...mythomaniac autobiography, The Secret Life of Salvador Dali, he took pains to spin out a fiction of his early originality. He wanted people to think he'd been found like Moses in the bulrushes, a miracle child: Salvador, Saviour. In part this did correspond to the truth. As Ian Gibson's fascinating catalog essay on Dali's early life makes clear, little Salvador was a horribly spoiled brat. Cosseted, deferred to, aware that a tantrum could get him anything he wanted, he grew up with serious delusions of creative omnipotence -- which, as time went by, coexisted with equally serious problems...

Hollywood's summer officially began last weekend with the box-office sure thing Maverick, starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and the lead from the '50s TV version, old Bret (or was it Bart?)

Later this summer, Lassie will bark her way back into your heart, and Wyatt Earp will gallop across the wide screen. The Little Rascals, based on the old movie shorts...
...will do you any harm, and one actually succeeds pretty well. The best (and worst) you can say about Maverick is that it does the job -- it allows you to spend a perfectly agreeable evening without making you feel completely stupid or totally conned. The film offers us Mel Gibson as a new Bret Maverick, the Western gambler, as well as the old TV Maverick, James Garner, now playing a wry frontier sheriff. These two guys can make you smile contentedly even when the script is wandering and they're just sort of standing around waiting for its next good...
...film, directed by Brain Gibson, is a what-she-went-through-to get-where-she-is chronicle of the professional and personal life of the renowned star. It is a justifiably sympathetic portrayal of a talented woman's inner journey to find her strength of character. The screenplay which is based upon the autobiography I, Tina, traces Turner's rise to stardom through the partnership with her husband, Ike. The book explains how she survived Ike's abusive behavior using her belief in Buddhist spirituality, and recounts the circumstances that taught her to stand on her own both mentally...
