• I've said it before, I'll say it again: this Match Point buzz is messing with me. Dave Kehr piles on:
  

  As advertised, "Match Point" is indeed Woody Allen's most interesting film in a very long time -- probably since "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989), to which "Match Point" bears a chilly resemblance. Though it's set in an imaginary London as eerily cleansed of ethnic minorities as Allen's Manhattan, this is the filmmaker in his High Nordic mode, dipping into a stream of icy misogyny that bypasses Ingmar Bergman and goes straight back to Strindberg.

  
  
• Slate tackles Watchmen and wonders if comics ever really needed "to grow up."
  ("A new edition, retitled Absolute Watchmen and published this month by DC, has drawn critical superlatives and comparisons with Pulp Fiction and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. In truth, it's more like the White Album, a fractious, blitzed masterwork. This is not a comic book that wants you to go 'Wow.' It is a comic book that wants to let the air out of your tires.")
