About halfway down Shop Street in downtown Galway, Ireland, there’s often a crowd outside Chipeen, where they serve hundreds of pounds each day of what they call “proper Irish chips” – chunky peeled potato batons cut thicker than a typical American fry. Crispy and golden outside, with a fluffy interior texture, Chipeen elevates these chips beyond a side dish to make them a meal – and nothing could be bad about that.
It’s clear that “Forbidden Fruits” director and co-writer Meredith Alloway has marinated in plenty of ‘90s teen movies and the kitschy pop culture ephemera of that era. Her directorial debut, written with Lily Houghton and based on Houghton’s play “Of the woman came the beginning of sin and through her we all die,” is essentially a synthesis of “The Craft,” “Mean Girls” and “Clueless,” about a ...

DEAR MISS MANNERS: When writing letters to friends – and I am of the generation that treats emails like letters – I am often unsure whether to end the letter with “Love” or “Best.”
In the 2004 film “The Notebook,” rich girl Allie Hamilton is wooed by a blue-collar Noah Calhoun who’s so persistent – even securing their first date by threatening to drop to his death from a Ferris wheel if she declines – that the Millennial-favorite romantic drama is comically spoofed in numerous YouTube videos as a thriller about a deranged stalker.
In a 1937 letter to Herbert Kimbrough, dean of Washington State College’s School of Music and Fine Arts, abstract expressionist painter Clyfford Still wrote, “During the summer of 1936, while (colleague Worth Griffin) and I were painting on the Indian reservations in the State of Washington, we were struck by the abundance of valuable and colorful material that is offered the creative worker.
