Russell Crowe in a gruff-and-tumble Robin Hood

Here's what you'll miss if you don't pick up a City Paper this week: FEATURES!

Shaun Brady takes the lead spot for his not-so-positive review of the umpteenth version of Robin Hood. The takeaway? "He comes off more Braveheart than Prince of Thieves."
Bruce Walsh pays a visit to abstract painter Jacqueline Cotter, who's losing her eyesight but not her vision. "She's come up with something very personal, and not all artists get to that point," says the owner of Rosenfeld Gallery, where her works are on display this month.

COLUMNS!

Robin Rice Re:Views the owners of Twelve Gates Art Gallery, which seeks to shine a light on "the Indian and Pakistani diaspora."
Peter Burwasser's Suite Spot sits back and takes a listen to a recent concert featuring Louis Andriessen's masterpiece De Staat, which "hews toward a rock sensibility."

REVIEWS!

Sam Adams gives Please Give a B- in this week's Flick Pick. Though it's unlike its "Ephron-bot" chick-lit compatriots, director Nicole Holofcener's fourth feature doesn't ask enough questions.
Mark Cofta found enough joyful moments in 1812 Productions' An Evening Without Woody Allen to get over the fact that Allen's prose is better enjoyed on the page than the stage.
Movie Shorts on The Good Heart (D), Harry Brown (B), Letters to Juliet (C) and Sweetgrass (A).

AND THEN THERE'S ...

Kaleidoscope quick hits on Everybody Was in the French Resistance ... Now!, McSweeney's litmag, Broken Social Scene and the Art Star Craft Bazaar
A+E Picks on Dr. Dog, The Lindsay Buckingham Appreciation Society, Rhymes with Opera, Laura Marling and more
An Agenda section full of treats like Icepack, a feature on Rodgers and Hammerstein are Dead, a ton of Picks, and Felicia D'Ambrosio's twice-monthly fashion column, Shopping Spree.
