...confess that my standards for “excellent” are not quite as stringent for a horror film as for movies of other genres. Most horror flicks, that is, are so comically awful that anything with a semi-coherent plot and reasonably good acting already qualifies as decent, and the scale goes up or down from there. So, while The Ring surely is not The Godfather, or even American Beauty, for what it is, it’s quite good and worth seeing...
...since, in her unwitting gift to Latin America, Margaret Thatcher defeated the Argentine junta in the Falklands war and revealed the bankruptcy of politics run by men in dark glasses and military uniforms.

Sinuiju is short of everything an economic hub needs to operate, including decent roads, commercial transport and proper water facilities. Yang intends to woo international banks to finance infrastructure projects. Similar funding has been sought in the past without much success. In the mid-1990s, Pyongyang tried to lure capital to North Korea's Rajin-Sonbong free trade zone, which also has its own legal code, but little has been developed. In a black box of a state where assessing political risk is like reading chicken...
