Released in 1990, The Immaculate Collection is a celebration of the first decade in
Madonna’s now legendary career. The pop diva was celebrated here in grand style.
Showcasing her biggest hits from the eighties, beginning with Holiday and Lucky
Star, this anthology traces her earliest hits right through to her breakout smashes
Like A Virgin, Open Your Heart, Get Into The Groove, Papa Don’t Preach, Live
To Tell, and Like A Prayer. Her delectable sensation Vogue is perhaps the piece de
resistance of the whole CD and further hits like Express Yourself and Justify My
Love round out what is without question one of the most exciting and enjoyable
greatest hits sets of all time. With Madonna now creating hits all over again, and
firmly ensconced as an icon of her time, The Immaculate Collection is a fun way
to relive perhaps the most exciting chapter of her career. If nothing else, it shows
just what made her so unique and why she endures to this day.

Danielle Steel reinvents a familiar formula but comes up with fresh results in Rogue,
her latest bestseller in the romance diva's library of classics. Having had just about
enough of the gadabout ways of dot com millionaire Blake Williams, Maxine
divorced him five years ago and is raising their three children while running a
thriving psychiatric practice specializing in childhood trauma and adolescent suicide.
Blake, meanwhile, is continent-hopping among houses in London, Morocco and New
York, finding his kicks wherever he can. The two have remained friends, but when a
horrific teen suicide leads Maxine to meet doctor and divorcé Charles West, she
finally falls for the type of man she thinks she's always wanted: serious, responsible
and a bit stuffy. A separate disaster makes Blake rethink his lifestyle and Maxine
suddenly has a choice to make. Even after all these years, Danielle Steel keeps the
pages turning and offers a satisfying twist at the story’s end.

The third film in the Jurassic Park series proved to be one of its best. Sam Neil and
Laura Dern returned to the roles they played in the original classic and the results were
phenomenal. With William H. Macy and Tea Leone portraying a divorced couple from
Oklahoma, searching for their son who’s gone missing on Isla Sorna (Site B in EnGen’s
now defunct dino theme park plan,) Neil and his young protégé Billy are duped into
taking the couple to the island where they find themselves stranded by a plane crash and
fending off one hair raising reptile attack after another. New creatures were brought to
life for this offering and one more terrifying than T-Rex emerges as well. When Billy
steals two velociraptor eggs to sell on the black market, the group finds itself pursued
by a pack of these carnivores as well as the dreaded Spinosarous Egypticus, which
makes T-Rex seem like a sweetheart. Dern shows up at the beginning and then again at
the end to send help to rescue the search party. Jurassic Park 3 is a fine film with a
new formula for making the dinosaurs of Steven Spielberg’s billion dollar franchise even
more exciting than ever. This one isn’t like most sequels. It breathed new life into the
whole shebang.
