Brotherly Love
Thanks for featuring the Jonas Brothers (''The 3 Mouseketeers'')! ''It's
about time'' EW recognized them. Their YouTube videos are hilarious.

Will Ferrell has played a basketball player, an ice-skater, and a NASCAR
driver (''A Man for All Seasons''). What's next: a hedge clipper?

Tainted Memory
In your Spring Movie Preview, you say that The Grand — costarring Grizzly Man director Werner Herzog — has ''gotta be funnier than watching a guy
being eaten by a bear.'' Since the subject of Grizzly Man and his
girlfriend lost their lives, printing this was beyond insensitive.

'Wulf Pack
Your review of Beowulf calls Robert Zemeckis a ''deluded baby boomer'' for
believing that students are still reading the poem (DVD). Not only is
Seamus Heaney's beautiful translation on my syllabus, but I had students
who went on to select John Gardner's Grendel for their book club.

Personal 'Jesus'
Thanks for making Nick Lowe's Jesus of Cool an EW Pick (Music). It was a
delicious irony that this tour de force was reissued on the same day
Fidel Castro announced he was stepping down. Among the CD's
unforgettable songs is ''Nutted by Reality,'' a lyrical twist about
castrating Castro. I'm glad you gave one of my musical heroes his due.

The Full Monty
You may think Clay Aiken's performance in Spamalot is ''tentative,'' but I
laughed my head off (Stage). His character, Sir Robin, is afraid of his
own shadow — of course he's going to seem tentative!

'Word' to the Wise
Calling The L Word ''soft-core porn'' is unfair (Television). Many shows
with heterosexual romances use graphic material to win viewers but don't
get labeled as such. Lesbian relationships aren't just male-fantasy
fodder.

CORRECTION
We misspelled the last name of The Hills costar Audrina Patridge
(Style).
