It's a truly scary scenario, in which acolytes of monsters as different as Timothy McVeigh and Osama Bin Laden engage in a kind of terrorism Olympics with innocent New Yorkers as their cannon fodder...
...laced with "a lot of foreshadowing and dramatic irony," as Harris put it. There was that poem he wrote, imagining himself as a bullet.

It may seem weird, but it has a long tradition: in November the American Museum of Natural History in New York City will present "Body Art: Marks of Identity," an exhibition surveying 4,000 years...
...critically acclaimed releases, are by former film-lab fellows Walter Salles and Tony Bui. The Wood, a coming-of-age story about three African Americans by Rick Famuyiwa, is due out this week. The list of Sundance students over the years is long and impressive. It includes Quentin Tarantino, Julie Taymor, Paul Thomas Anderson, Sherman Alexie and Anna Deavere Smith. So when you watch 25-year-old Princess Peter-Raboff, an Alaska native and member of the Venetie Indian Reservation, shoot one of her first ever scenes with award-winning Hungarian director Gyula Gazdag offering pointers and encouragement...
