...shame because Depp is a skilled comic actor. His Captain Jack Sparrow is still a marvelous creation. It's not just a matter of his eye makeup or his variously funny ways of walking, running or sitting still (as when he discovers, to his dismay, that cannibals have decided to make him the main course at their banquet). It's also that Jack is, in truth, a modernist, unaccountably displaced to the 17th century and obliged to undertake the mindless heroics not only of an antique movie genre but also of the spirit of an age when all are heedlessly...
...Haiti have all consumed far more of Washington's time and resources than giant Brazil, which was too big, remote and independent to be a pawn in the cold war. The only significant departure from the U.S.'s small-country bias has been with Mexico, first in the creation of NAFTA and then when Washington bailed the country out after its financial crash in 1994. Paying attention to Brazil would involve offering an attractive trade agreement that would grant freer access to the U.S. market for Brazilian steel, shoes, orange juice, ethanol and other products that currently face import barriers...
...about the subject. They appeal to the curious part of you that leaned on the kitchen counter and watched Mom or Dad cook dinner or that lingers by construction sites. By showing the choices and ideas that go into ordinary consumer products--and using editing to speed up their creation like time-lapse photography--the series remind us that food, clothes and furnishings are not just frivolities but deeply personal expressions. The opposite happens with TLC's The Messengers (Sundays, 10 p.m. E.T.; debuts July 23), which, seeking nothing less than "the next great inspirational speaker," takes serious problems...
...power politics in Congress and among the U.S. public. As a result, his transformation proved untenable. Woodrow Wilson came to office focused on domestic issues but ultimately intervened in World War I, leading him to envision a transformation of world politics through the spread of democracy and the creation of new international institutions. But his reach exceeded his grasp, and the succeeding decades witnessed the rejection of his policies and the return of American attitudes that favored a more traditional distancing of the country from the European balance of power...
...greatest works. Throughout May and June of 1937, exploiting her intimate access to Picasso, Maar photographed the various stages in Guernica's evolution, detailing the revisions, amendments and rearrangement of the painting. In the process she made the first and most significant documentary record of the process of artistic creation. That collection of images is one of the highlights of the NGV's exhibition Picasso Love & War 1935-1945, in Melbourne until October...
