...divorce often screws up kids. In itself, this isn't news, though many experts feel Wallerstein overstates the case. That divorce may screw them up for a long, long time and put them at risk for everything from drug abuse to a loveless, solitary old age is more disturbing--and even more debatable. Christy Buchanan, a professor of psychology at Wake Forest University and co-author of Adolescents After Divorce (Harvard), is typical of Wallerstein's detractors. "I think the main drawback of the sort of research she does is that you can't necessarily generalize it to a broad...
Country music is lonely work. A man stares out his pickup window and wonders how love could abandon him with such ease and finality. So Prine, who knows a bit about hurt--he has recently survived cancer of the neck--has called on a few good women (including Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams) to join him in no-frills, no-foolin' duets on 15 country chestnuts.

They were doubtless too busy helping invent the film's visual effects, which most prominently include the gigantic mechanical tarantula with which Loveless hopes to induce a post-Civil War U.S. to surrender its sovereignty to him. But like men in frocks or the doctor's steam-driven wheelchair, it is just a sight gag--a one-shot deal out of which you cannot build intricately sustained comedy. The movie is loaded with this junk, but it has no authentic...
...Premise Government agents James West (Will Smith) and Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline) are on the trail of the evil Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) and his technological weapons. The two heroes must team up to thwart Loveless's plan to assassinate the president of the United States...
