Pirate Latitudes

Found and published after the author's death. Pirate Latitudes is one swashbuckling read. As is always the case, Michael Crichton is a master of the pen; his works always enjoyable, enlightening and well- researched.

The Bourne Objective

Eric Van Lustbader continues the Ludlum tradition and then some- mercenaries & assassins, mysterious organization, King Solomon's Gold, and of course, Leonid Danilovich Arkadin.

Morihei Ueshiba & Aikido

"Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment."

Damn Yankees: Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise

See TomKat purr and meow their way at the A Fine Romance Benefit gala for The Motion Picture and Television fund into the hearts of the fortunate audience who witnessed them perform "Whatever Lola Wants" from the musical Damn Yankees in Los Angeles.

Amid the surprise and laughs, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes proved that they are both game and natural performers whether it is on the stage or in film.

Did this number also show that whatever Katie Holmes wants from her hubby, she gets it?

Happy Birthday Elvis!

Among the names enshrined in the pantheon of music, there is only one name that stands out among the legends. Among the names etched in our memory, there is only one name that is never forgotten. And in the history of Rock and Roll, there is only one true King-

ELVIS

John Lennon summed it all up best, “Before Elvis, there was nothing.”

Cloud NINE

Despite the lousy box office showing and some critics bashing it to high heavens, I still loved

NINE.



Sorry folks but I fell in love with Marion Cotillard a long time ago and after watching this film I guess I can honestly say that I still am. She'll haunt you with her voice. She'll kill you with her eyes. She's just a beautiful presence on the screen.



The movie is not the best one that I have seen in years but I'll take it especially in this age of bad sequels and screw- up comedies. At least this is way better than The Love Guru or worse, The Hangover.

Fergie is a great revelation. Judi Dench is steady. Nicole Kidman is as luminous as ever. And Sophia Loren is just Sophia Loren.

Be Italian... Be Italian...



Daniel Day Lewis é meraviglioso. Marion Cotillard é fantastico..Kate Hudson é stupendo...




BUT



Penélope Cruz is just downright funny and fiery.

Excelente!
