Within seconds, the 70 Harvard students and professors gathered at Brattle Theatre went silent. Camera phones clicked and the auditorium filled with whispers of, “Oh my God, it’s Andy!” Actor-turned-director Andy Garcia took the stage yesterday afternoon for a special screening of his 2005 directorial debut, “The Lost City.” The screening was part of a Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations tribute to Garcia for his humanitarian work. Garcia has worked on behalf of hurricane victims, at-risk youth, and cancer patients...
...What's clear from the opening shot of Branagh's version is that he desperately wants this Sleuth to be not the record of a play but a real, filmy film. Unfortunately, his notion of film is a combination of bizarre camera angles and an alternation of baffling long shots and punishing closeups.

The move, according to teachers, may be controversial, but is necessary. “Before, you would conserve and put all your energy towards that one picture; and now, it’s like you take...
...loved, by fans. While the video’s style takes pains to portray the rough underbelly of rap that no longer exists for some of its biggest stars, T.I. seems uncomfortable in a role he once played perfectly. Though he can swing a chain imposingly, threaten the camera with a bat, and mimic pulling out a gun, the actions seem unnatural and unthreatening. The company T.I. keeps is slightly more intimidating. Alfa Mega’s appearance is menacing and fits the lyrics well. Surely no one wants to meet him in a dark alley. Busta seems more fascinated...
