DYSFUNCTIONAL AD BOWL - Maybe
it's all those testosterone-charged jocks scrimmaging
on the field, but the Super Bowl has always seemed like
the ultimate event for manly men. So why would this
year's game require not one, but ads from three
different marketers of sexual impotence drugs. Why
else, to pump up their sales. Whatever the reason, all
three of the major erectile dysfunction drugs - Pfizer's
Viagra, Eli Lilly's Cialis and GlaxoSmithKline's and Bayer's
Levitra - will vie for this year's Super Ad Bowl. These,
of course, are not the only unconventional advertisers
to take to the field during this year's Big Game. In fact,
Super Bowl XXXVIII could well be called the Advocacy
Bowl. This year's list of sponsors includes anti-tobacco
campaigner the American Legacy Foundation, as well as
tobacco-booster Philip Morris. But the most interesting
issues spots may be the ones that won't be airing
during the game. CBS has rejected an anti-Bush
campaign developed by MoveOn.org, as well as a spot
from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
(PETA). CBS' reasons for bumping the MoveOn.org spot
might seem logical, but they don't seem fair when you
consider that the network is expected to run an anti-
drug ad from the White House. Meanwhile, the Riff
senses a hidden agenda in the rejection of PETA's ad,
which talked about how eating meat causes impotence.
Then again, the PETA spots might have proven a
perfect set-up for the erectile dysfunction drug
marketers. Alas, it seems you can't have your meat and
eat it too.
EXPANDING THE MEDIA UNIVERSE-
Extraterrestrials apparently like to hang together, even
in the media universe. Sirius, the off-planet radio
network that emanates from space, began beaming live
coverage of NASA's Mars mission briefings Monday-
Friday from noon to 1 p.m. (ET) on its entertainment
stream 135. Never mind that the centerpiece of this
mission, the photo-snapping, six-wheeled Sprint rover,
is a highly visual experience, you'll still be able to listen
along to its escapades while tooling around in your four-
wheeled terrestrial rovers.
STOP THE PRESSES - It's rare to
find a newspaper reporter who doesn't harbor some kind
of grudge against his publisher. Mark Brown got to live
every reporter's dream in his Chicago Sun-Times
column: He delivered a few blows to his (well-
deserving) former boss, ex-Hollinger chief Lord Conrad
Black. "I knew I was working for some sleazeballs, but
who doesn't feel that way sometimes." While he gave
kudos to Lord Black for investing in a new printing
press, he also points out that they treated employees
with contempt and seemed to think of themselves
first: "I knew they were squeezing this place for every
last dime they could wring out of it, but that's generally
viewed as good business practices these days."

MOVIE REVIEWS
The Butterfly Effect
Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart, William Lee Scott,
Elden Henson, John Patrick Amedori, Eric Stoltz, Logan
Lerman
It is likely that a number of reviews are going to
describe The Butterfly Effect as a "science fiction"
movie. Nothing could be further from the truth - little
that occurs during the course of this film relates to
science or technology, and to force The Butterfly
Effect into the genre is a lazy and unwarranted
approach. Although there is a "Twilight Zone" feel to
the proceedings, it's worth noting that many episodes
of Rod Serling's classic TV series gyrated along the line
between fantasy and horror, and that's exactly where
The Butterfly Effect belongs.
The ending is weak, and may be the result of the
filmmakers writing themselves into a corner and not
wanting to conclude things in a burst of nihilistic
excess. Yet, even though it's a cheat, it retains a
degree of resonance, primarily because it doesn't seek
to sabotage the dark tone. In many ways, The
Butterfly Effect is about regrets, and the closing
sequences emphasize this. The film is engrossing
enough to minimize such misgivings, however; few who
enjoy unconventional pictures and see The Butterfly
Effect will regret the experience.
Review sent in by Donna Levinson
Along Came Polly
Cast: Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Seymour
Hoffman, Debra Messing, Alec Baldwin, Hank Azaria,
Bryan Brown
Usually, the problem with romantic comedies is that,
although the "romantic" part of the equation works,
the "comedy" aspect falls flat. With Along Came Polly,
it's the other way around. The film, written and
directed by John Hamburg (Safe Men), has plenty of
funny moments, but there's no chemistry between stars
Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. It's hard to accept that
these two characters are, or even could be, in love.
So, while the film is pleasant and sporadically
entertaining, it can't be considered an unequivocal
success.
Still, it's disappointing that there aren't a few sparks
between the two. Ultimately, Reuben has to decide
whether to spend the rest of this life with Polly or Lisa,
and we find ourselves not caring which way he turns.
It's hard to dismiss the film because it offers enough
laughs to compensate for the lukewarm romance, but
one can't help wishing the filmmakers had concerned
themselves a little more with chemistry and less with
biology.

Latter Days(NY, LA)
Starring: Wesley A. Ramsey, Steve Sandvoss,
Jacqueline Bisset, Mary Kay Place, Erik Palladino, Amber
Benson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rob McElhenney, Dave
Power, Director: C. Jay Cox
Christian is the typical LA gay boy: hot tanned body,
gorgeous looks, and a taste for the one-night stand. By
day, he waits tables at the quaint Lila's where his
sexual conquests are frequently discussed with his co-
workers. One day, new tenants move into Christian's
apartment complex-four young Mormon missionaries,
including the sweet and innocent Elder Aaron. As sexual
tension builds between Christian and Aaron, the Lila's
staff wages a bet that Christian cannot bed his
missionary man. The bet is on, but there is a problem-
Christian is falling in love with his latter-day saint. To
make matters worse, the Mormon condemnation of
homosexuality sends our lovelorn heroes into trials of
regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness.
The Perfect Score
Erika Christensen, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson,
Darius Miles, Bryan Greenberg, Leonardo Nam, Leonardo
Nam, Tyra Ferrell, Director: Brian Robbins
In "The Perfect Score," a group of six high school
students band together and develop a plan to heist the
SAT exam in order to prevent the test from unfairly
defining who they'll become. Each in the group has their
own set of circumstances that lead them to the
conclusion that the only way to truly decide their own
fate is to cheat the system. The unofficial leader of the
group is Kyle, an aspiring architect who dreams of
attending an Ivy League school but repeatedly scores
below what is required for acceptance. He develops the
plan with his best friend Matty, whose low SAT scores
result in a rejection letter from Maryland, the university
that his girlfriend attends. Anna, who desires to meet
her parents' standard of excellence but is badly in need
of some excitement, joins in and brings Desmond into
the fold, the star basketball player who at the urging of
his mother decides to forgo the NBA for college and
needs to pass the SAT to get in. Providing the access
inside the local educational testing headquarters is
Fransesca, an anti-establishment girl who joins in the
scheme for kicks. Completing the group is Roy, a loner
who wants in on the action after accidentally
overhearing the plan. Although the kids seemingly share
nothing in common, they join together and while getting
to know each other, discover themselves in the process.
On the Run: Trilogy 1 (limited)

Muti, Gilbert Melki, Patrick Descamps, Olivier Darimont,
Alexis Tomassian, Yves Claessens, Christine Henkart,
Jean-Henri Roger, Elie Belvaux, Hervé Livet, Eric
Vassard, Zirek, Director: Lucas Belvaux
This film is part of a trilogy, including "An Amazing
Couple" and "After the Life," each a completely different
genre. Bruno Le Roux (Belvaux) breaks out of the prison
in which he's served 15 years of a life sentence for his
membership in an armed wing of a left-wing
revolutionary movement, the Popular Army. Bruno is
determined to continue the fight against capitalist
society, and to avenge his fallen comrades-in-arms. But
most of his former associates are dead or behind bars,
and the others are either unwilling or untrustworthy. He
seeks help from former radical Jeanne (Frot), but she's
now a mother and schoolteacher. Another former
contact is local crime boss Jaquillat (Descamps). Years
earlier, Bruno and Jaquillat had been allies in a bank
robbery, but now Jaquillat's drug dealing is seriously
constrained by the massive police presence as the
manhunt for Bruno continues. It's in Jaquillat's interests
to finish off Bruno. An alliance between Jaquillat and
local cop Pascal Manise (Melki) makes things even more
dangerous for Bruno. Whatever ideals Bruno might once
have had have been distorted by imprisonment and
suffering. Bruno is now willing to kill for the most casual
reasons -- he's turned into a psychopath with nothing
to lose. However, he finds an unexpected ally in Agnes
(Blanc), Manise's junkie wife. Bruno helps her when she
is attacked by a street dealer, and, without really
knowing who he is, she finds him a place to stay, in the
chalet owned by her friend, Cecile (Ornella Muti).

This one is for all of whom:
a) have kids
b) had kids
c) was a kid
d) know a kid!
As I was packing for my business trip, my 3-year old
daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the
bed. At one point, she said, "Daddy, look at this," and
stuck out two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck
her tiny fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna
eat your fingers!" pretending to eat them before I
rushed out of the room again.
When I returned, my daughter was standing on the bed
staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her
face.
I said, "What's wrong, honey?"
She replied, "What happened to my booger?"

Title: Beyond the Horizon
Author: Douglas Boren
Publisher: Publish America (July 2003)
Paperback; 313pp
ISBN: 1592864309
$24.95
Rating: Recommended
Adventure in the West
The plot of "Beyond the Horizon" is the survival and
trials of the two dominant characters thru the civil war,
Mace Alexander, and his best friend, Tom Lupton.
From the time you open the pages of "Beyond the
Horizon" you can feel the raw power and grittiness of it
all. A time when the west was, still, just an infant. The
author, Douglas Boren has filled the pages with many
heroic experiences and interesting additional characters
mixed in.
The reader is flung into battles between the Union,
Mexican-American war and Indians and settlers. One-
man finds his soul mate and another having lost his was
left with the possibility of building another relationship
in time. But you do not have to take my word for it,
pick up a copy and see just how quickly you find
yourself in the midst of a battle landscape, smelling the
gun powder, firsthand.
The camaraderie Boren builds with the characters is
great because you feel the friendship and hardships
between them as they take you along their journey.
The author brilliantly brings the reader into the story
with these relationships thru these characters and the
actions that drive them forward. So much that you find
yourself relating to experiences you have had with your
own good friends, as well as rooting for the heroes.
Boren is very knowledgeable about the era and the
surroundings of his story. I thought that the pace of
the book with the lengthy and brutal descriptions might
deter other readers in completing this well thought out
tale. Meaning this Wild West epic saga is definitely not
for everyone. Although, history buffs will find and
delight in its accurate and interesting descriptive.
I would recommend this book for readers age 17 and
up. I think the story content and descriptions of adult
situations do not warrant readers younger that this
age. The descriptions were in good taste, but more for
the adult reader.

Children of Plains Estates
Author: Claudette Milner
Publisher: PublishAmerica; (July 2003)
Paperback: 168pp
ISBN: 1413704247
$19.95
Rating: Highly Recommended
From the mouths of Babes!
Claudette Milner's novel, Children of Plains Estates is
the perfect definition for the melting pot
called "America."
The story unfolds among the children and parents of
Plains Estates subdivision. There are two schools that
these middle aged children attend, Radcliffe the
prestigious private school and Glendale public
elementary. The author reveals the differences, fears,
and challenges of these families through the eyes of
the children. In spite of their diversities, the children
develop close friendships, which cause them to share
the family secrets with one another. The parents
concern for their own children cause them to bond and
seek solutions for these problems, for the sake of the
children.
During several community and school activities, it is
discovered that Debbie's mom is an alcoholic, Rita has
sickle cell, Tammy is adopted, and Stacey, a Radcliffe
student has aids. Also one of Radcliffe's top athlete's is
dealing drugs! To add insult to injury, the school board
has allowed the enrollment of an African-American
student as well.
The camaraderie of Plains Estates awakened past
memories for this reviewer. As a child growing up in a
metropolitan city, we had block units. These block units
were established and comprised by parents in the
community who organized committees, supervised
protection, and planned activities for the youth. We, as
neighbors, knew each other well and watched out for
one another. Presently I have lived in my house for
over six years and only know the first names of those
that live on either side of me. Whereas in the past one
not only knew his neighbors first and last name, but
also people were less fearful and more trusting of one
another with higher moral values.
In comparison, today people are overly cautiously
related to high crime, increase use of drugs and
decrease of moral values.
The author brilliantly uses simplistic views and emotions
of children to expose "our" prejudices, bigotries, and
unfounded apprehensions based on lack of knowledge
and understanding of cultural, racial, physical, and
psychological differences.
I applaud you Ms. Milner, this novel; "Children of Plains
Estates" could easily be viewed as the poster child for
diversity training. It causes one to reflect on what
individual adjustments can be made to ensure peaceful
harmony in the face of diversity.

For Aspiring Writers | |
The Act of Creation
Most major religions have a creation story. When we
create, our process as creators is similar to the process
of the Creator(s).
In some creation stories, creation does not come from
nothingness, but gives form to something that was
once formless. In the Judeo-Christian religions, the
Word brings forth the world, beginning with Light
(inspiration and illumination) and giving shape and
substance to matter. The Word spoken, the word on
the page, begins the process.
Like the Creator, the artist also builds and shapes and
brings new worlds into being. In some ways, the two
closet art forms to this work of the Spirit are sculpture
and writing. The sculptor takes clay and clay and gives it form,
sometimes even breathing life into it, as Geppetto did
with Pinocchio and Pygmation did with his Galatea and
Dr. Frankenstein did with his monster and God did with
Adam.
Fiction writing creates human forms by incarnating the
word into character. Screenwriting and playwriting go a
step further. Actors become the character, bringing
this new human being into life.
In the Jewish mystical tradition described in the
Kabbalah, there is another part to the process. In one
interpretation, The Divine Energies pull back or contract
to make room for the world and allow human beings free
will. God steps back, just as the writer also has to pull
back and let his or her characters speak and act and
find their way. Just as God is invisible, the writer also
has to be invisible. It is a letting go --- while still
remaining in relationship with the creation. Free will,
and choosing to relinquish control, are part of the
process.
Just as many creation accounts say that we are made
in the image of the Creator, so too are your characters
created in your image. They incarnate your values and
ideas and insights and experiences. Your work as a
writer is to breathe life into your characters and to
make them count for something. You are making
something out of of that which is without form -- a
vague theme, the slight stirring of some new idea, the
beginning images, the shady outline of a character. You
are showing us what you think is important about a
character's relation to his or her culture. And,
hopefully, you do it with a love of humanity, which is at
the heart of most world religions and spiritual practices.

Craftsmanship
In a previous article I touched on the subject of
whether to select surprise or suspense when writing
comedy. Beginning writers are frequently tempted to
opt for surprise, but more often than not, you can mine
much more humor by opting for suspense.
Today, I want to point out how suspense is often much
more powerful than surprise when writing dramatic
pieces.
In a recent rewrite I did which was a romantic drama,
there is a point in the original version where the female
protagonist is really depressed because her love life
totally sucks. Then, suddenly it seems like her life may
take a turn for the better because out of the past
appears a good looking ex-boyfriend who asks her out.
Unfortunately, just as we're getting our hopes up for
our protagonist, she is sucker-punched again when she
finds out that he's now gay and just wanted to add
some closure to their previous relationship.
It definitely had dramatic impact, but their evening
together had only limited tension because it seemed to
be going nicely until he dropped the bomb. Instead I
revealed to the audience that the ex-boyfriend was
gay immediately after he gets off the phone with our
protagonist to arrange their date by showing him
interact with his current boyfriend.
Now, the whole time you see our protagonist prepare
for her date by buying a new dress, gabbing gleefully
with her friends you cringe as you have strong feelings
about her upcoming severe disappointment. The same
applies as their evening begins. Everything she does
and that happens is suddenly so much more intense
because the viewer knows something she doesn't and
we are much more emotionally hooked as we watch the
events unfold, knowing that it's going to be an ugly
mess.
So, whatever genre you're writing, always see if there
is a way in which you can harvest more emotional
response by choosing suspense over surprise.

SETTING THE STAGE
The lights go down, the curtain goes up. The first thing
you see is the scenery.
Notice how every science fiction movie or television
show starts with a shot of the location where the story
is about to occur. Movies that take place in outer
space always start with a shot of stars and a
spaceship. Movies that take place on another world
always start with a shot of the planet. This is to let
you know where you are.
Novels and stories start the same way. You have to
give the reader a sense of where he is and what's
happening as quickly as possible. You don't want to
start the story by confusing the reader.
Some science fiction writers start out with a whole
chapter explaining the planet; they tell you how big it
is, whether the gravity is higher or heavier, how long
are the years, what the atmosphere is made of, what
kind of seasons, what is the temperature range, what
lives there, and even what color the sky appears to be.
Some writers spend long chapters giving you detailed
histories of the civilization, or explaining how the alien
society works. Some stories need that kind of stage-
setting, and an effective writer knows how to hold the
reader's attention while leisurely setting the stage; but
for most writers --- especially beginners -- it's best to
get into the story quickly and hold much of that
exposition until later, when it's needed. | |

Think "Headlines"
IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT HEADLINES. Headlines are
signals or road signs that give order to the glut of
information that pervades our world. By identifying
what things are about, they let us make choices and
decide what to read. Like their cousin, the sound bite,
headlines are symbols of our times, an era when
everything must be packaged to sell quickly. Today, no
one seems to have time for the whole story; they want
the quick version, the one line that will tell them what
the story is about. As a result, we're living in a world of
headlines.
Look at the Internet, where messages of maximum
clarity must be delivered in minimal space. Web pages
feature words or short statements (headlines) that you
click on to link to additional content. The purpose of
headlines is to capture readers' attention and to get
them to read the material that the headline touts.
Headlines are the equivalent of book, CD, and DVD
titles that inform us what lies within.
All good headlines have 3 characteristics in common.
They are clearly written and concisely worded and will
cause the reader to seek more information.
Clarity is rule #1. It MUST jump out!
Conciseness is essential because most people won't
take the trouble to read long headlines. Long headlines
defeat the purpose of a headline.
Cleverness: Witty headlines attract
attention. However, watch out! Drafting clever, catchy
headlines can have a dangerous downside by diverting
writers from more important objectives.
In their desire to create witty headlines, writers may
fail to cleary convey the message. They also may fall
victim to the sins of being too cute and cloying. Never
sacrifice clarity to be clever. Cleverness can be elusive.
Often, writers draw blanks and can't come up with
clever headlines. When that occurs, and it will, simply
compose clear and concise headlines.
