...South of the Border, which is amateurish as cinema, myopic and cheerleaderish in its worldview. Stone sees the geopolitical glass as all empty (the U.S. and its world banking arm, the International Monetary Fund) or all full (Chávez and his comrade Presidentes in South America). As big a celebrity as any of the leaders he interviews, Stone kicks a football around with Chávez and shares coca leaves with Bolivian President Evo Morales. Never does he raise prickly questions - for instance, about human-rights violations and attacks on journalists in Venezuela. The director leaves those stinging salvos...
...finished it.” Also making his second career start at quarterback was junior Collier Winters (223 yards, 2 TD), whose second half heroics helped Harvard overcome a 14-10 halftime deficit. On the Crimson’s second drive after halftime, Winters led Harvard with both his arm and his feet on a 92-yard drive that culminated in a three-yard touchdown run from Winters, giving Harvard a 17-14 lead it would not relinquish.

Dominic Cooper is a fast talking undergrad, who employs the victim defense to improve his grade. In a gleeful little sequence, Josh Charles gives the same speech five times over to break up with different women. The less hideous men, the ones who describe being actually touched by women, like Krasinski and Christopher Meloni (whose bit feels inspired by In the Company of Men) come across as lost and rather foolish boys...
...delegates crammed into the ballroom to hear her champion "commonsense conservatism" and Reaganomics and offer commentary on Asian geopolitics. But if this luncheon keynote address was the former Alaska governor's first credential-burnishing step toward a 2012 presidential bid, it was made with the pesky media well at arm's length. All press were barred from the event, reportedly at the request of Palin's camp. Details of her remarks have been pieced together from interviews with delegates who were in attendance, tweets from inside the ballroom and a few private recordings of the proceedings that were obtained...
