...Country for Old Men” made Joel and Ethan Coen anxious about producing a worthy follow-up, you wouldn’t know it. Their latest effort, “Burn After Reading,” does not attempt to surpass their previous films, nor does it depart radically from their filmmaking style. Like many Coen brothers’ movies, it features a roster of oddball characters, an outlandish conspiracy, and a considerable amount of dramatic irony. Unfortunately, “Burn After Reading” lacks the inspired characters and dramatic depth that carried their best efforts...
...Wayne has mounted the jewel in his hip-hop crown. “Tha Carter III” represents the culmination of the most dramatic hip-hop trilogy of recent memory. As far as content goes, Lil’ Wayne’s newest album doesn’t depart far from his traditional material. With sugary club hits like “Lollipop” and “Got Money” (featuring the perpetually auto-tuned T-Pain), Lil’ Wayne has covered his bases and ensured complete dominance of the pop charts. The material...

Three years later, the area is still haunted by memories of Katrina, and many are starting to wonder how much longer they can take the annual...

He may depart from the scene, but the conflicts and contradictions that elevated him and then brought him down remain far from resolved...

It's not unusual for flights to be delayed for hours, even canceled altogether, sometimes stranding people on the ice cap for days at a time. We were lucky - our plane did depart, and landed safely at NEEM some two-and-a-half hours later. There's no paved runway on the ice cap, just a groomed, flat snow path, and the planes don't use landing gear but giant skis. That can make takeoff tricky, if snow has melted and stuck...
