Review: Streep saves ‘Mamma Mia!’
In the dippy warp of anti-renaissance that was the 1970s, ABBA thrived, and, via fare such as “Mamma Mia!” — a new movie based on the play — the defunct pop supergroup continues to unleash its too-catchy songs on the world. Shift your mind-set into fluff mode, and this film should mildly satisfy. But an unoriginal, uneven presentation of the songbook and the sunshine hampers things considerably. Teens and 20-somethings may be the target demographic for many TV shows, but when it comes to top actresses, over 40 is where it's at.
You say tomato, I say peppers?
The Food and Drug Administration says the salmonella outbreak is not caused by tomatoes. They think it may be from jalapeño peppers. They aren’t sure about that either. Meanwhile, tomato farmers have lost hundreds of millions of dollars. There probably not as many jalapeño pepper farmers as tomato farmers. What if it turns out to be onions, or a host of other sources? Bureaucrats at the FDA can put tomato farmers, pepper farmers and onion farmers out of business and still be wrong. Meanwhile, the cause of the salmonella outbreak remains a mystery. |
