...this is watchable enough, because Lonergan writes sharp dialogue and has more respect for plot than many playwrights these days. But none of it sticks to the ribs. Some blame goes to the actors (as Dawn, the female cop, Heather Burns has no street cred at all) and to Mark Brokaw's direction, which is too broad. But the fault lies mostly with Lonergan, who betrays his much vaunted realism with contrivance and cheap laughs at every turn. Example: Jeff, the cutely self-aware nincompoop, doesn't want to betray his boss's confidence, so he tells the whole story...
...worst terrace damage has occurred. But in outlying villages a lack of telephones means that making reservations is difficult. Still, a bed can generally be found, often in Ifugao stilt huts. At 1,200-m altitude or higher, nights can be cool. But the sight of a dawn mist rolling over 1,000 m of terraced mountainside compensates for any discomfort. Walkers can mostly manage with only a map but guides are useful for longer treks. The best time to visit is April and May, when the hills turn electric green with rice shoots...
...here's the key question: When historians look back on this moment in American education, will they see a) the beginning of the end of the SAT; b) a national frenzy over school testing in general; or c) the dawn of the testing industry's greatest boom? Try d) all of the above...
...film, made for less than $1 million in a digital format, consists entirely of "episodes" from The Contenders, complete with tacky titling and an unctuous, booming narrator. The minor miracle of Minahan's work is that it somehow encourages us to form a sympathetic bond with his main character, Dawn, whose ferocity is touched with a poignant longing for a kinder, gentler life by the splendid Brooke Smith. She is pregnant. She is back in the hometown she left in disgrace some years before. One of the people she is supposed to kill is the only boy she ever loved...
...performers no longer denounce white minority rule. New lyrics portray Africans straddling rural tradition and urban modernity, and dreams of well-being and the reality of suffering in a world of multiracial democracy. Yet at least one vestige of apartheid still defines isicathamiya. Late shows are deliberately extended to dawn, reflecting a recent past when curfew laws prevented blacks from walking at night in designated white areas downtown and around the docks...
