...good example of the pleasures of the star revival is the new production of A Man for All Seasons, with Frank Langella doing the honors as Sir Thomas More, the chancellor to King Henry VIII who went to death rather than betray his conscience by blessing the king's divorce and his break with the Church of Rome. Langella's interpretation has drawn some criticism, suprisingly, for being too saintly and hammy - surprising because what stood out for me in Langella's performance was how bracingly human it is. As the rebellious counselor, Langella is a man of stoic determination...
...variety, with its dazzling array of themes and styles, rather than, like many previous exhibitions, focusing on specific facets of his oeuvre. The show organizes the approximately 250 works on display into groups, each corresponding to an aspect of the human life cycle, from birth to death, religion to travel. By highlighting various elements of Klee's diverse body of work - such as his preoccupation with music or animals - the show also stresses its universality, something that is also visible in the dualistic nature of his art. On the one hand, for example, he was fascinated by simple, seemingly chaotic...
...Bond films want to remain faithful, in their fashion, to the Ian Fleming fictions that spawned them. But Fleming wrote only 12 Bond novels and eight short stories before his death in 1964, back when only two of the films had been released and nobody dreamed that the series would reach, as it has now, 22 "official" features over 46 years.

So this time...

...suicide bombing that rocked Kabul on Wednesday was but the latest outrage in a fresh wave of violence that began on October 20 with the shooting death of a British charity worker, followed by the assassination of two western DHL employees less than a week later. The bomb attack on the Ministry of Culture and Information, not far from the presidential palace, appears to have targeted the ministry's foreign advisers, according to the Taliban spokesman who claimed responsibility for the attack on behalf of his organization in an interview with the Associated Press. Three attackers rushed the gate...
