  1. Snow White and the Huntsman movie reviews

    Reviews for "Snow White and the Huntsman," a dark and violent retelling of the fairy tale, are all over the map. This movie follows the recent release of a comic adaptation -- "Mirror, Mirror" with Julia Roberts and Nathan Lane -- and they couldn't be more different. "Snow White and the Huntsman" is driven by special effects, and a vicious queen, played by Charlize Theron. Snow White (Kristen Stewart) is much more feisty too -- far, far from a naive fairy tale character. Sounds like a movie you will love or hate. Here are excerpts from reviews:

  3. Generational nonsense at commencement time

    This is the season of generational twaddle. At graduation ceremonies across the country, politicians, authors, actors and businessmen take to the stage to tell young people they are fantastic simply because they are young. This year, the ritual is more pathetic than usual because there's a presidential election in the offing. And because the current occupant of the White House won in 2008 in no small part due to his success with the "youth vote," he is desperate for them to repeat their blunder.

  5. Gay marriage and political expedience

    Former NPR and current Fox News political analyst Juan Williamsmade an excellent point  recently on "The O'Reilly Factor."

  6. Maurice Sendak lit up dark corners of childhood

    Not everything in childhood is bowls of mush and little old ladies whispering "Hush," and Maurice Sendak understood that.

  8. Maurice Sendak dead at 83

    <a href=&quot;http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/12708/Maurice_Sendak/index.aspx" target="_blank">The death of Maurice Sendak</a>, author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Where-Wild-Things-Maurice-Sendak/dp/0060254920" target="_blank">"Where the Wild Things Are"</a> and other wonderful children's books, is a great loss for children's literature. His books, which included "In the Night Kitchen," "Alligators All Around," and the Little Bear books, were favorite reads for my children. Each one carried just the right tone of whimsy, and the illustrations had a classic beauty.
