Birthday girl Patti Kenner also cheers the movie's celebration of female camaraderie--and charity. In lieu of accepting birthday gifts, she asked friends to contribute to a women's organization. Peg Yorkin, who used some of her more than $50 million divorce settlement from producer Bud Yorkin to found the Feminist Majority Foundation in 1987, says, "Feminism gives women options they probably didn't have 50 years ago. Women who might not be as fortunate as I am at least can usually do something." Marilyn Kane, for instance, has become a counselor for the Coalition for Family Justice...
...just think how you'd feel a month later if you got a credit card bill charging you 18 percent interest on your losses. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission voted 3-1 on Wednesday to let players buy chips or tokens using credit cards or debit cards in lieu of cash. Not surprisingly, experts on compulsive gambling have criticized the move. "In the act of walking away from a machine and walking outside or into the lobby, it gives someone a breaking point," said Chuck Micciche, deputy director of the National Council on Problem Gambling. "It allows them...

His camera technique reflects this: in lieu of the sudden cuts to flashbacks, he uses one, long camera movement to go back in time. The effect has the relaxed feel of a huge storybook page being turned. One moment, we see a confrontation between a young black man and old Sheriff Wade, ages ago, in a bar. Then the camera sweeps upward slowly--and we're staring in the face of Sheriff Sam Deeds, present-tense, listening...
...Miranda Richardson, shrouds the aimless bustle of its plot--kidnapping, murder and political maneuvering set against a 1934 jazz milieu--in an opium haze of dramatic anomie. Stephen Frears' The Van, third in the series that includes The Commitments and The Snapper, is a noisy mess, with shouting in lieu of wit and brawls stunt-doubling for character conflict. But this pub/pug violence was mild next to the atrocities in David Cronenberg's Crash, the festival's mandatory annual outrage. This terminally creepy movie, from the J.G.
