FILM

This week's trailers:
HONEY
LOVE DON'T COST A THING
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE

Worth the Trip: Czech horror and fantasy at the Museum of Fine Arts December 11 through 21.

THEATER

Bill Rodriguez says the operetta, Accidental Nostalgia, breezes by like a page-turner at the beach.

Who doesn't love leftovers? Man, Woman, Chaos, a cabaret song fest by Pitts-Wiley and Robert Schleeter, takes songs that didn't quite fit in their other plays and turns them into a harmonious collaboration.

Worth the Trip:
Snow in June at the Loeb Drama Center

DANCE

Worth the Trip:
The Nutcracker at the Boston Ballet.


ART

Paula Martesian, local artist, really stopped to smell the flowers before painting her vibrant collection of paintings now showing at the Newport Art Museum. By Bill Rodriguez.

BOOKS

TELEVISION

Hot dots: Wednesday, 9:00 (44) A Christmas Carol. A modern 2000 ITV version of the classic tale with Ross Kemp (star of the Brit soap East Enders) as a loan shark named E. Scrooge.

FOOD
