PICKS OF THE WEEK
"Joyful Noise" (PG-13)
-- Dolly Parton and Queen
Latifah go head to head
in this high-volume ship-
ment of cheese and song.
Vi !(Latifah) is the direc-
tor of a small-town church
choir with dreams of win-
ning the National Joyful
Noige Competition. Choir
vetan G.G. (Parton)
thinks it's time the whole
chgir thing should go
"SiSter Act 2" and get a
ne style. Soon, G.G.'s
talented bad-boy grand-
sod. (Jeremy Jordan) and
V i '.s talented-choirgirl
datighter (Keke Palmer)
start getting too close.
[ear those who cannot
digest TV's "Glee," steer
wile and clear of this one.
The songs can be catchy
and impressive and even
a little uplifting. It's the
script and the vacant
humor that knock this
one off key.
"Haywire" (R) -- Some-
body at the big, morally
ambiguous spy office sure
goofed again, because
another trained killer
has "gone rogue" after a
failed backstabbing. This
time it's Gina Carano, a
mixed-martial arts fighter
trying on her first movie
role as Mallory Kane, an
assassin bent on getting
revenge on those who
betrayed her. The story
is familiar, but well-
executed
Keke Palmer, Dolly Parton in =Joyful Noise"
Director Steven
Soderbergh utilizes his
female lead well. You
can tell it's her in the
action sequences, and
when she's not fight-
ing, she's surrounded by
more experienced actors.
Carano makes a great
action hero because you
believe she really could
do that move where she
strangles a hitman with
her legs while twisting
his arm.
"Kinyarwanda" -- In
this drama, different sto-
ries are woven together
to give a multidimen-
sional perspective on
the massacre in Rwanda
in 1994. The characters
include a young couple
and their son -- all three
are in danger because the
parents are from different
ethnic groups. This, how-

ever, isn't a story about
survival, but of the issues
involved before, during
and after the genocide.
DOG OF THE WEEK
"New Year's Eve" (PG-
13) -- What happens when
you pack as many stars as
you can fit into a roman-
tic comedy set around one
day? An unlovable lump
of cameos and an annoy-
ing ad campaign where
it's obvious that many
of the stars couldn't be
paid to do a promo
shot. This movie is the
toxic runoff created by
overpressured medioc-
rity. It's the fruitcake of
film; a dense, unwanted
amalgamation of unused
tidbits that forces its way
into our lives around the
holidays.
It stars Hilary Swank,
Robert De Niro and a
ton of other people who
don't mind being left Off
the list. Each cluster of
stars forms its own little
love story that is some-
how vaguely connected
to the other vignettes.
In the end, all the half-
baked stories come to a
big undeserved climax
that unconvincingly
demands that you experi-
ence tender emotions.

It was Lief's last supper
Our sweet, lit' man
chewed down on a pro-
tein shake and bananas
just prior t.o getting kicked
off the island. In his own
The women' s alliance held
solid. I'm lovin' it! Adffi-
tonally Troyzan dug him-
self a huge hole, jumped it
in, and then ranted enough

words, "I essentially
gave it my all. I have no
regrets". Leif will be
remembered for his height
and his "givin' it all, every
day in every way". He can
take pride in knowing that
he was deemed more of
a physical threat than
Tarzan, who, if anyone
noticed, "Voted with the
women!"
At long last Tarzan said
something intelligent! To
Troyzan after his immu-
nity win, he said, "Be
noble in your win." Tarzan
actually boded very well in
the immunity challenge,
coming very close to shut-
ting out Troyzan.
We're down to six
woman against two men.
Troyzan made a logical
argument with members of
the old Manana Tribe. He
vowed to vote with them if
they would take out Kim.
Unless hell freezes over
before next week, Troyzan
lost his last chance to turn
the game upside down.
to build gigantic stone
walls that put him on one
side and everyone else on
the other.
Humility usually bodes
well in this game. How-
ever, Troyzan has worked
himself into a sweaty lather
proclaiming "the island to
be his!" His lethal tongue
just might motivate him
to win every challenge,
which is exactly what he
now must do! "This is my
island! You don't beat me !"
His first loss is his ticket to
loserville! Thumbs under
his arm, cocky, bobbing
his head, cluckling, preen-
ing, and espousing his mag-
nificence is gonna' seem
really silly when he loses
the next challenge. He'll
be a "fuggedaboud'im"
kinda' guy perched on the
Jury bench. Remember
Tom the fireman? He also
had to win every challenge
to make it to the end, and
he did it with humility and
kindness.
As for Chelsea, Kim,
and Sabrina, go ahead and
beam, gush, and preen.
These three women are 'da
bomb' in every way! Any
of the three deserve to win
it. At this point, it best to
pick a path with a solid
women's alliance, and
stick to the plan. One of
those women need to find
that immunity idol asap!
However, no matter how
much planning the women
do, one tiny miscalculation,
one moment of distraction,
can end it all in an instant.
This game can go south in
a heart beat.
I'm lovin' Sabrina and
her wisdom. At tribal she
reminds Troyzan that he
needs "to be somewhat
likeable"! Ain't that the
truth. Let Troyzan rant
and rail and leave the
ladies slack jawed. As we
say in Oklahoma, "us girls
just don't cotton to puffed
up, humorless, arrogant
idiots who's scowl of dis-
dain could peel paint off a
barn !"
Back to Tarzan. The 01d
boy spent all his money for
a letter from home. He won
my heart in that one act.
This time of the game is
the most vulnerable. Tears
come easy when we've
been separated from those
we love. The game is still
afoot and either Tarzan or
Troyzan is next to go. Stay
tuned!

When you take a pain pill
at night to sleep, you get
a little nauseous. When
you get a little nauseous
you swallow some pepto.
When you swallow some
pepto you want to brush
your teeth. When you
brush your teeth you
remember you should
have cleaned the tub last
night. When you clean
the tub, you want to take
another bath. When you
take another bath you fall
asleep in the tub. When
you fall asleep for a
while, you wake up a bit
rested. When you feel
a little rested you check
the email before you go
to bed. When you check
Charlavan
the email, you should
return a couple . When
you return a couple of
emails, you go ahead and
research something on
the internet while you are
there. When you research
something on the net,
you are led to three more
things to research. When
you read a bit about things
you didn't know you even
cared about, you start to
feel sleepy. When you
feel sleepy you head to
bed, where your back
hurts. When your back
hurts you take an aspirin
and while that is trying
to work, you turn on the
television. When you turn
on the television at night,
you get involved in an
old movie. When you get
involved in an old movie
time gets away. When
time gets away you need to
get some rest but can't go
to sleep because your back
hurts so you take another
bath to stop the pain and
you fall asleep. When you
fall asleep again in the tub,
you could drown. Do you
really want to risk .drown-
ing in the tub? Get outand
have a glass of milk. If you
are having milk you might
as well have cookies with
it. When you have milk
and cookies in the middle of
the night you should brush
your teeth again. When
you have to brush your
teeth again, you end up in
the bathroom where there
are lots of things to do.
Don't take a pain pill at
night.
Nights are exhausting
and you look wrinkled.
