...Parade, two jets from Avianca, the Colombian airline, flew to Los Angeles with enough carnations to keep the beauty queens in the pink. But similar rescues will not be possible for a while, at least not from Avianca. Last week the airline suspended cargo flights to the U.S. The move followed the seizure of 422 lbs. of cocaine on a flight from Bogota to Miami. The U.S. Customs Service fined the airline $6.8 million. Since 1986, 5,000 lbs. of cocaine have been found on 14 Avianca flights, and the carrier felt it had to cancel its cargo service...

Something got lost in the move from storyboard to screen, and in the stretch from seven minutes to 103. From sad experience, Disney and Spielberg should know the perils of paying huge homage to modest genres, yet Roger Rabbit has the odor of a Toontown Tron, a 1941 for 1988. Zemeckis deserves credit for his will...
