...role well, yet displayed too great an awareness of its inherent implausibility. Every opportunity to make Emmeline’s naiveté a source of charm was missed, making the character almost unpleasant at times.A better-balanced duo were Grimbald (Benjamin T. Morris ’09), an evil fiend under Osmond’s control, and Philidel (Robin W. Reinert ’10), a good spirit who helps Merlin. Their scenes together were always entertaining, particularly when Morris’ hoarse and earthy Grimbald attempts to disguise himself by singing more sweetly to counteract the effects of Reinert?...

...sudden depredations - pow, you're dead - grants the movie some of its very curious rhythm. It has a rather calm and objective air about it most of the time. But whenever Bardem appears, something nasty starts twisting in your gut. He's about as perfect a representation of unambiguous evil as the movies have lately offered. And Brolin is his perfect foil. He's terrific as a totally twisted cop in American Gangster, but he's equally good as a totally innocent good ole boy here. All right, trying to make off with someone else's ill-gotten gains...

Rowling's story started as a children's book and evolved into teenage reading material. That is it. Cloud is gay and proud, which is fantastic. But as Grey's Anatomy's T.R. Knight said, "I hope being gay is not the most interesting part about...

...Kevin Spacey to play the villain. You’ve gotta get Spacey to play the villain. The man put Gwyneth Paltrow’s head in a box in “Se7en,” so he’s sure to bring some lighthearted evil to “Fred Claus,” which opens nationwide this weekend. And who knows, it may have been a good idea. When parents have to choose which Christmas film to take their kids to this year, knowing that esteemed British actress Miranda Richardson will be playing Mrs. Claus might...

...hell that exists inside. The Gabriel to Bardem’s Mephistopheles is Tommy Lee Jones ’69, the aging sheriff of Brolin’s hometown. Jones follows the trail of bodies just a step behind Bardem, hoping to protect Brolin from the unstoppable evil. Jones provides a psychological grounding point, a man who has seen more years of bloodshed than any should, and is powerless to do anything but crack hollow jokes in the face of the tide that threatens to swallow him. Like any McCarthy novel, in the battle between good and evil, evil always...
