...that was unfair. Gore shares a last name with Martin Gore, the main songwriter in Depeche Mode, who was responsible for "Blasphemous Rumours" and "Personal Jesus." Whatever would Tipper think? (Hmm. WWTT. That's a good one.) More ominously, though, he shares it with Lesley Gore (see picture below), singer of "It's My Party." And we all know the refrain don't we? "You would cry too if it happened...
...movies of the last decade. 2) I find that Sandler is least funny when he's doing one of his "voices" (think The Excited Southerner on his lackluster comedy album, What the Hell Happened to Me?) 3) I think that the actor-comedian's last three movies The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, and Big Daddy sucked. With that in mind, one would probably conjecture that I wouldn't like Little Nicky, Sandler's latest sure-fire box office behemoth. The SNL alum indeed performs the 83-minute-long film with an annoying, muffled speech impediment. And yes, recently Sandler...
...come on, who plunks down eight bucks to see an Adam Sandler movie with a good plot? The movie is funny, and in this case, that's all that matters. Actually, perhaps I should specify.

Read this book not for its epic retelling of his long descent into dementia or its ax-grinding with the singer's fourth wife, Barbara Marx, but for its thoughtful, sometimes moving recollections of growing up as Beverly Hills-Palm Springs royalty with an intermittently available father whose flaws cast very long shadows. Though there's little about music here, another of Ms. Sinatra's observations puts Frank's shortcomings into proper perspective: "Had he been a healthier, less tortured man, he might have been Perry Como." Of course you can't balance a childhood against...
