...StarsThe Queen wears Cons and rocks out to New Order and the Banshees in Sofia Coppola’s lavish, though perhaps excessively opulent, re-envisioning of one of history’s most infamous monarchs. Inspired by Antonia Fraser??s somewhat controversial biography, Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette” offers a sympathetic portrait of a young girl trapped in a glittering and cold palatial prison. The film follows the Austrian-born princess from her engagement at 14 through her life at the royal court of Versailles. The majority of the film centers...
...stopped each and every puck—and 29 on the night—for his third career shutout in front of a sellout crowd of 10,748 fans. North Dakota pulled goalie Philippe Lamoureux with 1:34 remaining, tacking another skater onto the man-advantage created by Jimmy Fraser??s interference minor with 2:03 left to play, but Harvard made Taylor’s goal stand up amidst a flurry of late activity.

TWO-MINUTE MINORS Sophomore Alex Meintel was sidelined by a sprained ankle he suffered...
...Syrians controlling both the legitimate economy and the black market in his rendering of a British colony in West Africa. For Evelyn Waugh’s archetypical, if imagined, post-independence “Azania,” it was the Armenians. For Flashman, the eponymous troublemaker of George Fraser??s series of adventure novels, non-British collaborators (“colonized” persons themselves) were the fulcrum of imperial administration. Cowardly but lucky, Flashman collects his soldier’s pay, womanizes and drinks while subalterns took care of the Empire’s problems...
...QUIET AMERICAN. Michael Caine is garnering some of the best reviews of his career for his role as a hardened journalist in this adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel. The film, set in 1950s Vietnam, pits Caine against Brendan Fraser??s undercover American spy as Fraser vies for the affections of Caine’s Vietnamese mistress (Do Thi Hai Yen). Fraser??s intervention in the romance is intended to parallel the film’s other plot—a commentary on the early American efforts to eradicate communism in Vietnam. Christopher Hampton...
