...impossible to ignore. Hundreds have been killed and many more wounded. Refugees from South Ossetia continue to arrive in the area outside the capital, looking for somewhere to live. The past few hours may have been the worst. Late Tuesday morning, four attack helicopters swept in over the brow of the hill and fired incendiary bombs into the wheat field. Villagers ran for cover. It was the second attack in less than 12 hours. In the early hours of this morning, a group of Russian jets bombed a cement factory and railway line in a neighboring village. In nearby Gori...
Cities are hardly spaces in which one is made to feel at home. A bird’s eye view of the traveling routes that mold the city would show a human ant trail of Wall Street armor, lost tourists, and trendy hipsters. The financial analyst’s brow is lined by the latest economic woes. The leader of the tourist group is dismayed at having boarded the express train rather than the local.

Fortunately, that subplot lasts for about three minutes, and Kinnear can return to exuding his trademark mixture of blithe assurance and brow-furrowing self-depreciation. For this attractive actor, it?s a blessing and a curse: he?s got the perfect romantic-comedy skills, but he?s in the one decade when the genre isn?t flourishing. Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland and many lesser lights built long careers without the charm Kinnear...
...forth between jovial and sad. Manning’s ability to balance both of these emotions—as well as embody their effects in one performance—is noteworthy, while Prinze’s role requires little more effort than putting on a frown and a furrowed brow. His character, like his acting, is a bit of a bore...
