...inspiration from prescription bottles, the Schrodinger's cat paradox and Marlon Brando on Larry King Live. The little gems come at a hefty price--87[cents] each ($1.17 in Canada!)--but are worth it for their expectation-defying musings on philosophers, paparazzi and the word underpants. This is high-wire humor, as pure as the drivel snow...
...increasing the likelihood that Reno would appoint one." And how great is that likelihood? With a month still left on the 90-day clock Reno started on September 8, Shannon says even the attorney general doesn't know yet. "She has a history of going down to the wire."

Hollings' position could motivate Inglis' socially conservative base to get out and vote, but it could also bring pro-Clinton African Americans to the polls.

The near-silent dignity of the man's role is undercut by the way the movie seems to want to characterize him. While Dussander, with a grey beard and wire-rimmed glasses, is a picture a masculine restraint, this man, with bald head and flabby features, sobbing hopelessly at the horror of it all, is portrayed as a mere child by comparison. It is this sort of portrayal that makes Apt Pupil a movie unforgettable and unforgivable...
