...American indies, which have replaced foreign films as the higher-IQ supplement. Another reason is, frankly, that the foreign stuff isn't as exciting as it once was. The preferred art-film mode is dour minimalism, in which glum folks surrender to cosmic torpor in front of a static camera. Even as the pulse of world entertainment, from pop movies to video games to YouTube clips, is revving up, the pedigreed European film is getting slower and grimmer...

Online 3D simulations can greatly reduce the amount of time and cost needed to do market testing. And 3DVIA can provide 3DSwym's marketers with a large, 3D-savvy audience of consumers to tap. "We will try to leverage them," Wilson says...
...called “stars” of reality shows may live out their lives publicly, on camera and in tabloids, but the irony is all that exposure shows how little we actually know about them. Lauren and Heidi (of “The Hills”) both recently launched their own fashion lines, but their show makes next to no mention of their budding new careers and its headaches. The high schoolers of “Laguna Beach” were never shown bothering with that little inconvenience the rest of us like to call class and homework, which...
