PICKS OF THE WEEK
"The Iron Lady" (PG-13)
-- Meryl SWeep pulls a full-
force Streep-a-thon in this
scattershot biopic about Mar-
garet Thatcher. England's
controversial conservative
prime minister. Framed by
the quasi-coherent mutterings
of the elderly Thatcher in her
late-life mental decline, the
film shows a highlight reel of
Thatcher's life and career.
This flick managed to rake
in another Oscar for the vet-
eran actress, but that about
sums up the appeal. Those
unfamiliar with Thatcher's
bumpy political career won't
get much enlighUnent from
the muddled narrative. If the
Academy Award brought this
film to your attention, then you
pretty much know everything
about it you need to know:
Streep is a good aow, ss, even
when she's in a boring and
Meryl Streep in
obscure movie.
"Miss Representation"--
Teenagers spend an incredible
amount of time in front of the
television or computer screen,
in addition to being bombarded
with advertising over every
inch of the real world. This
documentary explores how
women are portrayed through
the media, and how that affects
the development of young
people. It's not a singular
study, but a general look at the
role of women in the media,
all punctuated with statistics.
'q-he Iron Lady"
The film could he seen as an
introduction into a broad and
relevant discussion.

'All My Sons' to open April 12
Stillwater's Town and
Gown Theatre is set to
open the fourth produc-
tion of its 61 st Season next
week with Arthur Miller' s
critically-acclaimed
drama, "All My Sons."
"All My Sons" is set
following World War II.
During the war, Joe Keller
and Herbert Deever ran a
machine shop, which
made airplane parts.
Deever was sent to prison
because the firm turned
out defective parts, caus-
ing the deaths of many
men. Keller went free and
made a lot of money.
The twin shadows of
this catastrophe and the
fact that the young Keller
son was reported missing
during the war dominate
the action. The love affair
of Chris Keller and Ann
Deever, the bitterness of
George Deever, returned
from the war to find his
father in prison and his
father's partner free, are
John Thomas, Eric Reitan, and Chad Neilsen (I to r) in the
opening scene of Town and Gown Theatre's production of
"All My Sons." The show opens April 12 and runs for eight
performances. Photo provided
all set in a structure of
almost unbearable power.
The climax showing the
reaction of a son to his
guilty father is fitting
conclusion to a play elec-
trifying in its intensity.
Show dates are April
12-15 and April 19-22.
Town and Gown
patrons will recognize
many familiar faces
among the "All My Sons"
and Micki White as stage
manager. Susan Weber is
handling costumes for the
production.

Sons" go on sale Monday,
April 9. To purchase a
ticket, call the box office
at (405) 372-9122. Please

is available to answer your

Jonas, voted off the Island? Really? Well, at least we
got to see the really, really nice Jonas who once declared,
'Tll be Colton's bitch if it'll keep me in the game", come
completely unglued with totally tetched Tarzan. He even
threw the "F" bomb around a few times. Jonas's demise
didn't seem fair, but then "fair" is a place to ride on
rides, eat cotton candy and step in monkey poop! There
really doesn't seem to be much that is "fair" in Survivor,
except perhaps the fact that Christina has a brief stay of
execution.
Jonas almost always plays the card of being helpful
and nice. so it was refreshing to hear him tell Crazy ale'
Tarzan to shut up and listen. Of course, as predictable as
the cows coming home, he apologized! Jonas's apology
moved Tarzan to mild tears as he pledged his allegiance.
NOT! Tarzan decided "to take his balls and go home!"
"I don't like him anymore, so I'm gonna' remove my
allegiance". PLEEAASSE! Waa-Waa-Waa. said the little
piggy, all the way home! It really does seem like Tarzan's
chromosomes slipped and fell on their butt somewhere
along the beach
Speaking of butts, did we really need to watch Tarzan
try to convince Chelsea that the skid marks in his skivvies
was chocolate? Does anyone believe that they boiled food
in that pot after cooking doo doo outta' Tarzan's undies?
I just don't know if the ale' boy is going to be able to join
us back on Earth before the end of the show. If his Mama
is still alive, someone should let her know that her son is
depriving some poor village of their idiot !
Enter, stage left .... Jay! Alas, the country boy made a
brilliant statement. STICK WITH THE PLAN! "When
you set a plan in place and it gets broken, all hell can break
loose and come back to bite you in the butt"! Obviously
the plan to maintain the Salani alliance and take out the old
Manono worked. It also worked to take out the strongest.
player in the old Manono, even if he was the chief cook
and bottle washer!
Perhaps everyone will begin to get the drift regarding
"alliances".
Once formed, they are hard to break. The really good news
for Jonas is that Colton won't be back at the Loser' s Camp
to annoy the crap outta' him. Since Colton didn't make
it to the Jury, he'll be shipped to some obscure place to
wait out the plane ride back to Alabama where his Mama
can lick his little wounds!
Troyzan is getting a run of great luck. "The early bird
gets the idol!"
He's pretty much guaranteed a spot in the final four now.
However. with six women and only five men. the women
could so easily ban together to knock off the men. How-
ever, let it be known that a "Women' s Allliance" has never
taken hold in Survivor. Go figure!
Alicia is behaving herself for the moment. However,
demons don't go away. They just lie low for awhile. It
