...this stricken cityscape, the truly malevolent -the Judge and his Beadle (Timothy Spall, that Hogarth cartoon of an actor, here more rodentoid than usual) - find their appropriate end. But so does the merely preening Pirelli, "the barber of kings, the king of barbers," impersonated with gusto by Sacha Baron Cohen. (All those real people Baron Cohen has fooled and mocked in his Ali G. and Borat incarnations may flock to see Pirelli get outsmarted and sliced up.) There is one decent young couple, a mirror of the barber and his wife in their early bliss: Sweeney's daughter Joanna (Jayne...
...finals, take some time to remember the days when reading was actually fun with these classic—but alas, now obscure and underappreciated—childrens’ illustrated series. 1.

But in L.A. it shared the L.A. prize with Persepolis, the biographic cartoon from the Iranian exile Marjane Satrapi. And the New York critics rebuffed Ratatouille - and The Simpsons Movie and Bee Movie and Beowulfand other ani-movies people have actually seen - with a first-ballot vote for Persepolis. An art-house film beat out movies that have already grossed nearly $1.5 billion dollars (or about 47 euros) worldwide...
