Critics sort of slammed it, but I can’thelp loving the ego-fest that is “TheMirror Has Two Faces” (1996),director Barbra Streisand’s uninten-tionally hilarious love story about ahomely gal who gets a makeover andlands the man of her dreams.

Our story takes place in New York,where we meet Rose Morgan(Streisand, who also stars) a belovedEnglish literature professor at Colum-bia University. Although she dresses inbig ugly tents (what is up with thatsuspender dress?), never wears makeupand hides behind enormous glasses,Rose still radiates charm and enthusi-asm as a teacher. Students love herlectures (completely unrealistic) andflock to her classes.

The classroom is about the onlyplace Rose is confident, though. Shestill lives at home with her domineer-ing mother Hannah (Oscar-nominat-ed Lauren Bacall), a former beautyqueen and in the shadow of herstunning sister Claire (MimiRodgers). Now in her late 40s, Rosehas given up hope of ever finding theright guy, or any guy for that matter.She’s resigned to being a frump whobickers with her mother, wears hideoussweaters and stuffs her face withSnoBalls. No man will ever want her.

One does, though. Gregory Larkin

(Jeff Bridges, who reportedly did notget along with Streisand) teaches mathat Columbia and is looking for justsuch a gal. Sick of meaningless affairswith gorgeous models, the handsomeprofessor is seeking something deeperin a relationship. Sex only complicatesthings; a true friendship lasts farlonger. So Gregory decides to post anad in the personals searching for anintellectual who doesn’t want sex, withan emphasis that looks don’t matter.

Rose never reads the personals, butClaire does. When she sees Gregory’slisting, she sends in Rose’s picture,listing her own phone number as acontact. She’s thrilled when Gregorycalls to say he’s interested, quicklyexplaining her sister knows nothingabout this but that she’s sure Rosewould love to meet him.

After a visit to one of Rose’s classesto catch her in action, Gregory’s mindis made up. This is the one; she’sbrilliant, funny and kind — and he hasabsolutely no physical attraction to her.

Rose, however, is smitten. Gregoryis not only smart; he’s the best lookingman to ever be interested in her, even if

it is only for her mind. After severalmonths of dating without so much as akiss, Gregory asks her to marry him —with the firm understanding that it willbe a sex-free union.

Rose doesn’t hesitate to accept. Sheclaims she’s OK with twin beds and ahoneymoon that consists of watching“Lawrence of Arabia.” Underneath,however, Rose is starting to simmer. Toher surprise, Rose soon realizes shereally does want more than her man’smind. But will Gregory ever wantmore from her? Not until some self-discovery, a disastrous attempt atseduction and that makeover!

Although Babs (who was 54) doesindeed look amazing when she finallyreveals her new chic, svelte self, thetransformation is so startling, you can’thelp but laugh.

“The Mirror Has Two Faces” has anumber of genuine funny moments,too (like the first Rodgers-Bacallscene), but most of the time it’s justover-the-top fabulous, down to thecheesy street dance Streisand andBridges do over the closing credits(love it when she grabs that scarf andartfully arranges it before dashingdownstairs).

You can find “The Mirror Has TwoFaces” (PG-13) free online atHulu.com. Check it out!

• Off BoydJazz joinsNormansceneBy Aaron Wright Graypop editor

While most beginningbands are pleading for gigs,taking everything thatcomes their way, the sixmembers of Norman’snewest jazz group alreadymaintain a pleasantly fullschedule.

Off Boyd Jazz formedbetween six to eightmonths ago. The group iscomposed of college friendswho share a mutual love forjazz.

“We all like jazz, as wellas the other things we play,”said Kyle Reid, guitarist.

Laura Wiederhoeft, thelone female of the group,takes the spotlight in theshows, her sultry voiceproviding lyrics for theoutstanding performancesof the band members.

Trevor Galvin oftenperforms long solo stretcheson saxophone, as doesChris Schroeder ontrumpet. David Hickeyplays stand-up bass andTyler Metcalfe keeps thebeat on the drums.

The group focuses onjazz standards, songs bylegendary artists like FrankSinatra and Tony Bennett.

Almost since their firstgig, the group has main-tained a strong presence onthe Norman music scene,playing about two shows amonth.

Their sounds have beenheard at The Brewhouse,Second Wind Coffeehouse,Sonder Music, Dance and

Art and University ofOklahomavenues.They werealso a partof theNormanMusicFestivalthis year.

Thegroup isplayingSaturdayat Dream-er Con-ceptsStudio andFounda-tion forthe organization’s fundrais-er.

Primarily, the band hasstayed in the Norman area,which works out great forthe members, most ofwhich are OU students,

althoughnone aremusicmajors.

The gigsare a labor oflove.

“We don’treally thinkof it aswork,”Hickey said.

Galvinsaid the paygoes to coverthings likebeer money,with none ofthem really

relying on the gigs forincome.

So far, the only recordingthe group has done is ashort demo recorded atReid’s house, to be usedprimarily for promotionalpurposes.

They have looked atrecording in the future, butit doesn’t seem to be apriority for the bandmembers.

Right now, they’reenjoying the opportunitiesto play lots of shows infront of well-receivingaudiences.

Lyric concludes itssummer season with theretrospective musical“Buddy:The Buddy HollyStory.”

Ben Hope plays theyoung, headstrong guitaristfrom Lubbock,Texas.Hope’s detailedstudy of Buddycomes through inhis forwardleaning,striding walkand perform-ancemannerisms.

Plantedbehind themicrophonewith his guitar, Hopeaccentuates each song with aswaying head that nudgesforward with each empha-sized word and stationary,jittery legs.

“Buddy” tells the story ofTexan Charles HardinHolley’s move from KDAV’sweekly Sunday country radioin Lubbock to rock-’n-rollstardom.

Nicknamed Buddy by hismother, his rise to interna-tional fame was quick andlasted only 19-months whenhe died in a plane crashalong with The Big Bopperand Richie Valens while on athree-week tour with GAC’sWinter Dance Party. Holly’soutput during this time was

massive. “Buddy” featuresmore than 20 of his greatestsongs, including “PeggySue,”“That’ll Be The Day,”“Oh Boy” and “Everyday.”

DJ Salsbury returns toLyric this summer to directHope and a cast of talentedactor/musicians. Recreatingthe true essence of musicalcreation and performance; allplay a variety of instruments,sing and act. Act one

Day: Celebrating Buddy Holly

“The Ghost Writer” is a political thrillerdirected and co-written by the criticallyacclaimed Roman Polanski.The storyfollows a ghost writer as he is hired at thelast minute to complete the memoirs of theformer British Prime Minister. During thecourse of their collaboration, the formerPrime Minister is accused of war crimes bya former Cabinet member. In the process oftrying to finish this book, he uncovers morethan he should and begins to question thevalidity of some of the stories.

What immediately hooked my attentionwas the stellar cast. Starring Ewan McGre-gor as the ghost writer, Pierce Brosnan asformer Prime Minister Adam Lang, KimCattrall as the office manager Amelia, andOlivia Williams as Lang’s wife, I had highexpectations for this film. I had no idea thatPolanski had directed and co-written thefilm until the credits ran, cementing myhigh opinion of this film.

The film opens ominously with thedeath of Lang’s original ghost writer. It isdue to his death that McGregor’s character

is hired to polish and finish what alreadyhad been done. However, when Lang isaccused of war crimes, the ghost writer isinvited to live with the Langs and their staffto avoid the media circus.

When living in his dead predecessor’sliving quarters, the ghost writer discoverssome information that contradicts whatLang had included in the book. As heinvestigates these things, he begins toquestion the circumstances surrounding hispredecessor’s death, as well as his ownsafety. What makes this good is anincredibly smart script that draws you inand keeps you guessing. Unlike other filmsthat drag on, this one grabs your attention.

There are several special features on thisDVD. First, there is an interview with
