Directed by Laurence Dunmore The Weinstein Company 2 stars I, like many women of my age and demographic, have an all-consuming crush on Johnny Depp. I love his taut facial expressions, his manly shoulders, and his two illegitimate French children. Therefore, I was extremely disappointed when, half-0way through “The Libertine,” Depp gets syphilis and develops excruciating, puss-laden lesions all over his face. “The Libertine” may be a cinematic mess, syphilis or no syphilis, but it got significantly worse when I had to cower and yell...
...face it, while guilt may impel some celebrities to volunteer, guilt is a two-way street. We're the ones who buy the tickets and watch Entertainment Tonight. When I read in PEOPLE magazine about Jessica Simpson jetting to Africa to help kids with facial deformities ("They were in awe of the blond hair," she reported), sure, I laughed. She conveniently happened to turn from Daisy Duke into Florence Nightingale just as her impending split from husband Nick Lachey was dribbling into the tabloids. But then again, what was I doing to improve the lives of needy children in Africa...
...sexual lubricant. Who knew that K-Y Jelly is actually gauche? Apparently it’s much like wearing an item from the Mary Kate and Ashley line to the Oscars.

...confirmed, graceful geisha. Zhang’s depth of performance is best demonstrated in a scene in which Sayuri debuts in a solo dance, swaying crazily over the stage, her hair flying wildly over a white kimono—while she is performing for all of Kyoto, her facial expressions convey that she is personally dancing for the Chairman (Ken Watanabe) whom she loves. There is always the risk that Hollywood’s sound and visual effects will ruin the text’s literary merit, but the cinematic techniques of “Memoirs of a Geisha?...
...stage production. In “The Producers,” a static camera, minimal editing and washed-out lighting give the impression of a banal sitcom. The cast also fails to adapt stage acting to film acting—Broderick in particular. Huge over-the-top motions and facial expressions are necessary to convey the emotion onstage; but film acting, even in a Mel Brooks film, should be more subdued. Everyone in the cast is so hyped up that the audience sometimes misses the punch line.There are moments in “The Producers” that are laugh...
