http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/this_weekend_at_the_3 The hotly anticipated film adaptation of Alan Bennett's The History Boys is here, complete with sexy boys (and one fat one), skinny ties (and one bow one), and a soundtrack full of New Wave classics (and two quavery renditions of "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered"). Performance editor Brendan Kiley makes the audacious claim that "the best movie of the year is actually a play." How very heterosexual of you, Brendan.
