...Second Avenue Subway while trying to rape a Tactical Force policeman in drag. Kubrick also ignores a potentially exciting view of the 1760s--the Hogarthian underside of English society. All told, the carefully composed landscapes and Kubrick's use of a new German lens to film in candlelight just save this film from being potboiler par excellance. That Kubrick's visuals can overcome such poor acting is a credit to his skill with the camera, but certainly not to his powers as a director. Jeff Flanders...
...eyes in embarassment after her mother had bustled out, and remarked that gee I had even remembered my license plate number in filling out the form. She advised us not to sleep too near the lake because it was very cold, and indeed, we almost perished, reading thrillers by candlelight in the tent.

They then proceeded to the mission's high-ceilinged granary for a dinner by candlelight. The high point of the day, though, occurred when the revelers assembled in the middle of a busy downtown intersection to give the former First Lady her $45,000 birthday present: an elaborate fountain carved from Mexican lava stone and placed near the Alamo on the spot where some...
...City Center's production of Three Sisters is one of mood, not thought, and while the bored yet quietly tense atmosphere of the play is vital it cannot be achieved at the expense of the characters. Tumarin's moody scenes with candlelight make surprisingly effective drama--but ultimately this Three Sisters is a Russian-flavored succotash of simple people, not a Chekhov play...
