...movie’s biggest strength is Troy Duffy’s aggravating personality. He alternates between bouts of cruel anger and drunken happiness, while maintaining a deathless, overconfident, holier-than-thou attitude that catalyzes his downfall. Despite his irritating tendency to say the wrong thing to just about everyone, there are elements of appealing humanity in Troy. While cringing at his painful blindness to reality, the viewer wants to smack some sense into him. Yet there is something gripping about his irate desperation and something frightening about the ease with which Troy evolves from confident and optimistic bartender...

Allegations of abduction, torture and other abuses by elements of Thai security forces have fueled Muslim resentment.

They confess to mood swings, depression, indifference to life, hypervigilance, isolation, suicidal tendencies. And all are plagued by images they can't forget, some so disturbing that combat-stress workers in the field have to monitor one another for a state known as "vicarious traumatization." A soldier deployed near Baghdad for nine months witnessed several members of his unit torn apart by mortar fire. "I can't erase that picture," he says...
...while to figurative painting. Woman I and the ferocious series of Woman canvases that followed were brutally funny emblems of male fear and desire, hellcats born not only out of ancient myth and American pop culture but also from de Kooning's personal supply of awe and anger. As Stevens and Swan make clear, throughout his life his dealings with women were heedless and narcissistic. Though he never divorced his wife Elaine--like him a painter and heavy drinker who slept around with abandon--he fathered a child by another woman, set up the occasional household with still others...
