Mike Nichols defied all odds by presenting two of the most unlikable lead characters (insecure whiner and philandering cad)in movie history and yet still created a wonderfully sharp and sad look at a doomed relationship. This is great stuff with strong turns by Streep and Nicholson and a screamingly funny Catherine O'Hara in a small role. Those early negative reviewers completely missed the point of this one. Alas, Ephron's biting touches here softened considerably with each of her successive films.

In what can only be termed a sci-fi fan-boy tragedy, Natalie Portman's never seen nude scenes as a stripper in the Mike Nichols' clunker Closer appear to have been lost for good.

Using a variety of sound clips from classic TV and films, Mike will explore some of the popular conceptions (and misconceptions) about Witchcraft that were current during that groovy decade of the 1960s. Mike argues that these halcyon days just happened to coincide with the "imaginative childhood" of the modern Neo-Pagan movement, and probably influenced it in ways far more profound than is commonly realized.

In a later match, Mike Swick was quickly tossed to the mat by opponent Steve Vigneault. But Mr. Swick instantly turned the tables with a move called "The Guillotine Choke." Cradling his opponent's head in his elbow, between bulging biceps and his forearm, Mr. Swick squeezed hard and temporarily cut off Mr. Vigneault's ability to breathe.
