"Mamma Mia!"

Pierce Brosnan sings! Meryl Streep dances! Can't you hear ABBA's "SOS"?

    Since We're Taking Potshots...

    "Batman Begins" was a turgid mess of bronzy pretentiousness topped off with killer steam. None of the previews made me want to see "The Dark Knight", and I found Heath Ledger's Joker to be flat and boring. Score two for Stephanie. I'm sure "Mamma Mia" will be cinematic Spam, and putting a stage director on a movie set is usually a recipe for disaster.

    I guess the sheer number of annoyed letters here and in the Batman review are part of the selection bias: if you agreed with the review, you're not gonna post an angry screed, are you?
