And the Moon a Crooked Grin

NEW FILMS THIS WEEK AT THE BALTIMORE REGAL:

'Elise and the Pirates'' – G'''  (Family, Anim.)

A delightful romp for the entire family. When the young Duchess Elise, daughter of the Governor of St Cruse, is kidnapped by a misfit band of pirates, everything goes hilariously wrong. Ultimately, the crew of the Scarlet Nightmare  must join forces with the resourceful Elise to prevent a band of seriously bad pirate choirboys from sacking the town. The  love interest, in Captain Dog Hatchet Jack, is lightweight but satisfying.

This film, a production of a brand new studio, reminds one of classic Disney, with a witty heart-warming story and toe-tapping tunes. Like Disney’s classic Robin Hood, Elise and the Pirates uses animals for the pirate characters, including some rather bizarre choices such as the worm pirate accountant and the possum first mate. However this all comes together in a thrilling finale – treachery, betrayal and courage aboard a burning galleon, at least equal to anything Uncle Walt has to serve up.. Highly recommended for the young and the young at heart. Starts Thursday. Libby Gulls

The Prelate of Baltimore closed a set of manicured talons around the page, crushing it slowly. This was more than a mere joke, this was a threat. There were details alluded to here, details that only someone who was there that night could have known. That means that one of the other survivors of that inferno was playing with more than just fire. A nervous, askance glance. The cellphone lay on the table, the Ollpheanna assassins were within arms reach – but who would be selected as their target?
