Rated PG, directed by Rob Pritts, with Chris Kattan (Corky Romano), Vinessa Shaw (Agent Kate Russo), Peter Falk (Pops Romano), Peter Berg (Paulie Romano), Chris Penn (Peter Romano), Fred Ward (Leo Corrigan) and Richard Roundtree (Howard Shuster), running time: 85 minutes
Saturday Night Live stooge Chris Kattan is Corky Romano, the dandy son of a Mafia boss who, at his family's behest, goes undercover as an FBI agent in order to snatch information that incriminates his recently indicted father in a life crime. Once inside, Corky falls for a beautiful, no-nonsense agent played by Vinessa Shaw, while he scrambles to steal the evidence the FBI has on his dad. Kattan's performance recalls the zaniness of a Jerry Lewis comedy or the pratfall humor of a Rowan Atkinson movie. Peter Falk, Peter Berg and Chris Penn as Corky's Mafia family help make the movie worth watching.

A few weeks ago I found myself at a Family Mart talking with the morning shift worker there, who has become my coffee guy. Both of us were in a funk over the “unseasonable” warm weather, a state of mind known as “solastalgia” — distress produced by environmental change. In fact, the weather was not that out of the ordinary in boiling Central Taiwan, and likely cooler than the temperatures we will experience in the near-future. According to the Taiwan Adaptation Platform, between 1957 and 2006, summer lengthened by 27.8 days, while winter shrunk by 29.7 days. Winter is not
Taiwan’s post-World War II architecture, “practical, cheap and temporary,” not to mention “rather forgettable.” This was a characterization recently given by Taiwan-based historian John Ross on his Formosa Files podcast. Yet the 1960s and 1970s were, in fact, the period of Taiwan’s foundational building boom, which, to a great extent, defined the look of Taiwan’s cities, determining the way denizens live today. During this period, functionalist concrete blocks and Chinese nostalgia gave way to new interpretations of modernism, large planned communities and high-rise skyscrapers. It is currently the subject of a new exhibition at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Modern
March 25 to March 31 A 56-year-old Wu Li Yu-ke (吳李玉哥) was straightening out her artist son’s piles of drawings when she inadvertently flipped one over, revealing the blank backside of the paper. Absent-mindedly, she picked up a pencil and recalled how she used to sketch embroidery designs for her clothing business. Without clients and budget or labor constraints to worry about, Wu Li drew freely whatever image came to her mind. With much more free time now that her son had found a job, she found herself missing her home village in China, where she
In recent years, Slovakia has been seen as a highly democratic and Western-oriented Central European country. This image was reinforced by the election of the country’s first female president in 2019, efforts to provide extensive assistance to Ukraine and the strengthening of relations with Taiwan, all of which strengthened Slovakia’s position within the European Union. However, the latest developments in the country suggest that the situation is changing rapidly. As such, the presidential elections to be held on March 23 will be an indicator of whether Slovakia remains in the Western sphere of influence or moves eastward, notably towards Russia and
