Leigh is deft with this material. He does not linger long with it, yet his sketches of urban life have an unsentimental firmness and fineness about them. Still, for all his good nature and for all of Hawkins' energy, Happy-Go-Lucky did not play for me as a comedy. Its true subject seems to be anger. Call it deflected anger - a rage that is turned aside not solely by Poppy's relentless good cheer but by the fact that beneath her manner she is a sensible manager of relationships that are often on the verge of going...

...half-eaten egg salad sandwich and Kevin Federline’s corndog went for $520. So what about Biel’s wine glass? JT’s napkin? As Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Roberto Kolter attests, the saliva on the glass and whatever may linger in the napkin can prove valuable in a lab. “Even if a few thousand or a few hundred thousand molecules remain, you can still break it down and get a DNA sequence out of it,” Kolter says. But in spite of the wonders of modern technology...

Fortunately for us, however, it does not linger often or long at that level. As movies like this go - stately homes constantly arustle with the sound of lingerie falling gently to the parquet floors - it is quite a lively, and even occasionally a rather touching, piece. The Duchess takes in a young woman named Bess (Hayley Atwell) who is being abused by her brutish husband. In due course, she becomes the Duke's mistress, living more or less comfortably with the Duke and Georgiana. (It is a very big house.) Georgiana also takes a lover: a rising politician, Charles Grey...

...force, allowing the listener to identify them and marvel at their complete transformation. “Feed the Animals” is more hyperactive than Girl Talk’s previous album “Night Ripper,” with songs darting from genre to genre and rarely lingering long on any one loop. Though this hyperactivity may overwhelm at points, Girl Talk’s redistribution of guilty pleasures, classic rock favorites, and club standards can also be exhilarating during crucial moments like the end to “Set it Off,” when he races...

...dispute and disposition of the estate. (Berling, solid and subtle, becomes the focus of the film; Binoche and Renier appear only briefly.) I think Assayas wants Hélene's loss to be felt through the rest of the picture. Her shadow, and that of her home, have to linger till the end, when Frédéric's own children spend a last weekend at the chateau, and one of them connects with its gentle spirit. That last scene gives Summer Hours its own haunting spell as well...
