The Naked and the Dead - Interesting, but the war story seems like the type of thing that would get old quick. Mixed the typical war story w/ a more depressingly human group of characters. Also, tells of the soldiers' private lives.
Use of casual sex as typical for American authors of the time; I'm sure it offended all sensibilities. But what do we have now? Pretty much the same thing, written with much less talent.

The Importance of Being Earnest - Silly little play in the vein of Jane Austen, but without the repetetive crap. Witty, but trivial. Like the guy wrote it to make a few dollars... or maybe he was a high-society homosexual.

The Petty Demon - The paranoia is hilarious. Setting, inept characters (visits & gov't esp) and main character seem reminiscent of Dead Souls. I prefer this one to Dead Souls as it is a lighter read. The ending is a bit Pushkinesque.

Double Trouble - Paul Brothers make another attempt at acting; David Paul really tries hard... but they fail miserably. However, if you go in expecting a goofy pair of meatheads hamming it up, you won't be disappointed. The plot is 1980s, the special effects are 1920s, the acting is 100,000 B.C. The villian is pretty good, and Whitney and the impeccable sense of fashion possessed by the Paul brothers are hilarious. The best part is that you can watch it once a month and never really remember what is going to happen.
