...reproductions allow viewers to navigate easily across large paintings like Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights, moving from the serene portrait of Adam and Eve in paradise to Earth's naked bodies coupling inside a mussel shell or munching oversize pieces of fruit, or Hell's kissing pigs disguised as nuns, with an ease that - given the work's size and intricacy - would be denied a visitor standing before the actual 7-by-13-ft. (220 by 390 cm) triptych...
...problem is Kumar, who has risen in the Bollywood hierarchy from thug to action star to top comedian. Bearing a disconcerting resemblance to Adam Sandler in his clownish moments (and, when he finally achieves heroic stature, to John Turturro), Kumar must play a child-man whose talisman is a potato imprinted with the elephant likeness of the Hindu god Ganesh; but the 6 ft. 1 actor is too big and imposing to lend vulnerability to this naif.

Taylor notes that since the early 1990s, when Steven Spielberg was preparing his Oscar-winning Schindler's List, there have been 170 Holocaust movies. (The Internet Movie Database lists 429 titles on the subject.) It has become not just a topic...
...past decade he's headlined nine movies that have grossed more than $100 million at the domestic box office? Zohan showed he could play a smarter, livelier, more active character and still connect with the mass audience. But in Bedtime Stories he's back to the old, tightly-wound Adam. In one of his exchanges with creepy Kendall, Skeeter says, "And me, I'm like the stink on your feet. I ain't ever goin' anywhere."
