SALINGER – The Review
Review by Michael Haffner
There are some who will argue that pulling back the curtain takes away from the mystique that surrounded the author over the years. However, J.D. Salinger is more than just a writer who lets his work do all his speaking. Salinger is a mystery wrapped in an enigma that’s shrouded in secrecy. Nothing proves this fact more than the documentary itself. Composed of a variety of talking heads, academic figures, and some random celebrities – these Hollywood stars are given as much on screen time as shown in the trailer – SALINGER is a documentary that attempts to tap into what made the mysterious writer tick.

Only Weaver's commanding turn as the brusque-yet-caring agent with her own secrets to hide really comes alive. Disappointing fare indeed.

I’ll never forget the first time I came across “Party of Five,” Fox’s popular teen drama that celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. I had spent what amounted to the cost of designer jeans on the show’s individual DVD box sets, and they were a hallmark of my adolescence.
Growing up, TV dramas and daytime soap operas — “The Young and the Restless,” of course — were my only window to a world beyond my own. Like other young people, I struggled through my teenage years. Eighth grade is hard enough, and the homophobic insults didn’t make it any easier.
That summer wasn’t any better. I was too old to play outside and too young to drive or get a job. I didn’t have many friends that year. Usually, I would have had friends from school to call from my landline telephone to make plans during the summer, but that year, there were no numbers to call. My relatives started to notice — and the last thing I wanted was pity.
So I asked permission to use my mom’s credit card to order “Party of Five: The Complete First Season” from Amazon.
“Party of Five” centers on the Salinger f
