...spaced-out, British gentleman. Unquestionably, though, the funniest performance comes from Kenneth Branagh as a viciously polite British official intent on destroying Radio Rock. His outraged caricature is particularly evident during a scene in which he casually threatens to outlaw one of his subordinate’s haircuts. Nick Frost??s (“Shaun of the Dead”) portly and shameless ladies man, Dr. Dave, consistently cracks jokes and snarky comments, despite being of little importance to the film’s plot. Another character named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke) justifies his namesake during a frustrating...
...prompted by Daniel Lanois’ production. The arrangements on that album were lush and spacious, propelled by lively performances from seasoned studio musicians—his tightest band since the mid-70s. Dylan produced the three albums that followed on his own (credited as “Jack Frost??) but he’s maintained the standard that Lanois set, framing his wry, enigmatic lyrics with an organic, energized sound anchored by longtime collaborator, bassist Tony Garnier.But on “Together Through Life,” production easily outpaces songwriting, as Dylan’s ambition...
...plays the television personality to perfection, sporting an ever-present million-dollar smile. By its end, Sheen reveals a Frost transformed from entertainer to thinker, a man who has come to take himself seriously after confronting serious issues.Sheen and Langella are supported in the film by Matthew Macfadyen as Frost??s straight-man producer John Birt, and by the comedic tag team of Oliver Platt and Sam Rockwell, who play Frost??s academic “crack investigators” with relish. The only failure of the film here is Rebecca Hall (last seen actually emoting...
...Brutus. Sara Kathryn Bakker shines brightly with a convincing Portia, blending the character’s tender devotion with her strong will as she attempts to get Brutus to let her into his thoughts. But the difficult-to-master complexity of Brutus is not quite reached in Jim True-Frost??s performance. Though the performances are solid, however, the acting takes a back seat to the imaginative staging elements: the aforementioned jazz trio, details like a Chevy hanging from the ceiling, and even some bizarre costuming decisions (Lucius’ in a homebrewed Superman getup). The artistic direction...
...sell access to the database a la iTunes. Regardless of the means chosen, the ends would be to create a parallel endowment not measured in dollars in foreign investment funds, but in our professors’ wealth of knowledge. And we might even be able to trace our next Frost??s inspiration right to the source: that early Tuesday morning lecture by Münsterberg that rocked his world. But the diverging roads between preservation and oblivion require a fast and brave decision from FAS. We have to start...
