...involving the return of the evil Lord Volemort. In cramming in both necessary elements, the film felt like an animated stick figure, a conglomeration of bare bones allusions to the novel’s major dramatic moments that did not satisfactorily flesh out details. The production design, while otherwise superb, nearly crumbled under the weight of tacky, poorly realized special effects. All this made the movie feel like a project rushed through production to cash in on the Potter craze.

With 40 paintings and drawings, Manet dominates the show, but the five Velázquez portraits alone...
...what Beck didn’t put into his demeanor he poured into superb renditions of his finest material. Providing a rich backdrop, the Flaming Lips deftly fleshed out some songs, like “Lonesome Tears” and the lounge jam “Paper Tiger,” as they cleverly injected their own alterna-pop flavor into others like “Lost Cause.” As serious as he seemed at times, Beck was in top form during the most rollicking and silly tracks, like “Nicotine and Gravy...
