We hope our readers in the U.S. and Canada who haven’t seen the movie get to do so this weekend! Remember, the rhythm is going to get you! (Mr. Kholi said so!) Read on for the latest reviews, and then post your review in the comments.
The reviews are still coming in, and are mixed, but we do not entirely despair of the state of modern film criticism. (more…)
Can somebody please tell me why we’ve gotten a zillion hits from folks searching for the phrase “Jane Austen heroine” today? Is there a contest or something? I know that eBay Treasure Hunt thing is over, so that can’t be it…
