Alfie presents a glimpse of the dizzyingly fast-paced social life of a serial womanizer. Jude Law has the clothes, the car and the looks to get any girl—and he does, with an endless string of paramours ranging wildly from an aging cosmetics empress (Susan Sarandon) to a flighty, semi-psychotic teenager. But the car is borrowed, the suits were on sale and beneath Law’s charming smirk is a calculating mind. Alfie has no warmth or romanticism, despite his British charm. The movie captures his gradual comprehension of that emptiness surprisingly well. His self...
...suggests how much Bush's success owes to Kerry's failure. The Senator never needed to be as likable as Bush to win, as Kerry proved when he defeated the popular Governor William Weld in their 1996 Senate race. Kerry just needed to be plausible.

A serial drama--say, Six Feet Under or 24--requires that you watch every week and pay close attention. That's a tall order given the competition from cable to the Internet to plain old busy work schedules, and networks are increasingly afraid that viewers will miss episodes, fall behind and give up. "There...
...chance to cultivate a constituency. And that's what character-driven shows need--to get an audience invested in the people, which happens over a series of episodes." Later this season Bochco will debut Blind Justice, an ABC drama about a sightless cop. It looks to be much less serial than his NYPD Blue (which goes off the air after this season); it also uses nifty visual effects to show how its lead "sees" a crime scene that look a lot like...
