Can anyone objectively review films made by those who might employ him? "I?m not going to sugarcoat my reviews," McWeeny avers. But they are already pretty sweet. In his last five columns, he reviewed five films, a TV cartoon and a website. The verdicts: six raves ("Ocean?s Eleven," the "American Werewolf in London site, "The Others," "El Celo," "Heart of the Warrior" and TV?s "Samurai Jack") and one fave (a few reservations within a positive...
...chopsticks restaurant in salalah, the capital of the Omani province of Dhofar, is no longer open, its "passable" food and "awful" service (as one unsympathetic guidebook had it) now just a sweet-and-sour memory.

...Siam shopping mall, bordered by Triphet, Burapa and Charoen Krung in west Chinatown. Women in traditional Thai dress use original recipes and equipment to create popular standards such as khanom krob (coconut milk batter poured into tiny cast-iron molds and steamed), khanom beung (taco-like shells with sweet and savory fillings) and khanom thuay (tapioca flour and coconut milk steamed in porcelain cups). Just about everything is $1 or less. The mall is also a good option for those shopping for a picnic on the grounds of a temple or a lazy boat trip up the arterial Chao Phraya...
...Pablo Picasso how to play Chinese checkers. Her specialty was miniature still lifes, usually just a few inches wide. DIED. LEON WILKESON, 49, bassist and founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the 1970s U.S. rock band that sold 35 million albums and is best known for its songs Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama; in his sleep, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Wilkeson survived the 1977 plane crash that killed three members of the group. He and the remaining members reformed the band in 1987 and were in the midst of a U.S. tour. RETIRED. MICHAEL FLATLEY, 42, the flashy and temperamental...
