  1. 'Hugo': Martin Scorsese clocks in with a younger good fella

    Ministry of Gossip
    Martin Scorsese's usual good fellas made way for a 12-year-old boy hero and a dramatic dose of 3-D as the director's kids' movie "Hugo" premiered at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York. Based on Brian Selznick's award-winning novel "The Invention......

  3. Critic's notebook: National Theatre's NT Live season screens big

    Late spring, give or take a couple of weeks, traditionally marks the end of the theater season. And while taking stock of the last year, I'd like to make note of a group of plays I caught in Hollywood — Helen Mirren in "Phèdre," Richard Griffiths and Frances de la Tour in the world premiere production of Alan Bennett's "The Habit of Art" and, on Monday night in the program's ecstatic capper, Simon Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw in a revival of Dion Boucicault's " London Assurance."

  4. Oh 'Boys'

    NEW YORK — "Jersey Boys," a show about the '60s pop group Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons that has bucked a history of scorn for so-called jukebox musicals, on Sunday became the first of the genre to win a Tony Award for best musical.

  5. How about another song?

    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand.

    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand. Was there? Was Ryan Seacrest out there, terrorizing some Royal Shakespearean with his E! voodoo mumbo jumbo? I'm not even sure why...

  7. Movie review: 'The History Boys'

    <b>3 stars (out of four)</b>
    Tribune movie critic
    3 stars (out of four) The film taken from Alan Bennett's charming play "The History Boys" doesn't do much to disguise its stage origins. Certain performances, particularly that of Clive Merrison's sniveling headmaster, are so broad you may want to move...

  9. Handling a gem of a role with a craftsman's delicate touch

    RICHARD GRIFFITHS is probably best known to audiences as Harry Potter's loathsome Uncle Vernon. The veteran British actor traveled to the other end of the spectrum to create the deeply sympathetic character of Hector, a devoted teacher with a tragic flaw, in both the stage and screen versions of &quot;The History Boys."

  10. Aced the screen test

    WHEN a hit play is made into a film, the cast is invariably switched out for more famous film counterparts. Thus Mary Louise Parker is traded for Gwyneth Paltrow (&quot;Proof") or Meg Ryan ("Prelude to a Kiss"), Kathy Bates and F. Murray Abraham for Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino ("Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune"), and everyone else for Meryl Streep ("Plenty," "Marvin's Room," "Dancing at Lughnasa").

  11. 'The History Boys'

    What is the value of education, and how does it shape our understanding of the world? These are the questions posed by &quot;The History Boys," based on the hit play by Alan Bennett, directed by Nicolas Hytner and starring the original National Theater cast. A lively and entertaining disquisition on the purpose and uses of knowledge in a world that cares less about scholarship than quantifiable results, "The History Boys" asks us to ponder the moral consequences of reducing education to a tool for personal advancement, positing history as the infinitely malleable interpretation of recent events.
