It's painful to watch a movie with characters that leave you cold -- but not as painful as seeing what's happened to Nicole Kidman's face.
  • In praise of Edie Falco

    I've been watching reruns of the Sopranos lately, and have realized that its most compelling aspect to me is the amazing, apparently infinite range of facial expression of James Gandolfini and Edie Falco. Botoxification aside, there are so terribly few actors around who can communicate the underpinnings of an entire life through sheer facial muscle work. It's true talent, and truly precious. (Falco was on 30 Rock tonight; what a joy to see her again.)

    I'm hopeful that facial mutilation will go out of style really soon, because it is a crashing bore to watch!
