...Bride of Chucky, the latest movie starring the fatally adorable doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer, opened last weekend. The film was filled with gory and suspenseful moments, as every dark, quiet scene is violently and predictably disturbed by the axe-wielding doll's maniacal laughter and the horrified screams of his victims. But after prolonged exposure to this nonsense, Chucky's deathtraps became laughable and monotonous.

And while the grand jurors wait, Bowles huffs and puffs and then tucks the cushion underneath himself...
...come to terms with their diseases--with the blood cells that are failing them, the cancers and immune deficiencies that are attacking them, and the new replacement cells that are helping them. Many of the kids, like Caroline Strother, 6, are old hands at medical games. She swabs her doll's arm and prepares to insert a central line, but asks, "Hey, don't we need clamps...
