Reviews for Joe Wright's adaptation of Atonement. Stella Papamichael at BBC writes:
Flourishes of ‘hyper-reality’ are grounded by sterling performances from Knightley (defined by a strong and elegantly poised backbone), Romola Garai as the 18-year-old Briony and, above all, James McAvoy. He exudes the essence of humanity in a truly soulful picture.
At the UK premiere of Atonement, Keira Knightley wore a bandage, and James McAvoy... I can't think of a single cheeky thing to say about him.
The fifth and final season of The Wire airs in January 2008. Washington Post article about the upcoming season, which just wrapped up shooting:
This sensibility of art as mission statement pervades the conversations of everyone here -- writers, actors, producers, casting directors, crew. Here, they don't talk about TV, they talk about "television." There is a sense of them being the earnest outsiders, messengers shining a klieg light on society's ills. Whether you like it or not.
Has everybody in Australia been listening to the radio, where our eminently wise and highly esteemed PM John Howard has been left, right and centre going about calling anti-APEC demonstrators "ignorant"? As if protestors are petulent teenage daughters who can be teased out of wearing a particularly unflattered pair of jeans.
Roy F. Baumeister usurps culture as characteristically male social product in order to argue that human cultures exploit men. Yeah, you read that right.
