...Utter chaos, untold mayhem"--those were but a few of the gloomy predictions on what changing over to the euro would cause in France. But the arrival of the euro proved to be a fabulous and magical moment, as distrust gave way to sheer excitement. Oddly enough, for all the minor inconveniences that switching to a totally new currency overnight could have generated, there was a prevailing sense of conviviality and togetherness as French people started fiddling with their euro coins and bills. Buying my usual baguette at my local bakery on Jan. 1, I witnessed a spending frenzy...
...already well-parodied cliches two decades ago. There's Roger, the materialistic go-getter (Eddie Shin); there's Tuesday, a snarly punk with a spiked hairdo (Chyler Leigh) who delivers lines--"So I'm punk. Deal with it"--that an actual punk would sooner safety pin her brain than utter. Occasionally, '80s hints that it wants to be subtler and smarter than it is; it acknowledges, for instance, that by 1984 Tuesday's look is years out of date, as if the writers couldn't resist the predictable hair joke but felt a little embarrassed about...
...Sept. 11, as I was trying to make sense of the terrorist attacks and wondering where I would find my courage, I heard Mayor Giuliani utter his now famous words "the number of casualties will be more than any of us can bear."

With a plot this outlandish, Loomis could quickly grow exasperating and tiresome. Yet writer-directors Daniel Chun ’02 and Jeremy Bronson ’02 have succeeded in infusing the script with enough charming absurdity that it remains fresh even as it veers towards utter inanity. Though a few of the gags eventually get stale, the comically expert cast keeps things suitably buoyant as the show nears its conclusion. Particularly hilarious are Thomas Odell ’04 as Whale (and in a smaller role as Mr. Pemberton), Brendan Demay ’02 as the title...
...oddball essay on the lure of the forbidden, the lucidity of dreams. Lots goes wrong here, so we'll just pick on the dialogue. Cruz's English is often unintelligible; Lee, who plays the hero's intellectual friend, can't pronounce the word intellectual; and Diaz is forced to utter the most off-putting line in recent movies (let's just say it includes the word swallowed). The poor dear plays a character so shrill and needy that it makes Diaz almost not fantastically attractive...
