...came last year with the midnight screening of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Or rather the nonscreening; the movie broke down and had to be rescheduled. Outside the theater, star Sacha Baron Cohen, in character, was dragged to the cinema in a cart by a gaggle of actresses playing Kazakh wenches. Two months later, the film was released, and real people got to see what all the insanity was about. Borat grossed more than $100 million Stateside, and Baron Cohen got an Oscar nomination...
...park. (Yes, that’s right, I live in a crazy, empty fire station in the company of my housemate's two small children.) We cleared the garage of broken athletic equipment and age-old recycling and stashed the stroller upstairs (after we used it to cart in a case of Brooklyn Lager, of course). After considering the important factors of noise pollution and bedtime, we set doors to open at the admittedly un-rock n’ roll time of 7 p.m. On the plus side, we figured this gave us at least an hour before the cops...
...sweet, petite teenager from Southern California, has her opponent, Stephanie Palmer, pinned to the floor. Now she's ready to work--whack, a shot to the noggin. Bam! Pow! Boom! Half a dozen more.

"I like to be friendly to my opponents, but from the start, she's been mad-dogging me, looking me up and down," said Bagherdai after...

"We were the only white family around, so we figured we could do the look-at-us thing and dance around like a bunch of idiots." LaBeouf's father stole a maid's cart from a Best Western, decorated it with paint and streamers, stocked it with hot dogs and shaved ice and took his family to the park in clown costumes to perform. "I hated selling hot dogs. I hated dressing up in clown," LaBeouf says. "But the minute somebody would buy into...
...story, political message with emotional heft. But can animation deliver persuasive action and ultra-violence? Sure. Jo Beom-jin's Aachi & Ssipak unloads more artillery than were fired in three hours of the Pacino Scarface, and with fewer moral scruples; and its climactic chase, inspired by the runaway-cart scene inside the mountain at the end of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, tops that Spielberg spectacle for sheer stunt ingenuity...
