The Adventures of Huck Finn

Huckleberry Finn's age has been scaled down in this 1993 Disney film in order to accommodate star Elijah Wood's young years at the time. But that's not the only concession Mark Twain's great American novel must make to Disney revisionism. Wood's Huck, as adapted for the screen by writer-director Stephen Sommers, is all rascal and only nominally a philosopher, which takes a lot of the soul out of Twain's extraordinary story about Huck's enlightenment while traveling with the slave Jim (Courtney B. Vance) along the Mississippi river. Big chunks of the journey are also minimized in significance, and not just for the sake of storytelling economy. Jason Robards Jr. and Robbie Coltrane brighten things up, but overall this is an unnecessarily simplified version of an important story. --Tom Keogh
Mark Twain's classic tale of the adventures of a young boy on the Mississippi and the fascinating characters he meets is given a rich treatment by the Disney Studios. Elijah Wood is the adventurous Huck, who befriends runaway slave Jim (Courtney B. Vance) and meets the crafty con men King (Jason Robards, Jr.) and Duke (Robbie Coltrane). 110 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital Surround, Spanish Dolby Digital stereo, French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: Spanish, French; audio commentary; featurette.

If you've ever wanted to hear Jack Nicholson sing (or try to) or marvel at the sight of Ann-Margret drunkenly cavorting in a cascade of baked beans, Tommy is the movie you've been waiting for. As it turns out, the Who's brilliant rock opera is sublimely matched to director Ken Russell's penchant for cinematic excess, and this 1975 production finds Russell at the peak of his filmmaking audacity. It's a fever-dream of musical bombast, custom-fit to the thematic ambition of Pete Townshend's epic rock drama, revolving around the titular "deaf, dumb, and blind kid" (played by Who vocalist Roger Daltrey) who survives the childhood trauma that stole his senses to become a Pinball Wizard messiah in Townshend's grandiose attack on the hypocrisy of organized religion. The story is remarkably coherent considering the hypnotic dream-state induced by Russell's visuals. Tommy's odyssey is rendered through wall-to-wall music, each song representing a pivotal chapter in Tommy's chronology, from the bloodstream shock of "The Acid Queen" (performed to the hilt by Tina Turner) to Nicholson's turn as a well-intentioned physician, Elton John's towering rendition of "Pinball Wizard," and Daltrey's epiphanous rendition of "I'm Free." Other performers include Eric Clapton and (most outrageously) the Who's drummer Keith Moon, and through it all Russell is almost religiously faithful to Townshend's artistic vision. Although it divided critics when first released, Tommy now looks likes a minor classic of gonzo cinema, worthy of the musical genius that fueled its creation. --Jeff Shannon
The Who's innovative rock opera gets an electrifying, eye-popping film treatment from director Ken Russell. Roger Daltrey plays the "deaf, dumb and blind kid" whose pinball prowess makes him a global sensation; Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, and Jack Nicholson also star. Songs include "Pinball Wizard," "The Acid Queen," "See Me, Feel Me." 111 min. Standard and Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.0, Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.

The #1 Opera Album
List Price: $17.98

The labels that are now gathered under the Universal Classics umbrella have a pretty impressive scorecard in the area of classical compilations. We've seen The Greatest Opera Show on Earth, The Yellow Guide: Classical Music, Best of the Millennium, and now there's The No. 1 Opera Album. But that's no surprise, since Universal has some of the finest interpreters in its catalogue to draw from. This two-CD set (at the price of one), for example, brings together the likes of Cecilia Bartoli, Renée Fleming, Luciano Pavarotti, Kiri Te Kanawa, Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, and many more. Yet the other key to a successful compilation is canny anthologizing, and here again, you have a nice selection to give you a smattering of opera's heavyweights from the Italian, German, and French repertory (there's even a step outside the standard framework with an aria from Dvorák's lovely Rusalka). Ranging from 1959 to 1997, the choices from back catalogue will doubtless be the entry ticket for many into this grandest of the arts. --Sarah Chin

Even as Disney has reveled in the success of its high-end animated features, it occasionally sneaks a lesser effort into theaters, based on one of the many TV shows with which it dominates daytime TV. This one is based on perennial Disney favorite Goofy's adventures in domesticated bliss. Goofy is now a single dad; when son Max gets blamed for a prank gone wrong at school, Goofy blames himself and decides that, for his vacation, he's going to get away with Max alone. Of course, this is no treat for Max, who has just met the girl of his dreams and harbors no wish to spend the summer touring America with his square dad. The vacation is one disaster after another, though they aren't particularly funny disasters; the culmination involves Goofy's efforts to get Max backstage at a big rock concert. Strictly for young fans of the TV show. --Marshall Fine

Action and comedy mix in this fast-paced adaptation of Janet Evanovich's bestseller. Recently divorced and out of work, Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl) takes a job as a bounty hunter with her cousin's bail bond business. But her first high-stakes assignment proves to be more complicated than she thought when she's sent to track down a bail-jumping ex-cop (Jason O'Mara) who just so happens to be an old high school flame. With Daniel Sunjata, John Leguizamo, Sherri Shepherd, and Debbie Reynolds. 91 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, Spanish; featurettes; deleted scene; gag reel; theatrical trailer.
A film based on the incredibly popular Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, One for the Money reveals an unexpectedly versatile Katherine Heigl. This model-turned-actress is best known for her role as Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy and for starring in various lighthearted romantic comedies, but here Heigl takes on the meaty role of Plum, a laid-off lingerie buyer who turns bondswoman in a desperate attempt to pay the rent and put food on the table. Heigl is surprisingly believable as a blue-collar working girl who thinks fast on her feet and is not afraid to throw herself into the middle of even the most dangerous situation--especially if it means getting what she wants. Of course, Stephanie's impulsiveness manages to get her into all sorts of awkward and potentially life-threatening situations. Throw in her desire for payback against an old boyfriend, a sleazy cousin, a gang of ruthless criminals, a couple of most unexpected allies, and a quirky family who can think of little more than setting her up with a good husband, and you've got an enticing blend of drama, action, and comedy. Debbie Reynolds is quite funny as Grandma Mazur, Daniel Sunjata makes a great Ranger, and there's definitely a nice chemistry between Heigl and Jason O'Mara. Bonus features include an 11-minute making-of featurette, a 10-minute look at some real-life "bond girls," a gag reel, and one deleted scene. --Tami Horiuchi

Here are some more information for John Anne:

Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of Diabetes. Although this is a chronic disease that can lead to other more serious, and sometimes life-threatening illnesses and diseases, there are treatments that work successfully in the prevention and management of the disease.
Type 2 Diabetes Treatment
Type 2 Diabetes treatment requires a life-long commitment. The goal of Diabetes treatment plan is to control the blood sugar level in your body and to help make the cells in your body less resistant to insulin. If you are diagnosed with this Diabetes, or even if you are at a higher risk of the onset of the illness, it is important that you begin a Diabetes treatment and prevention plan as soon as possible. A successful Type 2 Diabetes treatment plan will involve monitoring your blood sugar level as well as doing things that will minimize the onset of symptoms.
If you have been diagnosed with this disease, the first step in your Type 2 Diabetes treatment plan is educating yourself and learning as much as you can about the prevention and management of the disease. The disease is a chronic, life-long disease that can result in the onset of more serious and sometimes life-threatening illnesses, such as heart disease and stroke.
There are certain things that can cause changes in your blood sugar levels. These include foods, lack of physical activity, medications, other illnesses, consumption of alcohol, stress, and fluctuation in hormone levels experienced by women during the menstrual cycle. Knowing the factors that can contribute to changes in your blood sugar levels and monitoring your blood sugar levels on a regular basis can help to greatly reduce the risks of increased blood sugar levels.
An extremely important part of this type of Diabetes treatment program is healthy diet. There are many foods that contribute to the increase in blood sugar levels, and while it may not be necessary to completely avoid these foods, it is necessary to balance these foods with a healthy diet of that is high in nutrition and low in fat. A healthy diet should include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole-grain foods. Not only will a healthy diet give you more energy and an overall good feeling, but a healthy diet combined with a regular exercise regimen can help to eliminate obesity, one of the leading factors in the onset of this disease..
Regular exercise along with a healthy diet can help to prevent or delay the onset of this type of Diabetes symptoms. Regular exercise helps to maintain your muscles, cardiovascular system, and nervous system - all of which work together to make your cells less resistant to the insulin that your body creates naturally.
For some people, a Type 2 Diabetes treatment plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercising, and close monitoring of blood sugar levels may not be enough to prevent the disease from worsening and causing the onset of more serious complication. In these cases, your physician may recommend that your diabetes plan include medications or insulin therapy. Before you begin a treatment that involves medication, be sure to discuss with your physician any possible side effects and any interactions with other drugs or foods that may occur.
Lifelong Commitment
A successful Type 2 Diabetes treatment plan requires a lifetime commitment that involves leading a healthy lifestyle, monitoring blood sugar levels, and working to prevent or delay any serious complications that may be caused by this disease. As with most anything that you embark on in life, education is going to be the key to your success. And, in the case of this disease, the saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is right on spot. This disease can be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle as early in life as possible. Not only does this decreases the risk of contracting this type of Diabetes, but decreases your risk of many other illnesses that may be more serious and life threatening. Remember, healthy is as healthy does.

Book Review: Anne Rice: Christ the Lord Out of Egypt
This review is based on the paperback edition of Anne Rice's novel, 'Christ the Lord Out of Egypt'.
I must admit that as a past reader of Anne Rice vampire novels, I was prepared for a different experience than what I encountered by reading this book. My son gave me my first Anne Rice novel at Christmas a few years ago, and he followed up with more of her paperbacks on subsequent birthdays, Mothers' Days, and Christmases.
Many of Anne Rice's previous novels are dark, yet strongly compelling, reading. You might find your mind wandering as you wade through paragraph after paragraph of descriptive details that, while setting the scene, sometimes distract you from the storyline. However, her stories always seize your interest. You might skim over the flowery descriptions, but you are always entranced by the characters in their search for something bigger than themselves.
In this book Anne talks about something bigger than all of us - and succeeds in eliciting strong emotions accompanied by occasional tears. This is a simply written account, narrated from the point of view of a young Jesus.
Unlike earlier novels, she restricts the descriptive language to a level which accurately depicts the time, customs, and surroundings - without distracting from the story's progression. The book has been carefully researched. Historical facts are intertwined with dialogue and narrative in a way that makes them come alive to the reader.
Young Jesus surprisingly commits a huge sin in the third paragraph of the first page. This startled me! My perspective of Jesus has always been one of God personified in the flesh - and God would never sin! That first page raised my hackles and I almost put the novel down in disgust.
However, it was a Christmas present from my son, and I felt compelled to read it for his sake. I certainly didn't think that Anne Rice was going to tell a story about the Jesus Christ I knew from reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Without a doubt, I am overjoyed that I read the book right to the end. It cleared up a mystery that has plagued me for years: Why did Jesus have to die to save me? This answer had been given to me many times in sermons and in the Bible itself. However, I never completely understood it until I read this book.
Whatever you do - don't skip to the end of the novel to discover the answer. Without absorbing the narrative, chapter by chapter, you will not comprehend the last two pages.
Anne has wavered from Roman Catholicism to atheism, and back to Roman Catholicism. She relates in the paperback edition why she made a promise to dedicate her life to God.
The introductory pages of the novel include a map showing the northern part of Egypt and the areas of the Holy Land that are mentioned in the story. The back of the book includes an 'Author's Note' and 'Note to the Paperback Edition'. Here, Anne describes a bit of her background, her research techniques, and her conversion back to Christianity.
No matter what your religious beliefs, you will find this novel an interesting read. I intend to buy several to give away to friends and relatives.
Christ the Lord Out of Egypt - by Anne Rice
Paperback Edition ISBN: 0-7704-3013-9
Hardcover Edition ISBN: 0-6769-7768-5
*Anne Rice has kindly provided the following thoughts on this review:
'I do personally believe that Jesus was sinless, and in my novel the intention is to present Him as absolutely sinless. In the opening scenes He does not kill anyone. He 'feels the power go out of Him'. Rather like the similar passage of the Gospel of Mark when the hemorrhaging woman is healed by touching His robe.
'Take care and have a good year,
'Anne Rice'

Can anyone recommend a good book to read?
I have read all published books of authors: J. A. Jance, Patricia Cornwell, John Grisham, Orson Scott Card, Anne McCaffrey, Dee Henderson, Jan Karon, and Janet Evanovich. This month I think my favorite author is J. D. Robb; I feel like I know Eve. I wish she had a new book coming out. I am looking for a new author. I like murder mysteries, Christian fiction, hard sci-fi, detective fiction.
I tend to recommend authors as opposed to individual books. I also like hard SF, so here are some suggestions.
For hard SF with a cyberpunk flavor, try William Gibson or Neal Stephenson. Gibson's Neuromancer trilogy is excellent. I love Snow Crash by Stephenson, and Cryptonomicon is good as well.
Sheri S Tepper writes an interesting brand of hard SF that's hard to describe. I'd recommend either Grass or Beauty as good novels to read by her.
Connie Willis has some time travel novels (Doomsday Book and To Say nothing of the Dog) that mix SF, romance and comedy. I love both of them.
If you've never read any of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, give them a try. If you've ever read Douglas Adams and liked his work, you'll like Pratchett as well.
Douglas Adams - if you've never read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, go out and do it now.
Neil Gaiman - excellent writer. Neverwhere is a particular favorite of mine. Lots of people recommend American Gods, but I prefer Neverwhere. He and Terry Pratchett wrote a book called Good Omens, which is a comedy about the apocalypse. It's great.
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child - they write thrillers with a SF twist to them, and are best known for Relic. There's a whole series featuring characters from that novel, and they're all pretty good thrillers. These guys are good rainy day reading.
