...encompasses the content for mighty subindustries, including games, cartoons for television and cable, live-action special-effects films, commercials and - the latest frontier - mobile phones. Asian countries have distinct advantages in the business, in addition to relatively cheap labor. Many governments offer special tax provisions and investment incentives to attract Western studios. In South Korea, animation studios have enjoyed low-interest loans, tax breaks and infrastructure support since 1994, when the government changed animation's status from a service industry to a manufacturing one. Indian studios specializing in outsourced digital content are treated to the same tax benefits...
...immediate question is whether Apocalypto can repeat The Passion's success. After all, devout Christians willing to sit through Latin and Aramaic dialogue to see Christ crucified vastly outnumber Maya scholars. Gibson seems certain that the film's "kinetic energy" will make Maya language and culture "cool" enough to attract a crowd.

Helgen ’08, the events director for the Dems. “Our party has a lot of depth—our events show that,” she said. The Dems hosted a military information session earlier this year...
...2004’s “i”) that alternately charm and annoy the critics. Still, this album has a lot to unpack. Director Chen Shi-Zheng, Merritt’s theatrical collaborator, builds his drama on age-old stories that, like a puzzle, simultaneously attract and deflect the audience. Unsurprisingly, the plays are all built on somewhat macabre premises: “The Orphan of Zhao” dramatizes the historic massacre of the Zhao family; “Peach Blossom Fan” is titled after the story’s central, blood-stained symbol...
