...years old"--the film weaves a spell of magnolia and menace. This 10-year-old is Eve (Jurnee Smollett), second daughter of Dr. Louis Batiste (Samuel L. Jackson) and his elegant wife Roz (Lynn Whitfield). Louis pushes charm as much as pills, and the local ladies swoon at his touch. "To a certain type of woman," he notes, "I am a hero. I need to be a hero." Eve and her sister Cisely (Meagan Good), 14, need him to be one too, and when he proves a sinner, they are devastated. His crime may have been that he didn...
...remember "the mess over busy signals" as if it no longer exists. As a current AOL subscriber, I can attest that in many areas access is still a problem. Case and AOL management are as out of touch with their customers' desires as anyone can be. From its failure to have enough technical-support representatives to its censorship policies, AOL demonstrates that it cares about its stockholders more than its customers.

Dole's remarking that "Some of the things that we read about don't return as quickly as advertised" after prostate surgery just reminded...
Lots of folks enjoy the campy, vampy antics of Fox TV's prime-time soap opera Melrose Place. Not me. Instead, I've been glued to a true-life Web spin-off that's even sudsier than the real thing. The bad guys are a powerful-but-out-of-touch Hollywood media Goliath and the clueless lawyers who do his evil bidding. The hero is a digital David, an aspiring and nearly penniless (at least compared with Aaron Spelling) writer who's about to be dragged into court by Goliath's henchmen. Best of all, there are no commercials...
