...front office that the knives came out.) Most movies, whatever their genre, were romances; they aimed for tears and ended with a kiss. But to serious critics then, and to the mass audience now, sentiment is suspect. Feeling is mushy, girly - for fools. To be soft-hearted is to be soft-headed. So critics will see a horror film with extreme violence, or (less frequently) an erotic film with extreme sex, and accept these as genre conventions, whether or not they're grossed out or aroused. But a movie that tries to make them feel is somehow pandering to their...
...learned the lesson of sexual tolerance. Not many fundamentalists are going to see The History Boys. The problems with it seem to me to lie elsewhere. There is something self-consciously adorable in the writing and playing of Hector. He is Mr. Chips written a little too large and soft - literally so, since Griffiths is an obese man. He needs someone among the students to resist his overbearing but yet rather theatrically conventional nonconformity.

Bruins’ defenseman Mike Zaher received a pass at the top of the 18-yard box and fired a quick return pass to Zizzo, who had snuck by an oblivious Harvard defense and sent a one-touch shot from the five-yard box into...
...coalition of digital media companies: Creative, iriver, Samsung and others on the hardware side; Napster and even competitors such as Yahoo! and RealNetworks on the software side. It teamed with music muscle MTV Networks to build the smartest service of them all, Urge. But marketing never followed Urge's soft launch, and it's still foundering. Unable to lead an ever-changing band of ornery partners, Microsoft finally decided that the only way to go after Apple was to go it alone...
