...climax to claim Andromeda (Alexa Davalos), the creature looks less like Harryhausen's majestic creature from the Greek lagoon and more like Gamera, the killer turtle in a dozen Japanese B movies. There's also an odd, kinky kick to the sight of Andromeda strung up on a seaside platform like the most elegant bondage babe at Voyeur West Hollywood. But mostly this is strong, solid adventure, unsullied by the chic contempt of camp - and, despite its critics, well worth your dollars, at least for the 2-D version...

The App Store alone has piled up 150,000 offerings in the space of not quite two years, turning the iPhone into a mature mobile-gaming platform to rival Nintendo's DS. The iPad will hold that hill and erect cruelly unassailable fortifications on it.

He didn't mention Palin by name, but he did say "anger is not a platform" and condemned voices who rail "against everything without any kind of sensible policy prescription" for alternatives. Gore's remarks were typical of those by other speakers at the event, including Reid. Democrats know it won't be easy to save control of Congress - and Reid's seat - in November. But the passage of health care gives the President's party...
