...Swampscott, MA. In particular, “Ocean at Bay, Swampscott” lovingly describes the poem’s namesake with an eye for detail only poets can manage. Lepson describes the many colors of Swampscott’s water—“blue ice, glint-white, brown”—paying attention to every creature that comes along and enjoys the scene with her: turtles, a Dalmatian, and a pigeon. Lepson boldly declares: “I love this town.”The sea also figures as an object of love throughout...
...collarless shirt that give him a vaguely clerical look. His expression is earnest, but a little geeky. On the back of this fall's The Daughters of Joy: An Adventure of the Heart - Chopra's third novel and his second book published this year - all that has changed. A glint of gray shows at his temples, and the tentative half smile of the earlier picture is replaced by a confident, twinkly-eyed grin.

Its attention to period detail and emotional nuance is lax, plodding, lacking either the grinding power of inevitability or a brief, fierce glint of Halder's conflicted conscience. As he is sucked into the morass, the film and the viewer sink with...
...Comic-Con, there's no point in having a lead category. Their job is to show up, look hot and perhaps answer a vaguely provocative question about weapons training. But Gugino contributed actual information at the Watchmen panel, discussing Sally Jupiter/Silk Spectre's tragic character arc. "You see the glint of light in her eyes, who she could have been," Gugino said of a scene played at the panel. While atypical for the Con, Gugino's seriousness was an indication that Watchmen is no ordinary superhero movie...
