Like the city in which it is held, the Macau Grand Prix has long been biding its time. For years, it trundled along in the bottom tier of race-car meetings as a sort of amateur's Monaco, the field dominated by weekend drivers and their hobby cars. These days, however, it is bigger, louder and definitely on the world map - fueled in large measure by the growth of Macau itself...
...Many Asian countries could go Nigeria's way so far as oil is concerned. Cambodia, which is still recovering from the Khmer Rouge era, ranks near the bottom of Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, and does not possess the institutions to monitor how the government uses its new oil riches. East Timor's economy will have almost no other foundations - studies estimate over 90% of government revenues eventually will come from oil.

Besides baring his bottom (again), Radcliffe’s character dazedly follows Lucy into a dalliance with sex, cigarettes, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The deftness of Radcliffe’s touch only exaggerates the mistake the screenplay makes in focusing on Misty, the film’s narrator who views the world with...
