ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Is love passing you by? Or just matrimony?

Advertiser Staff and News Services

If you're single and 35 or older, is your marital status cause for alarm?

Or does it infuriate you that books such as "How to Find a Husband After 35" come off as not-so-subtle suggestions that you're just about over the hill?

Tell us what you think of those studies that predict your declining chances of ever finding a mate. Are you a starry-eyed romantic or a cynic when it comes to love?

Send your relationship tales, worries and woes to relationships writer Tanya Bricking Leach at Kisses and Misses, The Honolulu Advertiser, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96802; e-mail kissesandmisses@honoluluadvertiser.com; or fax 525-8055. Your letters may be used in upcoming columns. Please include a daytime phone number.



From the early days of Spike Lee

Spike Lee has called "She's Gotta Have It" the least favorite of his films.

But as dated as Lee's 1986 film debut looks and feels in 2005, it remains an inspirational cornerstone of the new African-American cinema that followed. Directed by Lee while still a film student, the movie explores the life of Nola Darling, a young Brooklyn woman juggling three very different boyfriends.

The Doris Duke Theatre screens the film today at 1 and 7:30 p.m. as part of its continuing Pan-African/ African-American film series. Tickets are $5 general, $3 for Academy of Arts members. For more information, call 532-8700.



FINAL WORD

Jeff Zucker | NBC Universal Television Group president, on the network's slip in the TV ratings:

"We knew we were going to be in for a tough year this year in the post-'Friends' era. It turned out to be tougher than we expected."
