“The Darwin Awards”
Loosely based on the book series of the same name, The Darwin Awards is a wry indie film that deals with the premise that some people will live long and prosperous lives, while the weaker will weed themselves out by committing unbelievably stupid acts (such as smashing into a high-rise window to prove it’s shatterproof, or using dynamite as a means to make a small hole for ice fishing).
“Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael”
Blondie’s Deborah Harry has said that as a little girl, she had hoped Marilyn Monroe was her mother. The fantasy of having a celebrity parent is not lost on 15-year-old Dinky Bossetti (Winona Ryder), who is positive that the glamorous Roxy Carmichael is indeed her birth mother.

“Free Winona”? That was so 2002. This spring’s must-have shirt is the plain and kinda ugly T-shirt touting “Jesus is My Homeboy.” Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Ashton Kutcher and Pamela Anderson have all been seen wearing the shirt. Even barely-there Lara Flynn Boyle (above) found a size small enough to fit her. Urban Outfitters reports brisk sales of the shirt, which is priced at $28.

“Autumn in New York”
“Autumn in New York” is a movie built to tug at our heartstrings. But with its rote story line, the film proves to be little more than pretty eye candy in the form of stars Richard Gere and Winona Ryder. Will Keane (Gere) is a 48-year-old womanizer who owns a hip New York restaurant. Celebrating her 22nd birthday at his restaurant, Charlotte Fielding (Ryder) catches his wandering eye.
