Entertainment
PICKS OF THE WEEK
"The Muppets" (PG) --
The felt hasn't faded a bit.
The Muppets return with
all of their innocence and
silliness without coming
off as too dated. The story
follows Walter, a young,
puppet-like fellow, and his
friends Gary (Jason Segel)
and Mary (Amy Adams) •
as they go on a journey to
reunite the Muppets and
save the Muppet Theatre
from evil oil tycoons.
A bit of self-referential
humor helps blow the dust
off the franchise, but the
rest of the show is pure
new energy. The freshness
has even been endorsed
by the Academy, as "The
Muppets" won the Oscar
for best original song.
Segel, who helped write
the script, is a musically
inclined, goofy-grin kind
of guy who beams real
admiration for the Muppets
and fits right in as a human
sidekick.
"The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo" (R) -
- David Fincher ("Fight
Club," "Se7en") directs
this mystery-novel adap-
tation with his eye for the
dark and grungy. A wealthy
old businessman calls on a
legally troubled journalist
(Daniel Craig) to solve a
decades-old missing-person
mystery. Craig enlists the
help of the titular inked
young woman (Rooney
Mara), a damaged, devi-
ant, sneering, whip-smart
computer hacker.
The film stumbles a bit
in storytelling, but sells it
all on style. If complicated
characters and relationships
taking a grim look at the
demons beneath surface of
Swedish society appeal to
you, then pick up the book
or see the Swedish film
adaptation. If a slightly
sillier, more veneered ver-
sion is all you have time
for, then this Hollywood
take will do fine.
"Tinker Tailor Soldier
Spy" (R) -- This British spy
flick is all about subtlety,
paranoia and brain-raking
anxiety. Gary Oldman
plays George Smiley, a
disgraced spy brought
back into the agency to
ferret out a double agent.
It's dense, dark and darn
good for those who can get
their teeth into it.
This is as far from 007 as
a British espionage thriller
can get. Make no mistake,
it is a thriller -- in its own,
gaunt, dimly lit, grey-skies
kind of way. The twisted
mysteries and intrigue
can pay off as much as
any chase-scene with a
rocket-powered submarine/
automobile.

in the park, one kid hits

Brooklyn apartment to
settle things amicably and

Twice a year my home
undergoes a face lift. I
refresh my living areas to
either come out of hiberna-
tion in the spring or cozily
nestle in for the winter.
Being a busy woman of
humble means I look for
ways to achieve a change
of scene and mood with the
least amount of effort.
Room lifts are not perma-
nent changes. If they take
more than an afternoon or
two, the lift becomes a
chore banished to the to-
do list forever. Here are
some ideas for spring.
Ambiance changes' with
color. Go bold. Throw
pillows, throws and pillow
shams are the easiest way
to bring bright colors into
a room. Often designers
look for a subtle hue in
the upholstery or wallpa-
per and choose a similar
contrasting color. This
summer, find that color and
go to the opposite side of
the color wheel! This may
seem offensive to the eye at
first, but consider the pur-
pose-we are coming out
of hibernation by stimu-
lating the senses. Look in
the closeout department or
flawed merchandise sales.
Mismatched or broken
sets are usually the best
bargains.
Moving to the windows,
changing or adding a
valance to existing curtains
changes a room. Formal
drapes can be pulled back
with a sharp contrasting,
tailored sash (that matches
the throws and pillows?).
Turn on the Pollyanna
charm in a formal dining

Poor little Left accidentally
spilled the beans to Bill. It was
obvious that he surprised even
himself. However, his innate
integrity kicked in and he had
to confess that Colton did
want to vote Bill out. Then
poor Leif had to tell Colton
that he told. His goodness is
too good for his own good!

believable!
Nelly little Colton has
every single member of the
MISFITS and the MUSCLES
groveling at his despicable
feet! I actually fek"sick to my
stomach" watching grown
men sniveling and cowering.
The entire tribe of men are
intimidated and afraid of one
little gay guy! In the words
of Charlie Brown, "Good
Grief!" One minute the men
are calling the women's ath-
area with a large stiffly,
starched bow to draw back
the drapes. Add a basket
of silk flowers to the side-
bar or table to awaken the
country atmosphere.
Many windows today
are inset with blinds and
framed with a lightweight
swag rather than formal
drapes. It is not too
expensive to change out
the swag for a different
color, but I'm looking for
face lifts not makeovers.
Instead, purchase some
silky cording about one
inch in diameter. On each
side of the window, gather
the sheer drapes and tie the
cording around it, drawing
the material in and up, and
allowing it to billow over
the cord. Position two ties
on each side at levels that
satisfy your visual taste
buds. The "puddles" of
the swag will disappear
into the billows. Add
tassels to the cording if
desired, or allow it to
remain unseen.
Simple centerpieces and
table toppings will perk up
a room. Begin by elimi-
nating the clutter of tissue
boxes and remotes. Slip
them into a drawer or onto
a lower shelf. Clear glass
jars and vases are wonder-
ful for bringing color into
a room. Colored water,
using child-safe food col-
oring is an excellent area
brightener. Jar shapes,
sizes and volume are plen-
tiful and combinations of
shapes and colors make
your choices near limit-
less.
Use tumbled stones or
glass chips, baubles or even
aquarium gravel to achieve
a similar effect. Envision
a large vase partially filled
with decorative white
stone, positioned against
a warm taupe wall. Add
a brightly colored entry
mat, and the earthy tones
become daring and creative
without losing the warmth
of the home.
Rice paper lamp shades,
reed mats, entry and area
rugs all have the ability to
lighten the feel of a room.
Bargains are often found at
tag sales and overstocked
stores. Remember, room
lifts are to lighten not
burden, so don't let it
become one !
