...movie glamour, and that means movie stars. We've seen Madonna, Clint and Arnold literally stop traffic, as crowds clog the Croisette to catch a glimpse of the stars' red-carpet promenade. It was the same today, when a flying wedge of security guards hustled Tom Hanks into the Da Vinci Code press conference past a couple hundred photographers. This is catnip to the Festival administration, which gets free worldwide publicity from the stars. No one is more eager for Angelina Jolie to have her baby early than Fremaux; if she does, Brad Pitt may show up here...
...nine- person Jury of directors, actors and other film folk. (Chinese auteur Wong Kar-wai is the 2006 Jury President.) Fremeaux also picks the entries for a sidebar program with the rather diffident name Un Certain Regard (A Certain Look). Other films, like tonight's Festival opener The Da Vinci Code, are shown out of competition. There's a selection called The Critics' Week and, a quarter-mile down the beachfront Croisette, the utterly independent Directors' Fortnight.

...evaluating, as one professor said in the faculty debate,” he said. Mansfield had 11 ratings on RateMyProfessors.com, giving him an average easiness of 2.3, an overall quality of 3.6, and a total hotness of 5. One comment from this fall read “He is da best teacha at Havared. He gets you to think thoughts in your head. Thats reall respectable like.” “The evaluations mean something, I suppose, but not very much,” Mansfield concluded. Felton, however, said that...
...Since taking office in 2003, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has pledged to tackle both Brazil's security malaise and the inexcusable social conditions that have bred the gang violence. His opponent in the upcoming October election, former Sao Paulo governor Geraldo Alckmin, has boasted the state had triumphed over organized crime. The Sao Paulo crisis is likely to shine the spotlight on both their records."You can't say the PCC want to benefit one candidate or another, but there 's no doubt that they are smart and well-informed and that they know authorities are more vulnerable...
