With 58 screens in 10 locations around Paris playing everything from Swiss documentaries to The Hulk, MK2 has fans among cinephiles and general moviegoers alike. Founder Marin Karmitz, 64, started his first cinema in 1974, near the Bastille. "I felt the time had come to approach cinema differently," says the Romanian émigré.

Juno Mak, who appeared numerous times on Jade Solid Gold, won one TVB award this year despite a decidedly hostile reaction from the award ceremony's in-house audience. TVB declined to comment to TIME, but according to local reports, the network is considering changing the way it selects performers for the music-chart show...
...testing drivers after a specified age or health diagnosis should be mandatory. Part of that testing should be reaction-time-based (developed by physicists) and really show how dangerous a driver can be, especially to him/herself. Should independence for one person cost the life of another human being? Driving is a privilege, not a right. Be responsible. Mary Causey Pittsburgh...
