...from Ferrell fatigue and near-libelous reviews, there's another explanation for Land of the Lost's becoming the season's first pricey roadkill. After Night at the Museum 2 and Up, it was the third consecutive action comedy with at least one prehistoric beast. In two weeks, Jack Black and Michael Cera will play the dino-comedy card again with Year One. Sony, the film's distributor, might want to reposition Year One's marketing to emphasize its pedigree as a Judd Apatow comedy (from which The Hangover was clearly spawned), and to sell the primitive wilderness that Black...
...Over a million people, about one-sixth of the colony's population, took to the streets hours after the crackdown. They shouted "Down with Li Peng," naming China's then Premier as responsible for the killings. Entire buildings were draped in black flags. Office workers were given lists of random fax numbers in China and asked to transmit newspaper clippings of events, news of Tiananmen having been suppressed in China itself. Slow-driving protest convoys of motor vehicles took to the streets at night. Wild rumors flew around - one held that Communist Party General Secretary Zhao Ziyang, a student sympathizer...

Over the past four years, Ahmadinejad has cultivated an image as the leader of the downtrodden. At home, the hallmark of his presidency has been his visits to provincial towns and villages, always highlighting the plight of society's least privileged in his speeches. "We came to make a revolution from within the state," the President's aide Mehdi Kalhor tells TIME. "This was a revolution of the barefooted...
...There could not be more contrast between an Ahmadinejad campaign event - the stage occupied only by men, supporters dressed in black, the air filled with sentimental music and religious chants - and a recent rally for Mousavi, with supporters covered in shades of green bouncing to uplifting pop music and women standing onstage to represent him. At a recent Mousavi event attended by some 20,000 supporters - but not the man himself - banners carried phrases like "Government of Hope," "Justice" and "Freedom." A video showcased Iran's national icons, starting with heroes of the 1905 constitutional revolution...
