...oaks hang. Paradoxically, for all the open air, it's Goldsworthy's new indoor works that are the fresher. "A building, no matter how beautiful, is a dead space," says the sculptor, whose solution has been to carry the outdoors inside. One room is now a cocoon of coppiced sweet chestnut, another is clad in crackled local clay. In a third hangs an exquisite 12-m-wide filigree curtain made of 10,000 horse-chestnut stalks pinned together with thorns. High on a hill overlooking the park, all but a snaking ribbon of picture window has been covered...
...would never expect a basketball program ecstatic to achieve a top-150 RPI each year to recruit a coach who has led a team to the Sweet Sixteen. It would never cross an alum’s mind that a coach who was mentored by Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, as a player from 1984 to 1987 and as an assistant coach from 1988 to 1997, would at one time prowl the sidelines of Lavietes’ hardwood floor...

All in all, “Traffic and Weather” is more than a solid effort. Granted, its thematic ideas border on gimmicky at times, but the work...
...whose “death-proof” car serves as the primary weapon on his murderous rampage. Until, that is, he gets a taste of his own medicine from a pack of girls (Tracie Thomas, Rosario Dawson, and real-life stunt queen Zoë Bell) with a sweet ride of their own. As ambitious as it is flawed, “Death Proof” fails to entertain as much as the blood-and-camp festival that is “Planet Terror.” Tarantino’s self-reflexivity is a bit too humorless, his dialogue...
