...final word for those of you who just don't care for musicals: The movie's true lyricism is less in its score than in its visual and emotional palette, and in watching Depp rise to the majesty of madness. So give Sweeney Todd a try. Even Victor, when he finally saw it, agreed: it's bloody great...
...parliamentary minutiae and the free speech resolution of anthropology professor J. Lorand Matory ’82, leaving no time to act on any of the several measures pertaining to the actual governance of the College.

Inspired by the art of fingernail design, the video features numerous leg-like fingers artistically break dancing on the salon?...

In the final analysis, the film’s myriad of merits derive from its high brow repartee, its majestic visual representation of an African-American South as intellectual as it is sensuous, its unapologetic portrayal of gruesome racial violence, and its mise-en-scène of rhetoric.So the movie is a success then. Right?Well, yes, but no. It’s a success on its own terms.The whole time...
