...That's the height of the hilarity on offer here, and it's not hard to see where the writer, Dana Fox, and the director, Tom Vaughan, went wrong.

There remains a small slightly doddering crowd that's up for small, well-written comedies like Helen Hunt's Then She Found Me, which is currently playing in a release that will remain forever limited to older people who are not afraid to visit the "art" houses Mass market comedy (unless Judd Apatow...
Michael Eric Dyson's article spells out with exquisite precision the fundamental disjunct between two communities highlighted in the recent flap over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright [May 5].

But in one of the 27 halls, where intricately carved Sumerian wall panels depicting...
...people, in other words, should not impede efforts to codify the primacy of the generals. At a time when Burma's rice growing regions - which once made it the world's top rice producer - have been devastated leaving its people starving for the staple, the junta seems determined to remain the world's number one producer and consumer of barbed wire - literally and figuratively. The people are cowed. They utilize hushed tones when speaking to foreigners, take furtive glances over their shoulders, all part of the fearful obedience that keeps them calibrated to the crackdown they know to expect...
