It's exciting to see someone smartly addressing alternative relationships. Fans of Vicki will love the similar, but much more dangerous, romance written about by a Harvard Grad and real Romanian dancers "Caribbean Dreams: TRUE STORY of an Ivy League Couple who Bought a STRIP CLUB in the Caribbean" www.caribbeanstripclub.com

Tropic Thunder makes blackface cool again. I don't think it's kosher that Ben Stiller thinks he can be the one to tell people what's wrong with societal norms. It's like Jim Carrey's sons in Me, Myself and Irene. They made them the most despicable black stereotypes imaginable but made them geniuses just so they could get away with that depiction. In this case, they made blackface as a hot topic. It's like saying "nigger is not nice to say" 300 times. The message is that nigger is not nice to say but you've just said it 300 times!

I dunno, Tropic Thunder got really great reviews here in D.C. And is is currently at 82 percent favorable on rottentomatoes.com.

"A Girl Cut in Two" is also playing on Time Warner's Movies On Demand. That's what I'll be doing on one of these rainy weekend afternoons.
