...races no actual car was used; these magnificent set pieces are almost totally animated. The races aren't just 200 miles of left turns; the tracks are designed as crazy theme-park rides, with 360 loops, chasm-wide broken tracks, roads that wind around mountains and across rivers. The autos skid sideways and fly over other cars on stilts. In a reference to the Ben-Hur chariot race, they brandish hubcap spear hooks to disable their opponent's vehicle. And, since the rallies take place in Virtual World, there's no fretting about the waste of fuel. All of Speed...
...this predictability that we look forward to the most. This basic desire, it seems, is exactly what Sony Pictures was banking on when they made “Made of Honor.” The problem, however, is that they relied solely on this framework, forgetting that an actual film with developed characters and a substantive plot is necessary as well. “Made of Honor” stars the “McDreamy” Patrick Dempsey and the plain-in-comparison Michelle Monaghan (“Gone Baby Gone”) as two friends?...

The official government death toll was 31, although international observers believe the actual figure was far higher.

But in the immediate aftermath of last weekend's storm, troops were almost nowhere to be seen. One foreign NGO worker who was in Rangoon...
...show. Dressed in an outrageous swan tutu, Mueller pranced around, idiotically parodying the “Swan Lake” clichés. It was an entirely pointless moment of slapstick comedy that needlessly cheapened the previous half. “Contra Finem” was the first actual performance of the second half. Set to a live cello Brahms piece, Schreier’s modern choreography was complex, compelling, and absolutely stunning. The dancers lived up to the difficult choreography with a beautiful blend of angularity and fluidity.This group piece rivaled “Suffered Silence...
