...Kids on the Block were still teenagers when their 1986 debut album, New Kids on the Block, changed the face of prepubescent pop by putting a teen- idol spin on a black urban beat.

...France only in October, whereas The Visitors has been playing since February), but the Poire comedy is a genuine phenomenon, earning a record-smashing $70 million. "We have no dinosaurs," Poire said smilingly on opening night. What The Visitors has is a solid farce premise (a 12th century knight and his servant are magically stranded in today's French suburbs), a toilet-bowl sense of humor and a few tricks swiped from Hollywood: breakneck pace and gaudy visual effects.
