...second or third film in a genre that many critics willfully ignore. If there's a nascent Stanley Kubrick or Steven Spielberg in the mix, it's still too soon to tell. But there's certainly innovative filmmaking under way that rises above the mindless slasher sequels of the '80s or such predictable teen-star killfests of the '90s as I Know What You Did Last Summer...
...substance abuse; in Orange County, Calif. The couple, whose tumultuous relationship was on display on last year's reality-TV show Being Bobby Brown, have a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 13. A six-time Grammy winner, Houston had a record seven consecutive No. 1 pop hits in the late '80s--including Saving All My Love for You and How Will I Know--but hasn't put out an album since...
...spoiled, yet lonely child’s melancholic yearning.

Updating a show often leads to a schizophrenic production of an otherwise...
Cheney: Well, Jim is a good man. He's a close friend. The President and I have a lot of confidence in him. Lee Hamilton is a good man, too. I served with Lee on the House Intelligence Committee back in the '80s. And I think they've got a good panel. My old friend Al Simpson is a member of the group. They've been doing a lot of work to study events in that part of the world, and we'll see what they produce. I haven't seen the report...
