...film so beautifully bizarre it might be the first Martian-arts movie). The elements of his visual style: nightscapes (bars, beds, jukeboxes); sulky boys in white shirts; anomie punctuated by awful violence; murky lighting, as if scenes had been shot underwater and daubed with squid ink; and--Wong's trademark trope--pixilated slow motion that gives every fight end-of-the-world import and makes even the moping of a fast-food girl look majestic...
While Alexander struggled last week to duck the "liberal" label, another danger lurked: that his smooth, smiling, political persona would remind voters too much of that other former Southern Governor now sitting in the White House. The trademark red-and-black plaid shirt, which seemed fresh 18 years ago, now seems to some voters to be as contrived as some of Alexander's new political positions.

Same face, different race. The familiar, popular pitchman for STP, Pepsi and Goody's headache powders has thrown his trademark cowboy hat into the political ring--to pitch himself for North Carolina secretary of state.

"The cease-fire in England is definitely over," says Time's Barry Hillenbrand. "If the terror campaign does not work...
These two EPs are far from identical. Twinlights, the first, is almost totally organic. The group's trademark musical sound, the eerie, echoing swirl of Robin Guthrie's distorted guitars, is replaced with fragile picking on an acoustic guitar. Though the occasional soft chime of a synthesizer filters in, the tone is a far cry from the abrasive synth of their first few albums. "Half-Gifts," the final track, even features a four-part string section...
