...However, the soundtrack of The Phantom Menace is somewhat disappointing in its lack of energy. Quirky, dainty and mysterious themes abound, but there is little of the excitement of a "Battle of Yavin" from the original film or the track titled "Return of the Jedi" from that film's soundtrack. There is something that sounds suspiciously similar to "The Emperor's Theme" from Return of the Jedi, but I can't be entirely sure. Of course, the familiar Obi-Wan Kenobi/The Force theme is present from time to time; but they are mere gestures that haunt the soundtrack, which actually...
...soundtrack for the first of the Star Wars prequels is a more subdued work than its predecessors but is nevertheless a fun and interesting piece of music. It is one of the few essentials of Star Wars collecting, and while it may be somewhat derivative, it is also creatively inspiring and interesting.

Following her nightly performances on Broadway, Friel often goes to a divey neighborhood...
...plays--works with imaginative ambition, a social context, plots--still exist, however, and two have arrived to end Broadway's season with a flourish. Amy's View has been dismissed, somewhat patronizingly, as a vehicle for Judi Dench, fresh from her Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. As Esme, the self-centered actress whose relationship with her daughter (Samantha Bond) deteriorates over the years, Dench is indeed a marvel, as impressive for what she doesn't do as what she does. This is no scenery-chewing cartoon of a theatrical grand dame but a tightly controlled and utterly convincing portrait...
