Ordinary Least Square: Gestation Period - Six Months of Movie Reviews Nia Vardalos came out of nowhere as the writer and star of one of the greatest dark horse success stories of American cinema, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, a semi-autobiographical tale of a Greek-American woman trying to reconcile love with her large, volatile, and very funny family. As a die-hard hockey fan, Brooks was no mystery to me, but everyone else was probably expecting the uplifting story of the players and the nation that rallied around them at a time of political upheaval (hostages in Iran and Soviets invading Afghanistan). Her second effort as writer-star borrows heavily from the genre of transvestite comedies, mainly Victor-Victoria, also a movie about a woman masquerading as a man cross-dressing as a woman, and Yentl, among others. ordinaryleastsquare.typepad.com /dubi/2004/07/gestation_perio.html   (3932 words)

Welcome to the Birmingham Post-Herald: Viewpoints Admiral Stockdale devoted his retirement years, apart from his brief political career, to writing on martial and philosophical subjects, including Epictetus, the Greek Stoic who wrote: "Content yourself with being a lover of wisdom, a seeker of the truth. At one point, according to his Congressional Medal of Honor citation, he "deliberately inflicted a near mortal wound to his person in order to convince his captors of his willingness to give up his life rather than capitulate." After that, the North Vietnamese let up on the torture of all their POW captives. That was the measure of an American patriot, who is also remembered for his distinguished service as president of the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, R.I., where he introduced a curriculum in ethics and, until his retirement from the Navy in 1979, as one of the most highly decorated officers in history. www.postherald.com /co071905.shtml   (1212 words)
