...delivered to this typical hutong home by Beijing Hutong Tour, tel: (86-10) 6615 9097, a company founded in 1994 to make the city's hidden byways accessible to tourists. And it's worth seeing them while you can, given that the hutongs are being razed at a rapid clip as Beijing modernizes in preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games. Beijing Hutong Tour gives a good, concise introduction to how the old Shichahai Lake neighborhood, for one, looked before the neon advertising signs began to mushroom. Though Shichahai's lanes have been marked "preserved" by city planners, the area...
...also static. French critic Michel Ciment called Ghost 2 "animation without animation"--a cartoon in which the images don't move much. On stolid figures and faces, only the mouths move, as in the old Clutch Cargo TV series. The action scenes don't move at a clip either. Sometimes Oshii preens a little, as when the camera tracks slowly around an object. It points out what's missing in his approach: fluidity of character line, the subtlety of expression that brought humanity to a Warner Bros. cartoon duck or rabbit...

...into the Collingwood River a few hours later, any fantasy of an easy ride is long gone. A lurid sign warning of the risks of rafting had confronted us as the bus pulled off the Lyell Highway, and our outfits have added to the feeling of uneasy excitement. We clip bright life jackets over a motley combination of bathers, thermal pants and tops, shirts, shorts and wetsuits, before donning helmets, thick socks, gloves and sneakers. We should expect, says Pat, an earnest, highly capable 21-year-old who's on his first trip as tour leader, to get very...
Most damningly, the film is devoid of humor. In using a clip from “The Daily Show,” Greenwald lets Jon Stewart make the jokes for him. A defter editor would have used the frequently absurd clips from Fox to comedic effect. Instead, the director elicits a few chuckles but misses the belly laughs his material so richly deserves...
