...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 singer...

...based on a board game. It is certainly the first one to go into the theaters with three different endings. Good news for the makers of some future edition of Trivial Pursuit.

...popular Cajun popcorn, bits of shellfish cooked in batter and dipped in a tangy onion sauce. To our disappointment, however, crabmeat was substituted for the traditional crawfish tails. The fish gumbo, a soup thick with seafood and orzo, also satisfies. The shrimp remoulade--cold shrimp in an unconventional hot mustard sauce--would pass muster if it included more shrimp and less lettuce...
