Savage Steve Holland follows up his cult teen hit Better Off Dead with more madcap absurdity. Forget the plot, which takes frustrated cartoon prodigy John Cusack to Nantucket to woo aspiring singer-songwriter Demi Moore and take on the town's weasely real estate developer and his bullying son in a sailing regatta. For Savage Steve, the "revenge of the misfits" story is merely an excuse to unleash his arsenal of gags. Think of it as an Airplane for the teen set, punctuated by wacky twists (hyperactive...

Bulletin for the Center... - 02/01/2010 The titular summer is that of 1968, when Delphine and her little sisters, Vonetta and Fern, travel from Brooklyn, where they live with their father and grandmother, to Oakland, California, the home of their estranged mother.

Director of "Better Off Dead", Savage Steve Hollands, delivers a wonderfully cheesy 80s comedy starring Demi Moore, and John Cusack as an imaginitive young illustrator. Look for 80s legend Bobcat Goldwaithe in a Godzilla suit!

When the girls arrive in Oakland in the summer of 1968, Cecile wants nothing to do with them. She makes them eat Chinese takeout dinners, forbids them to enter her kitchen, and never explains the strange visitors with Afros and black berets who knock on her door. Rather than spend time with them, Cecile sends Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern to a summer camp sponsored by a revolutionary group, the Black Panthers, where the girls get a radical new education.

We don't want to jinx it, so we're just going to say: if ever a book deserved to win a gazillion shiny gold awards, it's this one. With exquisite writing, finely-developed characters, and splashes of humor throughout, Williams-Garcia makes a story involving the Black Panthers in 1968 Oakland perfectly accessible to kids. Eleven-year-old Delphine is smart, practical, and responsible. She has to be: she's frequently in charge of her two younger sisters, sassy Vonetta and younger-than-her-years Fern...

He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his untimely death; he is widely considered...
