" duet for one , " based on the play by tom kempinski , was directed by andrei konchalovsky , the russian exile whose previous two films were " maria ' s lovers " and " runaway train . " there is a strength and a mysticism in his work that is always compelling , even when the stories seem untidy . " duet for one " is a flawed movie , but it has moments that really touch what it means to know that your soul still sings but your body has abandoned you .

" duet for one " at the back alley theatre is a curiously satisfying evening . it doesn ' t quite deliver as a story , but , in a way , one appreciates that : it ' s part of the play ' s honesty toward some very painful material . what counts is the feeling of having lived two hours with two remarkable people .

" duet for one " ( at the music hall ) was a high risk going in . there have been so many tv movies about fatal maladies that the genre is now known uncharitably as " disease of the week .

i watched the scene from " duet for one " with mounting anger and frustration . the film , starring julie andrews as a prominent concert violinist stricken by multiple sclerosis , was one i had been eagerly awaiting . i have ms myself and already had seen the play , but what i was watching bore little resemblance to the play - - or to reality :

one thing that bothered me is something that i can only talk about in another hidden spoiler section .

this is definitely one of the best books i ' ve ever read , 6 / 5 stars .

fans of harry and ed have been speculating about the possible duet on twitter , so don ' t give up hope . . . yet .

this moment also leaned heavily on one of the flash’s most reliable strengths : emotional dads . martin is famous for delivering what he likes to call “joe - ments” : the moment in any given flash episode where joe west’s soft - hearted parenting will jerk the tears right out the audience . in “duet , ” they went for a triple whammy of father figures . it’s almost unfair .

that is the story that " duet for one " should have told . from what i ' ve seen , it ' s not the story the audience gets . the phony idea that andrews is dying necessarily distorts every scene , turning genuine ms problems like shaking hands and dropped objects into mere cliches of an overworked genre .

as a writer , i know how hard it can be to remain factually correct while meeting dramatic requirements . we ' re not talking about some minor error , however . the misrepresentation in " duet for one " goes to the very heart of the story . mistakes of that magnitude undermine the artistic integrity of a work .

it ' s a hat trick for mcqueen ! kate repeats the look she chose for george and charlotte ' s christenings in . . .

konchalovsky ' s high - toned approach is fitting for chekhov , but " duet for one " ( rated r for sex , nudity and language ) is closer to olive higgins prouty . indeed , it would probably play better as a period piece , because its occasional coarse talk and strenuous attempts to be trendy clash with the melodramatic yet genteel genre to which it inescapably belongs . you ' re left wishing julie andrews got to run the gamut in more rewarding circumstances .

what the finale lacks in the dark , destructive passion of buffy and spike’s closing kiss from “once more with feeling , ” it makes up for in an earned payoff for a long - in - the - making love story . is “duet” as good an episode of tv as that famous all - singing hour of buffy ? maybe not . but given the level of talent , it’s a better musical —and one that will have both flash and musical fans clamoring for a sequel .

but self - conscious wills had earlier requested ellie speed on “to a faster one so others can join in” .

the early reports of julie andrews ' performance in the film version made me even more eager to see it . assuming it gets to an accessible theater , maybe i still will . be that as it may , however , a careless disregard for the facts along with insensitivity in selecting a theater for exclusive exhibition rights have turned " duet for one " into a tragedy of crass indifference . the moviegoing public - - both handicapped and able - bodied - - deserves better than that .

if " duet for one " were wholly true to the spirit of the scenes with neeson , it would be a great movie , touching the anger with which we all cry out against the fate of death . those scenes are painful but very honest . they are messy , and not very nice , and not uplifting , but they reflect exactly what dylan thomas meant when he advised us to " rage , rage against the dying of the light . " unfortunately , some of the other material in the movie is less focused . maybe there are too many characters . maybe the screenplay has not been pared of everything that was not really necessary .

that position contributed to a nasty feud between mr . trump and former scottish nationalist leader alex salmond , who earlier this year questioned the size of mr . trump ’s promised investments in the country . in response , mr . trump labeled mr . salmond “an embarrassment , ” citing the scottish nationalist leader’s 2009 decision to release abdelbaset al - megrahi , a libyan convicted for his role in the lockerbie bombing . al - megrahi was said to be suffering from terminal cancer , but would live nearly three years after his release .

the senior official said mr . bush often remarked that he gained “strength and comfort” from the encounters . but war critics say the sessions amount to little more than echo chambers to reinforce mr . bush’s views . charley richardson , a founder of military families speak out , which opposes the war , said about 100 families who had lost loved ones were members of his group , but just one , ms . johnson , had met mr . bush .

as a made - for - nickelodeon movie , mr . troop mom is a comedy that pulls out the stops for laughs from its tween audience . eddie serrano ( george lopez ) is the widowed dad of naomi ( daniela bobadilla ) , and his focus on work instead of family has let naomi run the roost at home . a series of unfortunate events puts eddie in charge of his daughter ' s four - person team at a multi - day mountain camp competition , " the spring classic .

yet , white house aides and nine families who have met with mr . bush said dissent was rare in the sessions . the meetings are deeply private — the administration never reveals names of participants — and just one senior official attends , to take notes .

“he’s not just here to look at his golf course , he’s here to drum up votes in his election , ” said mr . ryan . “we think , rather than just sitting back and saying nothing , that it’s right for us to protest . ”

meanwhile , ash ' s mom marie is a former lingerie model who has appeared in her fair share of racy catalogs . ash notes that trying on bras would be awkward enough even if there wasn ' t a large poster of her topless mother hanging in the fitting room . she ' s also prone to embarrassing questions .

that official , who would speak only anonymously , said the “overwhelming number of families talk about the good their loved one felt they were doing . ” this official said families were not screened ; when mr . bush is traveling , the pentagon finds local families for him to meet . and not all the meetings are cordial ; in 2004 , one mother , cindy sheehan , met with mr . bush and later complained that he had been dismissive of her . she went on to start a political crusade against the war . other family members have expressed discontent , including elaine johnson of spartanburg , s . c . , who said she asked mr . bush in her meeting why soldiers like her son , darius jennings , were still dying in iraq . she subsequently began speaking out against the war .

over and over again , the fundamental theorem of war—that one is sacrificed to save many—is examined . when the squad encounters a downed pilot whose troop transport crashed , killing 22 men , because his plane had been made unflyable by the steel plates added to its belly to protect from ground fire a brigadier general on board , everyone understands that to risk the safety of many to protect one ( even if he is a general ) is wrong and , in war , always dangerous .

the reception stands in stark contrast to when then - presidential candidate barack obama journeyed to europe prior to his election in 2008 . mr . obama encountered vast , wildly cheering crowds who embraced his pledge to improve ties with european partners following the sometimes - rocky relationship under president george w . bush .

“what’s happening ? where are we going ? ” asks elliot alderson , hacker extraordinaire and one - half of the personality known as mr . robot . he’s sitting in the backseat of a convertible with his sister , darlene , who’s playing a video game in which elliot is being beaten up by mobsters . everyone in the car—darlene , elliot’s mom , his dead dad—cracks jokes about cancer and domestic abuse and despair , while canned laughter swells around them . there’s someone in the trunk , yelling . there’s a cameo by alf . someone is casually , graphically , murdered . elliot can do little but look around wildly as the absurdity of his ’80s sitcom nightmare grows and grows .

earlier this year , british lawmakers proposed banning him from the country following his call to prohibit muslims temporarily from entering the u . s . because of security concerns . at the same time , then - scottish first minister nicola sturgeon stripped mr . trump of his status as an honorary global ambassador for the country .

judge : young man , this is your third offense . i ' m afraid i ' m going to have to give you the maximum sentence . youthful defendant : no ! not . . . judge : yes . i ' m going to ask your mom to get up here on the court karaoke machine and sing " copacabana " . youthful defendant : no ! send me to prison ! please ! !

mr . robot ’s second season has regularly offered lines that serve as obvious meta - commentary . so it’s no surprise that elliot’s questions from wednesday’s bizarre fifth episode , “eps2 . 4 _ m4ster - slave . aes , ” pretty neatly capture what was so spectacular about the show’s first season , and why the second has so far been an overwrought jumble . last year , mr . robot regularly prompted viewers to ask themselves , “what’s happening ? where are we going ? ” but it was in the spirit of excitement , of willing to be swept away by the creator sam esmail’s mesmerizing directing , elliot’s genius and foibles , and ambitious storytelling . wondering the same in season two has felt much less satisfying ; the questions often feel borne of confusion and frustration and boredom , rather than curiosity or suspense . at the halfway mark of its second season , mr . robot has unfortunately succumbed to so many of the mistakes that it elegantly avoided last year—narrative sprawl , unchecked pretentiousness , and a lack of momentum and cohesiveness .

the irish leg of the trip is also up in the air after the trump campaign this week released an itinerary for his traveling press corps that only listed a two - day stop in ireland . the campaign told the belfast telegraph wednesday the schedule is still being worked on , and mr . trump hopes to include the trip if possible .

parents need to know that the central character ' s mom is dead , and her father is so busy with his work that a babysitter plays the parent role at first . a dramatic accident looks bad but turns out to be a side note . kids are teased by adults for not being able to swim . some people may take offense at the stereotypes ( funny accent , karate moves ) attributed to the asian babysitter .

such formal and tonal experimentation can be hard to come by on tv , especially on basic cable ( though the likes of fx are changing that ) , so on some level esmail and usa deserve credit for breaking with formula so imaginatively . but the scene also distills the kinds of excesses mr . robot has been especially prone to this season . last year , the show displayed a knack for teasing out new mysteries and subplots while putting old ones to rest , all while pursuing its main thread : f society’s attempt to take down e corp . this year has been filled with so many apparent digressions ( the seventh seal - esque chess match , countless philosophy 101 soliloquies about the nature of reality and truth , joanna wellick’s romantic life , whiterose’s sartorial interests ) , that it’s often unclear what kind of a story mr . robot wants to tell anymore . rather than resolving some mysteries from season one ( where is tyrell ? ) the show is simply offering answers to questions few people were asking ( “who exactly thought of the name ‘mr . robot’ ? ” )

" don ' t forget to change your " " alright , mom ! jeez ! " done regardless of who ( friends , neighbors ) or what ( television cameras ) is nearby , either . in the english dub , delia is reminding ash to change his underwear . in the original japanese , she ' s reminding him to brush his teeth . the english dub exaggerated this as it has delia embarrassing ash more than she originally did .

“ donald trump aspires to lead the free world , but his run for the white house has been rooted in ignorance and intolerance , ” said hafiz ghafoor , a local mosque leader in the scottish capital . “before he makes another inflammatory speech , mr . trump should learn more about the muslims that he offends almost every time he opens his mouth . ”

cosmo and wanda spend the night at chloe ' s , disguised as flightless booby birds . but when chloe ' s parents decide to return the boobies to their natural habitat in the rainforest , timmy and chloe have to go and save them . however , things get worse after mr . crocker decides to poach them . debut appearance : connie carmichael , clark carmichael

to see to it that they are , mr . bush often plays the role of social worker in his family meetings , asking participants about issues like benefits and health care . mrs . storey said the president “seemed to get really upset” when she told him she was not getting her survivor’s benefits . within a week , she said , “the checks began showing up . ”

“we have to oppose trump and show that he is not the international statesman he likes to pretend he is , ” said jonathon shafi , a human rights activist organizing the scottish protests and who lives near mr . trump ’s luxury development in glasgow . “he flaunts his scottish roots and heritage , but his politics [ have ] nothing in common with the values of the scottish people . ”

one episode of yokai watch has nate trying to avoid his friends seeing him going grocery shopping with his mother . there ' s nothing really embarrassing about that , though nate is a child so his overreaction is understandable . the really embarrassing part is when nate ' s mom starts talking about his underwear in front of his friends ( including his crush katie ) . she mentions that he needs new ones because his old ones are full of holes . this causes nate to collapse from embarrassment .

on june 22 mr . trump , who has scottish ancestry , plans to touch down here to mark the official reopening of the luxury turnberry golf resort he has been redeveloping at a reported investment of $ 285 million . he is tentatively scheduled to fly on to ireland to check on another of his golf resort investments , although new reports this week cast some doubt on whether that part of the trip will come off .

it has been nearly six months since their meeting , and sometimes mrs . storey still finds it hard to believe that the simple act of writing a letter brought her into the presence of the president of the united states . she still has the photographs from the session , the letters she and mr . bush exchanged . living in the heavily democratic state of massachusetts , she said , it is not easy to be a bush supporter .

for american voters , the trip — mr . trump ’s first outside the country since winning the mantle of presumptive republican nominee — could provide a sneak preview into the kind of reception a president trump will receive if the billionaire developer and reality - tv star triumphs in november . with a sizable u . s . press contingent already signed up for the trip , the locals in both countries are debating how hospitable to be to the visitor from america .

the storeys , of palmer , mass . , joined a growing list of bereaved families granted a private audience with the commander in chief . as mr . bush forges ahead with the war in iraq , these “families of the fallen , ” as the white house calls them , are one constituency he can still count on , a powerful reminder to an unpopular president that even in the face of heartbreaking loss , some still believe he is doing the right thing .

happens at least once , and more likely multiple times , to kevin in the wonder years . most memorably , his mother took him to the mall shopping for clothes and had him try on a new pair of jeans , right as some kids he knew from school happened to be walking by . after he steps out of the dressing room , kevin ' s mom conducts an up close and personal inspection . trumpeting for all to hear that the jeans " need more room in the crotch " . in his embarrassment , he imagines hearing that announced over the store ' s pa .

on the day of the emancipation proclamation , jane ' s master frees them all . on the same day , jane leaves the plantation with a group of ex - slaves . they have no idea where they are going , but a woman named big laura leads the way . jane wants to go to ohio to find corporal brown . the first morning away , a group of " patrollers , " local white trash who used to hunt slaves , comes upon them and kills everyone but jane and a very young boy ned , whom they did not find . jane and ned then continue on their own , still headed for ohio . they meet many characters on their trip , all of whom tell jane that ohio is too far and that she should go back to her plantation . jane ' s obstinacy persists for a few weeks until she and ned are completely exhausted from walking . finally they catch a ride with a poor white man named job who lets them sleep at his house and takes them the next day to a plantation run by mr . bone . mr . bone offers jane a job , but only pays her the reduced rate of six dollars a month ( minus fifty cents for ned ' s schooling ) because she is so young . jane and ned get a cabin and after one month on the job , mr . bone raises her pay to ten dollars because she is doing as much work as the other women .

as in scotland , the irish government had welcomed mr . trump ’s investment when he bought out a luxury golf development on the country’s wild atlantic coast to add to his profitable portfolio of high - end resorts . with enthusiastic support from irish economic development officials , he purchased the seaside doonbeg resort in county clare for about $ 14 million and pledged to invest another $ 60 million - plus into a major upgrade of the property . the property has been re - christened the trump international golf links & hotel ireland .

perhaps all of mr . robot ’s current woes wouldn’t feel so disappointing if it hadn’t already proven that it could execute on its peculiar premise . the show didn’t need to reinvent or outdo itself—it simply needed to follow through on the new and interesting threads it set up in the first - season finale . but it did need , above all , consistency . it has that on at least one front : malek’s performance , which continues to carry the show even in its weaker moments . the rest of the cast has been strong too , particularly portia doubleday as angela ( easily the best character by the end of last season ) . there are likely many fans who feel esmail has earned enough goodwill that he deserves our patience for the rest of the season . and there’s still a good chance that the final six episodes will justify the excruciatingly slow build up and thematic muddle . when mr . robot tells a dreaming elliot in the most recent episode , “this is temporary ; we always did have a destination , ” it’s one of those moments where you hope that he’s right .

movie , she does a clumsy cheerleader routine , while cheering for gohan to fight at the tournament , obviously embarrassing him . also , in a filler episode called " he ' s always late " , when she ' s dancing , trunks remarks " your mom ' s obviously as cool as your outfit , goten . " goten them asks gohan if he thinks her ( chi - chi ' s ) outfit is cool . gohan couldn ' t give a straight answer , as he was embarrassed . then again , in chi - chi ' s defense , she was raised in seclusion , so she probably lacks good social skills and probably doesn ' t know she ' s being embarrassing .

momanela : [ mr . game & watch ] would make a good tattoo . where would you put that ? okay , where would you put that tattoo , on your body ? i ' d like to know . tell me right now ; time is ticking . let me know . masae : my . . . my shoulder . momanela : [ disappointed sigh ] masae : what ? momanela : okay , go on . masae : what ? momanela : right here , by your right - masae : no ! momanela : you know , right above your - masae : no ! anyway , what number was that again , sorry ? momanela : even the lip of your - masae : no !

it doesn’t help that for much of season two , characters were so scattered that their storylines rarely intersected in meaningful ways . only recently have a few converged : angela and darlene are now working to hack the fbi in order to hide their involvement in the downfalls of allsafe and e corp . elliot is helping out as best as he can when he’s not engaged in various existential and ontological struggles . the fbi agent dom dipierro ( grace gummer ) is digging around in angela’s business . when characters do meet , their dialogue often borders on overwritten ( see : any mr . robot screed ) or just plain goofy ( “control is about as real as a one - legged unicorn taking a leak at the end of a double rainbow . ” )

nearly every commentator criticized this prologue and epilogue . janet maslin conceded that these scenes are among the film ' s " few false notes . " others derided this opening and closing as " maudlin , " " completely unnecessary , " and " a burst of schmaltzy ritual . " in fact , most writers simply ignored the prologue . anthony lane , for example , writing in the new yorker , described the first half - hour of the film as " the most telling battle scenes ever made " without bothering to note that one must first wade through five minutes of schmaltz to get to omaha beach . ( later in his essay , mr . lane did make quite clear that he had no patience for spielberg ' s " sappy epilogue . " )

all of which is to say that , right now , mr . robot is at risk of being remembered as one of those shows with a stellar first season that couldn’t quite keep the magic for season two . notable examples include unreal , true detective , twin peaks , and the walking dead ( which eventually regained its footing for a while ) . each of these shows had significant behind - the - scenes changes between seasons that affected what eventually went up on screen , whether it was showrunner departures , network interference , or not enough network interference . usa took a big , but reasonable risk letting esmail serve as the director and showrunner for the entire season . this has led to virtuoso scenes like elliot’s adderall high and the house of technological horrors but , oddly , not to a cohesive overall vision .

life on mr . bone ' s plantation initially is good with a colored schoolteacher and a political scene still monitored by republicans from the north . then the original owner of the plantation , colonel dye , buys it back ( with money borrowed from yankees ) . life reverts back to almost how it was before slavery , with segregation and violence against blacks who step out of line . the blacks start fleeing north because of the worsening conditions . initially the whites do not care , but soon they try to stop the flight . ned , who is now almost seventeen , joins a committee that helps blacks leave . colonel dye warns jane that ned must stop , but when he will not , ku klux klan members arrive at jane ' s house . ned is not home when they come and is able to flee the plantation later that night . jane does not want to leave her secure life , so they separate with sadness . ned goes to kansas , gets an education , and eventually joins the u . s . army to fight in cuba . jane soon marries joe pittman ( without an official ceremony ) . despite colonel dye ' s attempts to keep them , joe and jane soon move to a ranch near the texas - louisiana border where joe has found a job breaking horses .

anderson’s generational barbs generally lack anger , which is what makes the darker undertones of moonrise kingdom surprising . the typical pattern of his movies involves conflict between older and younger characters that dissolves into rapprochement . the royal tenenbaums provides the most obvious example of this , but even bottle rocket , which at first glance appears to be an exception , succumbs to this logic : at the end of the movie , dignan has “no hard feelings” toward mr . henry after his betrayal , and bob is re - establishing family ties with his jerk older brother future man ( andrew wilson ) , who has been bullying him relentlessly throughout the movie . moonrise kingdom intriguingly mixes a little more strychnine into the sugar bowl , in the sense that suzy’s relationship with her parents never truly unfreezes . as link notes in his review of the movie , moonrise kingdom offers more than “a polite and ultimately benevolent act of generational warfare , ” since when suzy says she hates her mother , she “really means what she says . ” when the movie leaves its protagonists , they’re still sneaking around . sam exits the bishop home via a window , while the camera catches suzy pausing in a doorway , hesitating and glancing out at something very briefly—some hatch from which to escape ? a family member to confront ? a hypothetical observer to challenge ? —and then walks out of her preadolescence .
