By Daniel Longino · Monday, Feb. 23, 2004

Mel Gibson's latest film, "The Passion of the Christ," has caused quite a stir since it first caught the attention of the Anti-Defamation League last June. Gibson's film, which he financed with nearly $30 million of his own money, will be released on Wednesday, the beginning of the Christian holy season of Lent.

Festival of France affair flops

By Noah Epstein · Monday, Feb. 23, 2004

The Kennedy Center, as part of a special two-month "Festival of France," presents the American debut of "Les Sublimes" by Compagnie Hendrick van der Zee. With Guy Alloucherie as the artistic director, and person whose life the narrative is based on, this French production unintentionally raises an important question: How experimental can a show get before it no longer is art? After enduring "Les Sublimes," the answer to that question is quite a lot.

I believe that we should vote for Will Mount

By Julia Mendelson · Monday, Feb. 23, 2004

Columnist Julia Mendelson believes that the line between a joke and a serious statement is so blurred that sometimes the slightest hiccup can cause cold facts to give headaches when least expected. Nothing compares to the common cold of politics and the very same headaches that can accompany it.

Men in the fashion world: Dapper is as dapper does

By Dwaun Sellers | February 23

Throughout history, women may have been credited for sparking trends, but it's typically men who are the driving force behind the designs. Major fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel, Burberry, Dior, Gucci and countless others are currently headed by men. So it's baffling why the average man is not targeted more in terms of fashion advertisements and magazines.

'Straight Plan' rips off 'Queer Eye'

By Michael Vallebuona | February 23

Comedy Central's "Straight Plan for the Gay Man" might have seemed like a good idea on paper. Its concept is an obvious and inevitable rip-off of Bravo's "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy": A fraternity of straight comedians - the so-called "Flab Four" - help a gay man achieve his dream of becoming a pot-bellied, beer-guzzling booty worshiper.

Film: 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen'

By Emily Zemler | February 19

Since her first pairing with Disney for the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap," Lindsay Lohan's sassy style has graced the screen for several rather enjoyable family films. Last summer's remake of "Freaky Friday," which set Lohan opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, was remarkably well acted and a refreshing oasis in an otherwise dry season of movies. "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" differs from Lohan's previous two films in that she is no longer supported by well-respected, top-notch actors; now Lohan is billed as the star.

Music: Brit rockers unleash 'Cast of Thousands'

By Sarah Reed | February 19

There are some Anglophiles, like yours truly, who feel that Radiohead's "OK Computer" should be mass-mailed to every American. Others find it too eccentric, preferring to stick to more Brit-rock artists like Oasis and early Blur. However, in recent years, new British groups have culled from both styles to create a sort of "dream-pop indie" genre, with Elbow's sophomore release "Cast of Thousands" fitting neatly into the lot.
