...shall say no more because, in the 2hr.40min. version shown at Cannes, Southland Tales felt not only unfinished but unformed. After his imposing directorial debut with Donnie Darko in 2001, Kelly secured financing (mostly from German sources) for a much larger budget film, with some big-name stars: Dwyane Johnson, aka The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) and Seann William Scott (Stiffler in the American Pie farces, here in a more serious role). He also hired a passel of veterans from Saturday Night Live, including Janeane Garofalo, Amy Poehler, Jon Lovitz and Nora Dunn. Plus Justin Timberlake, Wallace Shawn...
...Makhmalbaf (Kandahar), but his unblinking, gritty style is quickly turning him into the country's most courageous social filmmaker. Poverty, censorship, the justice system, women's rights - the subjects he tackles read like a list of hot-button issues guaranteed to tick off the authorities.

As it transpires, over the course of the next few days Monica manages to sidestep Yirrkala, hitting the coast 300 km west at Maningrida, but what begins to form...
PARIS HILTON, 25, was delivered unto us famous. Quite what she did to get to fame is a mystery. How she stays there is a master class in marketing: there are Paris Hilton--branded perfumes, jewelry, books and dance clubs (on deck: Paris Hilton's debut CD). So why not, then, a new cell-phone-based video game, which the hotel heiress introduced at the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles? "Sorry, I'm late," Hilton told the crush of ardent fans and photographers who had been waiting more than an hour for her. "I'm really excited...
