...moment I had to wonder: Did I set a world record for critics by seeing different films in three countries in three days? The Answer: probably not. Kevin Murphy, best known as a writer-performer on the late, great Mystery Science Theater 3000, spent the year 2001 on a world tour seeing a different film every day (and wrote up this punishing experience in a wonderfully funny, thoughtful book, A Year at the Movies).

Obsessed with its survival, the junta has dramatically expanded the military; 40% of the nation's annual budget is believed to be spent on the 450,000-strong army. Inflation is running at more than 30%. Last month's fuel hike led to a tripling of bus fares on some routes, leaving many of Rangoon's estimated 2.4 million commuters unable to afford their ride to work. The prices of basic foodstuffs like rice...
