Seems like the "Beverly Hillbillies" review is actually talking about mobile
phones/cell phones rather than cordless landline phones -- it wouldn't make any
sense for students at a high school to be "packing" the latter.
Although the "Down and Out" review probably is talking about cordless landline
phones.
I can't tell about the other two -- seems like it could be either one.
So now we need to figure out when movie reviewers finally got their terminology
straight!
