...movies gets prettier and prettier, Celie's life gets worse and worse. Her new husband beats her and separates her from her best friend and sister, Nettie (Akosua Busia). "Mister" (Danny Glover), as she affectionately refers to her betrothed, proves to be a real downer: he steals Celie's mail, sleeps around with other women, and makes his wife do ninety-percent of the work on their farm. At the film's halfway point, Celie is still cleaning vividly-hued ketchup and mustard stains while the tyrant goes off to try to rekindle an old romance with a famous blues...
...Nettie has gone as a missionary, behind a Georgia bush; Celie looks up from her hymnal and--wham!--a bulldozer crashes through the chancel of Nettie's church thousands of miles away. None of this bravura, though, has liberated the attractive cast. Whoopi Goldberg suffers knowingly as Celie; Danny Glover, as "Mr.," looks vainly for a note to strike besides befuddled menace; Margaret Avery inhabits Shug without illuminating her.

...NOTEBOOK: Tonight's final will be held at 8 p.m., with the consolation game at 5:30 p.m....

...most part, Back to the Future is characteristically a summer movie with its emphasis on light-hearted fun. Marty's parents George (Crispin Glover) and Lorraine (Lea Thompson) are the quintessential kids of the '50s. To Lorraine's ingenuous facade, Thompson brings dashes of practiced sophistication that catch you off guard...
...Glover, as George, also plays at this bi-level portrayal of his character. At first glance George is embarrassingly and pathetically a dork. He sort of lopes along, peering timidly at girls and unconsciously pushing back his recalcitrant, oily locks. But Glover rescues George from unredeemable wimpiness by infusing his soul with a little bit of the poet, and a little bit of the knight in shining armor. He convinces us that George, for all his bumbling, might win Lorraine...
