While pregnant with her second child, and simultaneously raising an 18-month-old, Doreen Cronin managed to find the perfect encapsulation of how she was feeling in an unorthodox place.
“I was just playing around on the computer and I came across the instructions on what to do if you run into a bear in the wild,” she tells People. “I read the instructions and I thought, ‘You know what? This is so similar to what anyone should not do with me right now.’”

The Messenger - DVD Review
Woody Harrelson is a human litmus test for what the ravages of war can do to an individual.
The Messenger is a movie that defies a conventional critique as the movie unspools in a manner that feels more real than it does made up, more visceral than it does imagined. While Kevin Bacon’s turn in Taking Chance was a heartfelt swan song to one human’s life who died for his country, The Messenger is grittier in its portrayal of a man tasked with delivering the news no family member wants to get about their fallen soldier.
It’s grittier and more immediate thanks to the liberating decisions made by first time director Oren Moverman. The...

A cute bit of fun for the kiddies, this collection of stories based on the work of Doreen Cronin is harmless entertainment for all ages. The DVD, part of the award-winning “Scholastic Storybook Treasures” series, consists of five stories by Cronin, three of which feature that mischievous feathered imp Duck.
Duck follows in the footsteps of other famous fowls like Donald and Daffy, using his cleverness to get his own way. In fact, Duck’s voice is so similar to Donald Duck’s, it’s a wonder Disney hasn’t complained. Duck’s perpetual opponent is the hard-working but easily outwitted Farmer Brown. Brown is to Duck what Ranger Smith is to Yogi Bear, or Officer Dibble is to Top Cat, or zookeeper Stanley Livingston is to Tennessee Tuxedo.
In the first story, “Giggle, Giggle, Quack”, Duck takes advantage when Farmer Brown goes on vacation, leaving his unsuspecting brother Bob in charge.

Precious: Based On The Novel “Push” By Sapphire (Lionsgate) In-your-face, but undeniably powerful film that follows the plight of an overweight inner-city teen (Gabourey Sidbe, a real find) who must deal with an abusive mother (Mo’Nique, in a career-making turn for which she won a most-deserved Best Supporting Actress Oscar), a baby born of her abusive, and absent, father, and trying to survive day-to-day with few people to offer her help, save for a sympathetic teacher (Paula Patton) in a special ed program. Director/producer Lee Daniels, a former personal manager/producer-turned-filmmaker, brings a kitchen sink authenticity to the proceedings, along with a cast of famous powerhouse performers, who manage to disappear into their roles. Tough stuff, but not to be missed. Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay (Geoffrey Fletcher). Bonuses: Commentary by Daniels; Featurettes; Interviews with Sapphire and Daniels; Deleted scene. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.
