...have predicted the astonishing visual dexterity he brings to “Goblet.” Newell’s vision avoids the cringe-worthy pandering of the first two Chris Columbus-helmed films and steers clear of the obvious filmic handprints that Alfonso Cuaron left all over his Gothic recasting of “Prisoner of Azkaban.” In fact, it’s difficult to speak of Newell’s vision at all, as the images and story he presents are such a faithful distillation of its source material that it’s ultimately...

...raft of hospitality awards, not least for its relaxed yet flawless service. "Fay ce que voudras" (Do as you like) reads an inscription in medieval French above the entrance. The exhortation was incised in Victorian times but reflects proprietor Tim Hart's service philosophy. Hart converted the 1881 Gothic and mock Tudor stone mansion from a hunting lodge to a hotel 25 years ago, and says he aims "to combine friendliness with professionalism." His wife, Stefa, is the interior designer responsible for Hambleton's cheerful, idiosyncratic d?cor, which tempts guests to kick off their shoes and recline on overstuffed sofas...

In addition, a modern TV infrastructure had to be implanted without seriously disturbing any of the splendid 1927 shell. For all that, the total cost was still probably less...

...often called “The Pastoral,” the momentous event in the fourth movement is a storm and the fifth movement represents conciliation and thanksgiving. In Schumann’s third, the “event” is the interior of the great Gothic Cathedral just south of Duesseldorf. It is nearly impossible to discern if the fourth movement is the deepest expression of sorrow or joy, but the extremities of joy and sorrow can often seem indistinguishable due to the profundity of feelings involved.
