Beeing there

After returning from his fellowship in June, Donald shifted job duties somewhat. Instead of trying to see every movie under the sun, he's splitting the beat with fellow critic Rick Bentley. That gives him more time to write about theater, dance and opera, and he'll be starting a critic-at-large column in March.

Above, Rick gives a tour of the expansive movie-review department. Right, Don Mayhew takes a break.
