The Lawnmower Man takes what could have been an interesting premise about virtual reality and turns it into a hulking, clunking movie better suited for the Syfy channel than for cinemas.

If it were made today, I have little doubt that it would have been a Syfy channel original movie starring Bruce Campbell. Instead, we get a movie with Pierce Brosnan. At least Bruce Campbell would have been funnier.

As I steal furtive glances across the aisle, watching them fondle, caress, cuddle each other, he is kissing her hand, her cheek, her neck, her lips, she is receiving but not as effusive, I can't help but wonder what their story is.

Because there is obviously a story.

He is older. She is much younger. His hair is straight. Hers is in braids. His hair is grey. Hers is black.

He is white. She is black. He looks Jewish. She looks African but sounds African-American.

And I learn more from their accoutrements …

I love this song. It has that real blues feel and sound to it. It's romantic; a man can serenade his woman to this as I imagine being serenaded as I listen to it.

The lyrics are clear - lets focus on us, here and now - ' ... slow down for a minute now baby ... turn that TV off for a minute ... we can talk until we crazy ... we can argue and fuss all night ... ... forget about the world ... let's not talk about the war ... don't know what their fighting for ... ... but I propose ... that we go ... to the floor ... and we slow dance.'

I like this song. Buttercup is by the South African group, Freshlyground.

It opens up with the guitar introducing the rhythm, and the piano and the violin provide the right notes in just the right parts. Lead singer, Zolani Mahola, kicks off the first verse and it goes something like, “... I found a little pretty buttercup … I’d like to take you away ... I don’t believe that you would stay ... No way.
