Tootsie Tootsie is about a man who's always taking a shower and always getting soap in his eyes; who only sleeps with his girlfriend because he doesn't want to be caught trying on her dress; who wants to speak his desires honestly and when he does, gets wine in his face; who won't loan his best dress to the woman he loves; who makes no promises to women; who "was a better man when he was a woman than when he is a man." If you liked Nine to Five, you'll like this. If you thought Nine to Five was silly, you'll still like this. Dustin Hoffman stars as Dorothy Michaels and Michael Dorsey; Dabney Coleman is still the big bad boss, this time in the world of daytime soap opera; Jessica Lange as "Nurse Slut" and Teri Garr as Michaels' girlfriend give good performances, and Bill Murray is great as the roommate. Why is sexism so funny when seen through the eyes of a man? Dustin Hoffman is the coolest as Dorothy. Go see it. You'll love him.

Paul Newman is excellent as a lawyer who puts his principles on the line for the first time. Dark Crystal Incredible creatures, special effects (not of the Star Wars type) and an ex cellent myth-like story make this an exciting film adventure. The horrible, even repulsive, Skeksis with their beetle-like soldiers hold the dark crystal which is the key to change in the land. Before the “conjunction of the 3 suns," the prediction says, the crystal shard must be joined with the dark crystal, and that which was "torn asunder" will join together and good will prevail. Good vs. Evil, a boy on a quest (helped by the feminine), a wonderful witch (with a removeable eye-ball), and some very scary monsters in an amazing world entirely created by Jim Henson (of Muppet fame) make this a wonderful afternoon's entertainment.
