- Film Reviews: The Wayans are gone but the laughs are back. Franchise is now in the directorial hands of Jerry Zucker, who kick-started its umpteen-gags-per-hour parody ilk with "Airplane!" in 1980.

- Film Reviews: A roundly entertaining romantic comedy, "Love Actually" is still nearly as cloying as it is funny. Cheeky wit, impossibly attractive cast and sure-handed professionalism are beguiling, qualities which, along with its all-encompassing romanticism, should make this a highly popular early holiday attraction for adults on both sides of the pond. |

It is all about revenue. And there is nothing wrong with that if we all just say it out loud and admit the truth. |

- In the 7th century AD, thousands of scrolls and documents housed in the Libary of Alexandria (the preeminent library of its time), were lost to the fires of marauding invaders. Most of that information was never recovered. Such is the danger of physical records. While we have a romantic attachment to books, their physical presence is really their greatest weakness. They are amazingly vulnerable to all manner of destructive forces, including fire, water, and outright aging (ink durability, acidity of paper, etc. |
