...Coraline (pronounced core-align), which Selick adapted from a kids' book by graphic novelist Neil Gaiman, begins with a needle thrust in the viewer's eye. Mostly, though, 3D is used to heighten the picture's antirealistic, otherworldly mood. The illusion of depth is boldly stylized; the scene of a front yard or a kitchen will be a series of flat surfaces, like the planes in a pop-up picture book. This is the animated film as art film. Coraline doesn't try to ingratiate; it just looms, like a cemetery gate, daring curious souls to tiptoe in and fend...
...Karzai, for his part, appears inclined to align himself with growing numbers of Afghans who are hostile to the Western military presence in his country by, if not quite biting, then at least snapping at the hand that feeds and protects him.

...time at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (and registering as a conscientious objector when he was called up for national service), Pinter escaped into regional theater, where he played in repertory for a dozen years. The man who much later reputedly turned down a knighthood rather than align himself with the British government once acted like a baron: David Baron was his stage name. (He would keep acting, off and on, for the rest of his life.) It allowed him to prep for the stage characters he would create, since, as he told Gussow, "I always played the sinister...
