...Cory Bosworth said after Eastern Sprints. “Any crew that goes to the tournament has a real shot at the Grand Finals. It makes it a little nerve-wracking, though I am really proud of our racing this year.”Opening the spring with a bang by racing defending NCAA champion Brown, the Black and White kicked off an exciting racing season, suffering just a four-seat loss in the varsity eight and a mere three second loss in the second varsity. Impressively, the novices held their own as well, lagging behind the Ivy powerhouse...
...Stability has been slow to return to Kep and to the country as a whole. But today nearly every Asian nation has a stake in Cambodian industries, from hydroelectric dams to oil exploration to real estate development. In Kep, three Modernist homes have been restored into Knai Bang Chatt, a striking boutique hotel owned by two Belgians. At the other end of town, the early 20th century La Villa de Monsieur Thomas is being revamped into a five-star resort by a Khmer developer. And in February, Sokimex, a powerful Cambodian company that imports most of the nation's petroleum...
Last year the estate of Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond (and also, fun fact, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), invited the novelist Sebastian Faulks to write a new Bond book under the Fleming pseudonym. Devil May Care (Doubleday; 278 pages) begins magnificently: a world-weary 007 drifts through the pleasure capitals of Europe, recovering from the exertions of Octopussy and wondering if it might be time to hang up his 00's for good. The 20th century is leaving him behind: it's the 1960s; there are hippies in the streets, and M is making him do yoga. But when...
Indy films usually begin with a bang and end in scenes of gross-out mysticism, but the coolest thing here comes in the middle: a high-speed two-vehicle battle between Indy's team and Irina's goons that's up there with the Raiders Jeep sequence; it's certainly more complex and audacious in its engineering of physical action. In his press conference at Cannes, Spielberg said, "I believe in practical magic, not digital magic," and in "real stunts with real people." These stunts are real good...
...Start with a big bang, end with terrifying mysticism. The creation of these movies always has this method: start with the opening and climactic sequences - in Raiders' case, the South American cave with the rolling rock and the opening of the Ark with the melting skulls - and work inward. (Or as Spielberg says on the new Last Crusade DVD: "How do we fill in the middle?") Here, the bang couldn't be bigger. The 12 min. opener takes Indy into Area 51, where he escapes into what seems to be an ideal Levittown ... except that the people are mannequins...
