...little pudgy, past his athletic prime and wears cowboy boots year round. But, hey, he has a proven track record for putting fans in the seats, and that's something the San Diego Padres could use after losing the World Series and some pivotal players. So when country singer GARTH BROOKS announced that he'll suit up for Padres spring training as a nonroster player, it sort of made sense. Brooks' goals are suitably low. He says he doesn't want "to embarrass Major League Baseball or the Padres." Actually, embarrassment would be a step up for the Padres. They...
...since Peninsula's fortune seems to be the result of a Great Depression in campus tensions, we'll engage in a little Keynesianism (anathema, we realize, as it is to Peninsula's spirit) and prime the pump of vituperation, with some social service attack poetry...
...came vibing Eastward from America and Europe to kick up the wildest and funkiest corn you ever bought for a lark. Curried with additional drum tracks by DJ Josh Davis, the pieces preserve their essence of unbelievably tacky sexiness.

The whole scenario is a waste of screen time that could be put to better use by Lucy Liu, legal eagle by prime time, dial-a-dominatrix in this celluloid romp. She deliciously performs her duties on Porter's ex-partner and is even called upon to give Porter some gun-totin' lovin. As Pearl, she is Gibson's true foil in this movie, she likes to inflict pain as much...
...real twist in the fairy tale is that the emphasis has been snatched from the damsel and invested in Prince Charming instead. Doubtless, as one can tell from the promotional blitz, the producers must have meant to market Cook aggressively at one point. However, once the camera alighted on Prime, seen previously in both installments of that I Know...Summer series, they simply had to surrender the film to him. He is a magnet in front of the camera. In comparison, Laney Boggs is a mere prop to his masculine narrative. In both screen time and plot weight, Prinze...
