What is surprising about All Fools Day is that it does not aspire to Morrison's bluesy work with Them, nor to his famous jazz-inflected tunes on Moondance and Astral Weeks. Rather, lead-singer and principle Saint Chris Bailey produces a near perfect cop of Into The Music, one of Morrison's more recent and unjustifiably over looked disks...
After about three minutes on the open road, Dewitt arrived in Harvard Square and vomited from exhaustion. Deciding that he needed to pace himself, Dewitt took a load off in front of Easy Rider (Brattle Theater). Given Dewitt's current endeavor, it was the perfect choice, a classic film about the groovy days of the late 60s and early 70s.

On their way, they...

Hinckley had also received a letter from "Squeaky" Fromme, who tried to shoot President Ford...
...movie's other female lead shines as she combines a strong will with sexual overdrive. Margaret Whitton, who plays Brantley's Aunt Vera, is a zestful piranha with the perfect amount of evil allure and bawdy sexuality to make her attacks on Fox a high point of the movie. By her side, Brantley's uncle (Richard Jordan) fades in comparison, exuding unimpressive ill will...
