...Enter Sydney Fife (Segel), a large, louche fellow with no discernable means of income but with a self-confidence that Peter is on the way to understanding he totally lacks. For purposes of plot, this odd couple clicks, and they start hanging out together at Sidney's Pacific pad. It's essentially a learning experience, Sydney serving as Henry Higgins to Peter's Eliza Doolittle. While Sydney strolls down the Malibu promenade refusing to clean up his dog's fresh turds, Peter confesses that his favorite movie is the girlie drama Chocolat and that, when he masturbates, his erotic inspiration...
...touch of tattered grace in a plebeian revival of Streetcar. And though Londoners shouldn't have been surprised by the way Richardson could wrap an audience in her spell, she was a revelation in Trevor Nunn's take on Ibsen's Lady from the Sea. The plot is high harlequin: a dark and stormy night, a chronically sensitive young wife aching for a strong rogue to free her from the marital cage. But Richardson let star quality shine through, with a grandeur audiences had been hoping for since her youth. Virtually channeling her mother, she had all the intensity...
...classroom.Further merits go to David J. Smolinsky ’11, who plays Scripps, the aspiring-writer who narrates the play in the form of a memoir.

...clear and smoothly executed. In one moment, Clay and Kelly are talking to Mr. Hadid about the price of the dinner table, while in the next the audience is transported into the middle of their terrible Thanksgiving dinner.Despite the clarity of these temporal shifts, there are several key plot questions that go unanswered through most of the play, but this ambiguity shapes its tempo. Who or what is eating the avocados? What is the mysterious rash afflicting Kayla? Why did Clay and Kelly invite this man into their home, and why are they telling him the story of their dysfunctional...
...actors from IFC’s “The Whitest Kids U’Know”—direct, produce, and star in the film, which is little more than a failed narcissistic foray into the unforgiving world of the feature-length movie. The plot is typical bromance fodder. After waking up from four years in a coma, Eugene Bell (Cregger) discovers that his once virginal high-school girlfriend Cindi Whitehall (Raquel Alessi), has become a Playboy centerfold. His pre-coma best friend Tucker Cleigh (Moore) has relationship issues of his own after accidentally stabbing his epileptic...
