...talking really fast. It's essentially an antique theatrical manner, the falsity of which the movie camera, dialing in for its close-ups (and even its two shots) exposes as relentlessly now as it did 69 years ago. No one ever gets to act - and this is a cast rich in good actresses - if by acting you mean the expression of authentic emotions. They are caught up in a zip-zap frenzy of words - and it is interesting how many lines in this script can be traced back to the Boothe original, which would not have been all that difficult...

...appointees. Last year, Beijing indicated that it could introduce direct elections for Hong Kong's legislature and the chief executive by 2017, potentially robbing democrats of their signature issue. "This was an important move by Beijing because it helped to cool down the intention of middle class people to cast their vote," says Sung...

But the real - and much less colorful - bad guy in the Singur debacle is India's misguided industrial development policy. India wants booming manufacturing hubs like the ones that have transformed Chinese cities like Shenzhen. But instead of creating a handful of large special economic zones, or SEZs, and locating them strategically near ports and cities with large pools of labor, India has approved more than...

...happens that these three films found Miyazaki in an epic mode; their multilayered plots, teeming cast of characters and considerable length (each running at least two hours) made them more daunting than embraceable to many viewers. But back in the '80s the filmmaker contented himself with kids' movies that were both simple and sophisticated. Laputa: Castle in the Sky, about a pair of orphans in pursuit of a floating island; My Neighbor Totoro, where two girl meet forest spirits more domesticated than the ones in Princess Mononoke; and Kiki's Delivery Service, with a 13-year-old witch starting...
