Shakespeare's Wife is as much a social history as a biography. In some of its most fascinating passages, Anne becomes the vehicle to convey Elizabethan rituals and beliefs. During her labor, midwives likely drew the curtains and lit the fire: bright light, they thought, might drive a laboring Anne insane, and locals construed the birth of her twins as the result of "inordinate sexual desire." When Anne's son died at age 11, perhaps of cerebral palsy, mourners carried his body through town on a tabletop. Respectful townspeople laid down their tools as the procession, led by Anne, passed...

...rise, taking bigger bites out of profit. The Weinsteins' Grindhouse cost $53 million to make, according to a Variety source, but made just over half of that at the box office. One way to cut down on costs is to decamp to Asia, where a large labor force with technical skills will work for less. More American filmmakers are flying to Thailand, Indonesia, and even China - where government guidelines are still a hindrance - to shoot films they might once have shot in California or Toronto...
