...violent Mad Max movies, sneezes and blows a typhoon. At first it seems a mix of two unsuited masters. And anyone who comes to The Witches of Eastwick expecting a Masterpiece Theatre adaptation will be disappointed, not to say grossed out. Alex wakes up in a bed of snakes; puke spumes as if from a seasick sewer pipe. No problem. Miller and Michael Cristofer have simply chosen to tell the story from coarse Daryl's point of view rather than, as Updike did, from the ironic women's. This is not a movie of compound-complex sentences and nuances...

...cookies and tremulous advice ("Peggy, you know what a penis is -- stay away from it!"). She enjoys vamping Michael the beatnik, sharing a joint in a moonlit meadow as he howls out his Ginsbergian verse ("Sucking pods of bitterness/ In the madhouse of Doctor Dread/ Razor shreds of rat puke fall on my bare arms"). She is even touched by Charlie's perplexed devotion, his doomed itch for pop stardom, his '50s suaveness that plays like '80s nerdity. Youth may be wasted on the young, but Peggy Sue savors it the second time around...

...Harvard band, which has practically made a career out of puerile jokes, finally went one stop too far in the fall. After playing "Live and Let Die" during a segment on the Korean airlines shooting and spelling out 'PUKE" during a sequence on the food in the Union, the band provoked official University reprobation...
