isolated...
...news about the housing market from the press, their neighbors and their real estate agents. Now they're hearing it from former Bachelor Bob Guiney. "The real estate market has come screeching to a halt!" he cries, over the sound of squealing tires, at the beginning of TLC's Date My House.

...play, ruminating on all of Stoppard’s weighty subjects while also being able to interject a barb when the opportunity arises. It’s remarkable that Stoppard’s play, first performed in 1993 at the dawn of the computer era, does not seem dated by the exponential leaps in technology that have occurred since that date. Stoppard frequently uses the computer as an analogue to the themes of entropy and complexity, and in an age when computers have become so thoroughly integrated into every aspect of life, this sort of philosophizing might seem stale...
