...reforming zeal. But however much one may agree with him, one must surely admit that the Lords provide a venerable spectacle, full of idiosyncratic character. The sight of the Lord Chancellor in all his forbidding finery, slumped on the woolsack adjusting his wig, listening intently to the sound of sweet and reasoned discourse (mixed with the occasional grunt and snore) is civilized, faintly amusing and surprisingly effective in terms of its legislative product...

Kidman does her best to portray the bad girl who uses her magic for fun, but such a sickly sweet Bullock offsets her. Kidman walks into Bullock's attempts to create a normal life in smalltown New England, saying things like, "Hang on to your husbands, ladies." But we end up feeling sorry for Kidman instead of rejoicing in her power. It is goody-two-shoes Bullock who does most...

...want to die," she quietly moans in a brief and uncharacteristic moment of weakness. The sweet-faced receptionist assures us in a gruff Boston accent, "I never ever heard of anyone dying from paintball." Eighteen Tufts students and eager young boys with their fathers gather in the paint-splattered waiting room. My friends and I sit down and admire a particularly deadly-looking weapon lying on the table...
