POSTMAN, THE | IL POSTINO
starstarstarstar
In 1952, exiled Chilean poet Pablo Neruda traveled to Europe where a nervous, deeply anti-Marxist Italian government tried to kick him out, eventually depositing him on the isle of Capri. That a famous Communist should have found himself living in a rich man's villa, learning about life from the "simplest people in the world," is the arch conceit underlying this finely wrought film. Philippe Noiret stars as Neruda; Massimo Troisi, who died shortly after filming was completed, plays the postman whom the poet befriends. Read the complete review for The Postman

Olympics: Women's Figure Skating...

Olympics: Women's Figure SkatingForget about the Shani-nigans of the speed-skating feud, Lindsey Jacobellis' fall from grace and Bode's disappointing body of work. Figure skating is the premiere event of the Winter Games, even without Jillian Barberie and Todd Bridges. And last night's free skate presented Sasha Cohen with the chance to become America's next golden girl.   The night's memorable moments: Kiira Korpi, Finland: Why do I have a feeling we'll be seeing this girl in Maxim sometime soon? In the words of Dick Button, "My goodness!" Extra hot points for skating to "Fever." Yelena Sokolova, Russia: Redeems herself from Tuesday's short program, when she had a Chernobyl-size meltdown. Why is it that all Russian skaters and gymnasts look like '80s New Jersey mall chicks? Liu Yan read more
