...street that ran West to East. Hollywood or Paris would disgorge some spiffy hit, and before you could say call my lawyer, an unofficial Asian remake would be in the theaters. So Hong Kong ripped off Luc Besson's Nikita in a homage called Black Cat. Plot theft is as common a factor in the Indian film industry as doleful, dancing heroines. Just this year, the U.S. thriller What Lies Beneath was turned into Raaz, and the Polish art film A Short Film About Love became the scandalous Ek Chhotisi Love Story. As a Bollywood character notes in the London...

...bassist Tony Levin, as well as a solid rock riff. However, “My Head Sounds Like That” is a self-indulgent dirge summed up by its appalling lyrics: “The oil is spitting in the saucepan / I squeeze the sponge and let the cat out / Oh, my head sounds like that.” Gabriel is never boring to listen to, but when none of the songs is much shorter than seven minutes, the burden of listening to an entire rendition of how his head sounds is more pain than it?...

No one yelled "gaijin!" at me as I walked down the streets. There are funky bars like JaJah and Cheshire Cat that play soul and jazz.

"I'm happy I live in the town where (foreign) culture came to Japan," said Jiro Shoda, who was tending bar at the Cat as Miles Davis blew softly over the speakers...
