...Octopus Girl, with a look of deep concern, followed quickly by, "I put those centipedes in her outfit. That's the first bitch down!" Labeled for "mature" readers, but without an ounce of maturity, Toru Yamazaki's pukingly funny Octopus Girl reads like the notebook of a secretly talented schoolgirl ostracized as "scary...
...time however, grainy, sepia-toned footage tells us we’re in Mexico. The familiar saga gets a Tijuana re-telling: sweaty, mustached older greaseball takes advantage of 14-year-old future nun, sleeps with some other chick in a tube top, then somehow convinces no-longer-virginal schoolgirl to…come and work in his bar? The formerly clean-cut Killers have all donned silk bolo ties for the occasion and made admirable attempts at growing greasy mustaches and under-washed ponytails of their own. Whether this is done for authenticity’s sake or simply...

But the visiting vixen's midriff-baring, miniskirted image rings true enough to have prompted a neologism--SKINTERNS--as well as efforts to make young women more presentable in Capitol Hill's still starchy environment. One intern coordinator marks...
...However, during his musical numbers, Minervini dropped the old man act and belted with the clarity and intensity of a Broadway veteran—resulting in a hilariously incongruent performance. Goldstein was equally impressive as Marianne. The role required her to shift between being a naïve schoolgirl and a jailbaiting temptress, and she did so seamlessly. She even demonstrated formidable hip-hop chops during the musical’s zany rap interludes. Goldstein’s saccharine sweet voice was oddly matched to the Lil’ Kim worthy lyrics she was required to recite...
