Additionally, elitist though it may be to say, performing the play in English instead of French automatically robs some of the truest life of Anouilh's words. Sawyer has not done a tremendous amount to reinvigorate the script and turn her production from a fine staged reading into an evocative drama. This Antigone is rich in ideas but never comes around to engaging the senses...
...little horror satire, from the inspired opening montage to, even better, a group of awestruck foreign tourists that stare at the trees with wide-eyed wonder while babbling about Coffin Rock and little stick figures. These are the glimmers of the film I dearly wish Berlinger decided to pursue. Instead, he has his troupe camp out in the woods and, after a night of drunken revelry, awake to find their memory of the last five hours blank and their campsite, not to mention the movie, in complete disarray.

Sure, Liz Hurley is a real snot, but does she deserve this much attention? Of course not. But hey, Hollywood desperately needed somebody to egg instead of Dubya.

Instead, he wants to "reform" Social Security (i.e. raise the retirement age) and Medicare (i.e. force seniors into HMOs). Reform-minded voters beware.

...survived the initial accident. So for Putin, it's another case of a syndrome that has been best described by former prime minister Viktor Chernomyrdin: 'We hoped for the best, but it turned out as always.' He'd put all this expense and manpower into recovering the bodies, and instead he lifted the very noose he'd tried to bury...
