...childhood, books leave more room than movies for conjuring," Greenspan says, "but movies can bring literature alive and stir the imagination." Greenspan and others say the most important aspect of movie watching is the conversation after the final credits roll, when kids can be encouraged to think critically, be curious and go looking for answers in a book...
...remake it? The new Brian's Song (Sunday, Dec. 2, 7 p.m. E.T.) follows the original's playbook so closely that it never really answers the question. But it makes a few changes--good, bad and curious. Sayers (here, Mekhi Phifer) and Piccolo (Sean Maher) were bitter rivals before they were friends, and the remake does a better job showing how the flinchy, all-business Sayers, a born superstar, clashed with Piccolo, who compensated for his middling talent with hard work and disarming jokes.

On “Mi Amiga Mi Amore”, the two traded combative fours (four-bar solo segments); instead of amicably pushing each other to greater creative heights, the same goal was accomplished antagonistically, as if they were attempting to show up one another (for the curious, Castrillo won). The spectacle was out of place for a night where the leader was being so inclusive. Negron also tangibly lacked a sense of subtlety. For the night, funk’s bombast was tempered by the subtlety and nuances of Latin music, but someone forgot to tell...
