Movie: Late Marriage
Our Rating: 4.00 Like Mira Nair’s recent “Monsoon Wedding,” “Late Marriage” intelligently (but less optimistically) investigates the pitfalls of arranged marriages among increasingly modernized traditionalist cultures. Zaza (Lior Ashkenazi), a 31-year-old graduate student at Tel Aviv University, has acquiesced to his Georgian parents’ wishes that they help find him a wife. During a meeting with…

Catch and release
Serial killer Coral Eugene Watts, 52, thought to have been put away for life by a Houston judge in 1982, is now to be released in 2006 because of a drafting error in his plea bargain. Because of a paucity of evidence about the 13 murders to which Watts confessed, he was allowed to plead…
Out of gas?
Whoopie Cushions are funny. One quick gag of inspired placement beneath somebody and you’ve got a good two minutes of Bart Simpson belly laughs to roll around in. But 20 years? Perhaps this is why Michael Winslow isn’t really funny. The self-proclaimed “Man of 10,000 voices,” who was sandwiched for years somewhere in between Bob…
Global grudge match
Question: Why did Disney seemingly go out of its way last month to upset Hong Kong government officials — who are, after all, the Mouse’s financial partners in the Hong Kong Disneyland project — by announcing plans to build a second theme park in mainland China? Answer: Because once again the Mouse is playing catch-up…
Homeless clinic finds a home
A year ago, administrators of the Health Care Center for the Homeless were planning to build a brand-new, two-story clinic in Parramore, where they’d spent $285,000 for a vacant lot at Westmoreland Drive and Church Street. (A Precarious Prescription, Sept. 6, 2001). Apparently they were under the impression that Orlando wouldn’t enforce a 1999 rule…
Anarchists, activists don’t mix
On July 31, the Stone Soup Collective closed its doors. Hammered in June by Orlando’s code enforcers, the collective was no longer allowed to host the music shows that paid its bills. Quickly, members came by to collect the 2,000 books in the collective’s leftist library. Just after Sept. 11, the gathering place seemed destined…
When librarians get mad
On Aug. 8, in a third-floor meeting room of the downtown Orlando library, a throng of librarians and librarian supporters staged a protest. It was a quiet protest, of course, but the message was clear: Orange County is cheating library patrons by hiring clerks to do a professional’s job. The librarians appeared at the regular…
Without a snout
Truthfully, I don’t understand the intricacies of the financial scandals that have been as reliably a part of the news lately as weather reports. I’ve said it before: When it comes to finance matters, I’m the dog in the “Far Side” cartoon whose owner is trying to talk to her, and all she hears is…
Legal haze
On July 19, shortly after noon, a U-Haul truck pulled into a quiet, run-down Altamonte Springs strip mall on State Road 436. Ten armed police officers jumped out of the back of the truck and stormed into Amsterdam Dreams, the mall’s middle store. Five of the police wore ski masks to protect their identity. All…
