...Corliss thinks Shakespeare in Love and its leading lady, Gwyneth Paltrow, were not Oscar worthy? The film has the cleverest plot, the most literate dialogue and the best acting and musical score, all while offering hilarity and heartbreak, romance and cold calculation. It succeeds marvelously in every way. As for Paltrow, if talent were possessed of speed, light itself would lag behind her. She gave breathtaking performances as Lady Viola and Thomas Kent in Shakespeare in Love, and she got only one Oscar for it? What was the Academy thinking? Alan B. Posner, Royal Oak, Mich...
...Clinton's buckraking, past and present - especially the ex-President's cornucopia of sleazy companions in recent years - but Rezko's suspicious visage was plastered all over the evening news on a nightly basis.

An arts-and-culture complex is one idea that has been proposed for the site that sits at the entrance of Harvard’s future expanded campus. In addition to relocating the existing 213 Charlesview units...
...team can’t even make a free throw—except for Clarence Brown, played by the rapper Andre 3000—this appears almost impossible. The movie centers on the extreme measures the team takes to avoid expulsion from the league. It’s a plot that sounds extremely familiar. “Semi-Pro” is essentially a remake of 2004’s “Dodgeball,” but without most of the laughs and any of the originality. While it’s hard to make an underdog story seem...
