John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play Doubt, about a priest accused of abusing an altar boy at Bronx Catholic school, has been adapted for the screen, starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sounds prestigious, but Anthony Lane at the New Yorker is bored to tears: "Collectors of large narrative signposts will spend a happy couple of hours at Shanley’s movie, enjoying the window-rattling thunderstorms that he uses to indicate spiritual crisis, and the grimness with which Sister Aloysius, narrowing her red-rimmed eyes, delivers the line 'So, it’s happened.'
"I didn’t know you could hiss, groan, and murmur at the same time, but Streep can do anything. She is, of course, wasted on this elephantine fable; if only Doubt had been made in 1964, shot by Roger Corman over a long weekend, and retitled Spawn of the Devil Witch or Blood Wimple, all would have been forgiven."

I love Totoro!
Uh, anyone want to tell me why this post is tagged with several movie titles along with photos from each, three are mentioned in the headline and only one is discussed in the three paragraphs of the post body?
Screw that murdering commie bastard!
Screw...if it was that easy to erase history; screw Bush!
Spiritof76: You could try clicking on the photos, or even going with the "NEXT >>" button if you're feeling adventurous.
And eeeverybody should love Totoro.
[5] I did try that, for several photos. Apparently, for some reason, the script wasn't working when I tried. Maybe it was a database hiccup. Gothamist was notorious for those and still has them once in a while.

Imagine children, one day an Oscar season without a Nazi movie. I shudder.
