Editors' Picks: Our Favorites From the Week of Nov. 44 of 8
We Are the Champions ... of the Week
Queen were always critic-proof, a band so big no scathing review could stop them. And the same can be said about Bohemian Rhapsody, which roared to the top of the U.S. box office last weekend despite mixed reviews and mountains of bad press surrounding the departures of Sacha Baron Cohen (slated to play Freddie Mercury) and director Bryan Singer (he's still credited, per DGA rules). Rhapsody's success suggests that filmgoers don't read trade publications and couldn't give a toss about critical consensus. It's not surprising; after all, five-star reviews don't fill arenas. Or movie theaters.
