Media Watch: Bollywood movies are good on winter nights, even if they may be bonehead comedies -- Sanjay Duit or Madhuri Dixit are excellent in almost any role. Last weekend there was an ambitious opera by Prokofiev based on War and Peace. Darn thing lasted for most of four hours! This week it was the lackluster Hansel & Gretel by Engelbert Humperdink -- not the English lounge-lizard crooner, but the German composer.
