...Bart Simpson would say, that's funny for so many reasons. Only a few weeks ago, movie insiders were confidently predicting that Gibson would lose his hairshirt over this movie-the $30 million of his own money it took to produce, plus another bundle for prints and advertising. Now that the film has registered the highest opening-day midweek gross of any non-sequel in North American box office history, Gibson's supposed to be a panderer, pimping Christ's suffering to audiences who didn't realize they needed to see their personal Redeemer get scourged for the longer part...
...public admission). But she shrouds that crucial point in a show of grief, describing how she gulped for air and cried and felt the universal female emotion of wanting to wring her husband's neck. There's a couple million votes right there. Martha just needs to don a hairshirt under her perfect Oxford blouse, confess to misjudgments as if she's on Oprah, show contrition, ask forgiveness.

The band's considerable heft and impact reside where they properly belong: in the group's driven, likably demented music, with its passages of unexpected lyricism and its lyrics full of muted menace, in which...
Elmire reminds the skeptical Orgon to reveal himself before things go too far. McElvain descends the stairs with utmostholy piety; Rodgers leads him on with an ironic smile. Sneering at Orgon's simplicity, McElvain rips off his hairshirt (revealing clean linen underneath) and prepares to go at it. Director Grey Johnson draws out the scene for all it's worth, keeping Orgon (Bill McCann) under the table until Tartuffe has practically consummated the affair. Rodgers, displaying genuine alarm, keeps kicking McCann under the table, unable to believe he could hesitate so long before putting a stop to things. Johnson controls...
