\"Dogville\"<\/a>
\nSince I couldn’t cast my show last night, I watched “Dogville<\/strong><\/a>” instead. And I really, really liked it. So many things worked for me … the “staging” of the movie to be more like a theater piece than a conventional movie … the excellent cast of actors and actresses … the very downbeat tone of the story. “Dogville” is also further proof that Nicole Kidman is more than just a pretty face and is one of the better actresses working in Hollywood (yeah, fuck you Julia Roberts, you hack).
