...charms that are performed on us, while good, are only sleight of hand—and only partially redeem a plodding movie. Even the spells at the end are occasionally flawed as horrors miraculously reappear to an almost-comical effect. Many will be seduced to sleep without ever realizing that “The Skeleton Key” actually has a little something to offer. This little something is still not quite enough for moviegoers to curse themselves with a $10 ticket, but for those who keep watching, it will conjure goose bumps...
...would a sport vanish from a country? And how does it then reappear and flourish? The first question is the harder one, and answering it involves a short trip through history.

...she’s disheveled, drunk or both. When she wakes from a harrowing sleep during her flight to London, Messing turns on her classic Lucille Ball face – big eyes, cheeks streaked with mascara, frizzy red hair nested on her head. The same face begins to reappear after a few rounds of flaming shots at her sister’s bachelorette party, a night leading to a drunken encounter involving an ATM machine and a tryst in a boat. Messing succeeds as a comedienne faced with the absurdity of a full-time male escort. But sadly...
