While I am not a Brendan Fraser fan, I do know that he does not belong in this movie, which shows Chris Farley slam dancing in a Los Angeles club. Brendan Fraser would fit in better ballroom dancing at a country club than in a slam-dancing neo-grunge club...
...plagues could not have come at a worse time for the California wine trade, whose annual sales exceed $3.6 billion. The Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which regulates the wineries, appears to be following a neo-prohibitionist agenda. The bureau requires wine labels to carry warnings about drunken driving and the danger of alcohol to pregnant women.

The Republikaners have scored as high as 15% in local elections, and charismatic party leader Franz Schonhuber, who served in Hitler's SS, is a member of the European Parliament...
