...turn Hamlet into a filmmaker nicely modernizes his dramatic obsession, Hawke simply isn't talented or mature enough to tackle such a weighty work. Where Hamlet should be plaintive and forthright, he seems surly and bratty, and where the part calls for tortuous introspection, Hawke settles into a lifeless, gravelly monotone. For the most part, Hawke doesn't seem to know the implications of what he's saying. Accordingly, little chemistry develops with Ophelia because Stiles spends much of her screen time pouting and skulking.

The Golden Knights have a habit of starting slowly, but with half the season gone, they alarmingly have yet to post a conference victory...

Artschwager takes a living material, wood, and presents it as lifeless; his sculptures are rigorously symmetrical, quadrangular and severe. Bleckner, on the other hand, makes his canvases feel biological, endowing oil and linen with all of the texture, mutability and fluid motion of life...
