...spooked and happy. They don't make pictures like these anymore. Case in point: Legal Eagles. It ought to work. Robert Redford can give good suave; Debra Winger could be Audrey Hepburn (or Kate) brought down to earth. The plot ransacks honorable sources: bantering, romancing lawyers from Adam's Rib, silky threats at an art auction from North by Northwest, the murderer and his motive from Charade. The movie's Manhattan locations exploit some of the most glamorous spots in Greenwich Village and Tribeca. Wallpapering the film is the work of 37 modern artists, which was flown at great expense...

...couple readily agreed. But on June 14, M.W. and T.W. were removed by court order to the home of an aunt.

...area pregnant / Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist but you lovely bitches and hoes should know I’m trying to correct this.” “Think About It,” the album’s fourth track, is the real standout. A hilarious rib at the state-of-the-world songs that come around every few years, the duo managed to perfectly recreate the strolling rhythm and world beat feel of 2001’s all-star benefit song “What’s Going On.” Everything from...
