Madonna film not ‘Best’for viewer
NEXT BEST from page 9
ever been in a movie, eclipsing even
“Body of Evidence.”
It is chilling to think this woman
nearly scored an Academy Award
nomination a few years back -
absolutely chilling.
Her character’s behavior turns
chilling, too, after she meets Mr.
Right, (Julia Roberts’ beau Benjamin
Bratt) who is also Mr. Rich and
would like to take Abbie, his right
ness and his richness back to New
York with Sam in tow.
Rupert is not pleased; his trade
mark mumbling grows in actual talk
ing. Looks like we might have anoth

here. There’s a twist, a secret, a dou
ble-cross, a Pandora’s box and what
ever other scary analogy you want to
use in a movie about a child custody
Chef to teach at Joslyn’s
annual cooking school
The Joslyn Art Museum, 2200
Dodge St. in Omaha, has cooked up a
different attraction going on all day and
into tonight.
Joanne Weir, award-winning chef,
cookbook author, food writer and cook
ing teacher, will be featured at the
Joslyn’s annual cooking school.
Using her trademark “pure and sim
ple” techniques, she will be making an
array of Mediterranean-inspired dish
es.
Weir’s experience includes five
years of cooking at Chez Panisse in
Berkeley, Calif, and a year of full-time
apprenticeship with Madeleine
Kamman in New England and France.
Weir hosted the public television
series “Weir Cooking in the Wine
case.
Since there was only 45 minutes
of real movie here, the remaining
pieces are filled in by tired gay
cliches (one dies of AIDS, another
has it, all families disapprove), lin
gering shots of oil wells, palm trees,
etc. Schlesinger even has the gall to
stage a car wash kissing scene.
And that’s not as bad as the 20 or
so times you have to hear “American
Pie” sung in the film.
I think the old director had noth
ing more to work with. Only Rupert
reaches a level of competency here;
the script treats nearly everyone else
as scenery. The kid is annoying.
Madonna’s worse. The whole produc
tion should have been flushed down
the toilet.
Most frustrating is the alarming
turn the movie takes from light com
edy to gut-wrenching sadness. When
Country” and has written a book of the
same name.
Considered one of California’s pre
miere chefs, Weir was awarded the inau
gural Julia Child Cooking Teacher
Award of Excellence in 1996.
Weir tours and teaches in the United
States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Italy and France.
The cooking school will consist of
two sessions.
The morning program begins at 9
a.m., followed by the cooking school at
9:30 a.m. A buffet will be served at
11:30 a.m.
The evening session will include
cooking school at 7 p.m. and a book
signing and buffet dinner at 8 p.m.
Boccacio’s “Decameron”
inspiration for exhibit
Giovanni Boccaccio’s Medieval
story “Decameron” was criticized in the
13th century for its explicit sexual refer
ences and lack of moral values during a
time when writing was based on
Christian thought.
Madonna’s character does something
more or less unspeakable and unfor
givable, we’re not prepared for it.
Nor do we recognize the charac
ters arriving at a solution months
later that they had all along that could
have saved them all the pain and cash.
The movie needed either to own
up to its seriousness or abandon it.
Here is a movie about a child custody
battle. It must earn its ending - good
or bad. So when Madonna and
Rupert cavort for an hour, then sud
denly snarl at one another, it feels
about as real as those exterior shots of
Madonna doing yoga. They know, we
know, the director knows - all will be
well in the end.
“The Next Best Thing” is a seri
ous subject debased. If a Rupert and
Madonna friendship elicits this type
of effort again, they’ll have to part
ways.
Artist Nancy Palmeri has developed
a collection of prints that examines and
communicates the humor, culture and
sexuality contained in Boccaccio’s
story.
The prints are on display this month
at the Haydon Art Gallery.
In her artist statement, Palmeri, who
received her Master of Fine Arts degree
from UNL in-1993, said, “Boccaccio’s
stories allow me to begin to investigate
the implications and importance of a
contemporary artist creating images
that refer to a text that is over 500 years
old.”
Examples of her color woodcut cre
ations include a picture of a monk, who,
in order to avoid punishment for a sin he
committed, accuses his abbot of the
same sin.
The items on display in the Haydon
are just samples of Palmeri’s current
project, which will ultimately include a
folio of more than 100 color woodcut
prints inspired by the “Decameron.”
Two additional series of Palmeri’s
work will also be on display.
For her “Decameron” series,
Palmeri has been awarded a Bogliasco
Foundation Fellowship at Genova, Italy
and an Enhancement Grant from the
University of Texas at Arlington.
She is currently an Assistant
Professor of Art at the University of
Texas at Arlington.
A reception will take place for her
this Friday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the
Haydon Art Gallery, 335 N. 8th St
The exhibition will be on display
through March 25. Gallery hours are 10
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
