...orders of protection are often useless against violently estranged boyfriends, lovers and husbands. The fact that Mary's stalkers are just a bunch of idiots, each more pathetic than the other, ends the movie with a sigh of relief and burst of laughter. But what if Mary's crazed ex-boyfriend had chosen to harm her or kill her instead of just acting like a moron? That is a serious question that we should all think about. The movie ends well, but sadly, in reality, so many other stalker cases...
...most complete published portraits of reclusive author J.D. Salinger, an ex-lover reveals that he locked his manuscripts in a safe, obsessed about food (and vomiting), strongly believed writers should not become famous, and loved TV sitcoms -- especially those involving Mayberry and the Mertzes. Author Joyce Maynard had a nine-month affair with Salinger 26 years ago, when he was 53 and she was 18.

...first TV show, and it has--in milder form--the surreality and edge of his earlier work. Based on an Elmore Leonard novel, Maximum Bob stars Beau Bridges as a colorful, corrupt judge in a small Florida town. He's the kind of guy who will avoid paying his ex-wife alimony by putting her in jail. Amusing, smoothly put together and featuring a likable cast, this summer series augurs well for Sonnenfeld's next (and very curious) TV project, a revamped Fantasy Island, which has won a place on ABC's fall schedule...
