...motion-comic adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen. Yet N. has been specifically constructed to appeal to the short attention spans of cell phone and Web users. Images are drawn and inked by Marvel Comics artists with voiceover talent provided by Simon and Schuster Audio. The result is a kind of animated audiobook - and a big advertisement for the upcoming story collection, with a prominent link to pre-order the book on the website...
...shocking 2.9% fall in German manufacturing orders in June. The country, fuelled by a booming market for its exports, has lately helped drive growth in the 15 nations that use the euro.

Or with his conviction that the result of this conflict can only be the terrible muddle that finally elbows aside the previously preoccupying sexual shambles. That's especially true of The Dying Animal, when mortality settles on the wrong person at the wrong time. There are things wrong with Coixet's movie.
