...tale is this: in middle age Chaplin, a journalist, and Susan Atkinson, a nurse married to Chaplin's college roommate, embark upon "an illicit, dangerous romance." In 1989, after years of landlocked child-rearing (four daughters between them), they leave their marriages and decide, like the owl and the pussycat, to set off to sea in the 36-ft. double-ended motor-sailor Lord Jim. Throughout the chronicle blow dark gusts of both families' anger and disapproval--bad emotional weather that is the underlying motif of Chaplin's memoir, even when tropical sun shines on the romantic fugitives...

Surely your photograph of Shalit was intended to evoke titters, as it shows her reclining on a sofa, the defender of feminine modesty happily fondling her pussycat Milton (for Friedman), thereby doubly prim about love and money. I espy antifeminist symbolism. PHILIP M. RIDEOUT New York City...

...charge their taxes early and often for two reasons. First, if you end up being hounded for the money, you don't want the IRS on your case. The agency can and does garnish wages and place liens against or confiscate property. A credit-card company is a pussycat by comparison. Sometimes it will simply write you off as a cost of doing business and place a blot on your credit report.

...into an equally evil and equally plastic doll. The brilliance of this premise will not be appreciated during our lifetime. With just a sprinkling of self-consciousness and heaps of bad taste, director Yu has made a B-movie that can easily stand next to such giants as Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, and Plan 9 From Outer Space. I, for one, saw Chucky the way it was meant to be seen: in an empty theater on a Monday night, with some friends, and a bunch of drunk guys and four-year-olds yelling at the screen.

...Zombie. With just a sprinkling of self-consciousness and heaps of bad taste (the bad taste in this movie easily surpasses that found in John Waters's recent, limp Pecker), director Yu has made a B-movie that can easily stand next to such giants as Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Plan 9 From Outer Space and Troma classics like Surf Nazis Must Die and Class of Nuke'em High. The concept is not just perfectly ridiculous--that didn't save the dull, dull, dull Leprechaun 4: In Space-- but is also perfectly executed, with humor and style...
