...opens to reveal the hunky Teen Angel in the terrific "Beauty School Dropout" number. Marshall has beefed up the original score with the excellent songs written for the 1978 film (including "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "You're the One That I Want"). Best of all, she doesn't poke us in the ribs to make sure we're getting the parody of '50s clothes, styles and attitudes, or push for more social significance than the fragile little spoof can bear - the way, for instance, Hairspray and Legally Blonde do just down the street...
...historic election victory, Ichiro Ozawa was nowhere to be seen. As the results rolled in the evening of July 29, tallying up the rising number of DPJ winners in Upper House races, Ozawa didn't appear at party headquarters, didn't speak to reporters, didn't even poke his head out to wave to his supporters.

As an added bonus, the riff could also be a slyly self-deprecating poke at the exact persona Team Romney seeks to remind voters of: The angry old man, yelling at neighborhood kids to "Get off my lawn...
...sure scholars of the U.S. health care system, even those without a political grudge, will be able to poke holes in some of the movie's arguments, and address some important points the movie ignores. The upside of this populist documentary is that there are no policy wonks, crunching numbers and reducing patients' anguish to sterile statistics. The downside: There are no policy wonks, crunching numbers and saying soberly how much a national health care plan would cost U.S. citizens. In a 2hr. movie, Moore could have taken a couple mins. to tote up the expected...
