Adieu, old chap: Despite his exhaustion, Clinton was in a good mood at this, his last G-8, and often could be seen joking and laughing with his colleagues, with some of whom, like Britain's Tony Blair, France's Jacques Chirac and Germany's Gerhard Schroeder, he's developed close relations over the years. During the traditional "family portrait" of the group, Clinton joked, "This is my last photo, so be serious, do this right." Blair said all the leaders would "miss him greatly," and in an apparent allusion to the President's scandal and impeachment woes, spoke...
Deserted by her boyfriend in a Wal-Mart parking lot, the pregnant Novalee Nation (Natalie Portman) takes up residence in the store, where she has her baby. In short order she makes friends (Stockard Channing, Ashley Judd), gets a life (as a photographer) and meets a decent chap (James Frain) she slowly learns to love. To say that Heart is a fable of feminist empowerment is to understate a very sentimental case. But the film is well played, particularly by Portman and Judd (who can't stop having babies), and you may find yourself, against all common sense, surrendering...

For any of you who've had the pleasure of tasting Singaporean food, you'll recognize that it's a food borne of a culture that does not waste, where some of the greatest culinary pleasures, such as kway chap (flat noodles with pig's stomach and intestines) and fish-head curry (self-explanatory), come from scraps. I am struck by the American aversion to eating internal organs or to dishes which too closely resemble the animal that bore them. It sometimes strikes me as disguised snobbery. Land of plenty...
...watery baptism. Raban brings along the outdoor experience found in his successful Bad Lands as he embarks on a solitary journey along the Inside Passage, a route that starts from the yuppie lakefront properties of Puget Sound and winds through an archipelago up to Juneau, Alaska. Raban, a British chap from Seattle, desires to "meditate on the sea, at the sea." Rather than dealing with dangerous sharks and storms, Raban spends more time drinking champagne and maintaining his classic book collection aboard his cozy, quite luxurious vessel. Nothing particularly shocking or dramatic happens to him at sea, but nevertheless Raban...
