It is the story of four schoolboys, who come upon evidence of skullduggery and work together to stop a murder. The lads are a mischievous gang who are always cooking up some scheme. Dion Pride, yup, son of country music legend Charlie Pride, is Specks. Vincent Spano plays Foster. Diminutive Greg Hodges is Homer and Jeff Nicholson plays Billy Ray, always in cowboy hat.

The film is most instructive in a sociological sense. In that era, there were commercials with taglines such as Is it true blonds have more fun? and If I have one life, let me live it as a blond. Three Blondes in His Life certainly deconstructs that thesis. Being blond led only to problems.

Dahmer (2002) is, at first glance, a fairly run-of-the-mill bad guy biopic, tracing the exploits of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer from late teenagerhood to just before his arrest, for a smorgasbord of crimes, at age 31. Jumping back and forth between the past and the present, the film fills in Dahmer’s personal history through frequent flashbacks, and paints a picture of him that turns out to be surprisingly—almost uncomfortably—compassionate. However, the flashbacks give the film a disjointed quality that makes it less effective as a thriller (or a horror film) than many of the more infamous serial-killer epics, such as those comprising the Silence of the Lambs oeuvre.

Pepe Le Pew is the amorous deep voiced skunk who is based on Pepe Le Moko, played by Charles Boyer in Algiers. The dark, smoldering Gallic lover is certainly more suave than the skunk.

In “Brooklyn Rules,” Michael (Freddie Prinze Jr.) narrates the bildungsroman of three best friends as they grow up in the New York district during the late 1970’s and 1980’s and up through John Gotti’s mob war. Michael is a bit of a scam artist, while Bobby (Jerry Ferrara) is a cheapskate “idiot savant” whose savvy includes bartering for a better deal, and Carmine (Scott Caan) is the one whose idolatry is the local mob boss, Caesar (the underused Alec Baldwin).
