...actor, who died in January at 28 of an accidental prescription-drug overdose, is magnificent. Echoing the sly psychopathy and scary singsong voice of Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Ledger!), Ledger carries in him the deranged threat of a punk star like Sid Vicious, whom he supposedly took as one of the models for his character. The Joker observes no rules, pursues no grand scheme; he's the terrorist as improv artist. Evil is his tenor sax, Armageddon his melody.

He points to the dock, where ships bring in vegetable oil from places like Indonesia and Malaysia, and to the rail terminal, where trains will help transport 100 million gallons (380 million L) of biodiesel a year to Imperium's customers. Watts is happy...
...this season by running the ball (first in the Ivy League), playing great defense (first in the nation in points allowed), and winning the turnover battle (first in the Ivy League)—a vindication of every dogmatic coach in the country. Shame on you, Sid! Your boys are boring...
