...More adventurous commercial galleries and various cooperatives have congregated in the last several years along Harrison and Thayer, a sparsely populated area of warehouses, some rehabilitated and some abandoned, on the outskirts of the South End. As gallery director Bernard Toale puts it, the "landscape-and-sailboat dealers will never want to come down here." The difference between the Newbury and the South End galleries is apparent on several levels.

Ewan MacGregor's imitation of Guinness' way of speaking in the new movie was a nice touch, though it didn't quite cancel...
After many years of study and practice, Harrison Ford has just about mastered the art of talking without moving his lips. Kristin Scott Thomas is newer at the game of masking her emotions, but chilly elegance has achieved near total mastery over the sexiness she exuded in The English Patient...
