...articulates them have a robust manliness in David's voice. Rancor is the medicine that keeps Boris alive. It makes him the ideal foil for Melody's cheerful resilience (which Wood winningly captures) and gives him a tart appeal, even when he's condemning the universe as "this cruel, dog-eat-dog, pointless black chaos" and his own film audience as "Neanderthals"--or when he observes that "while a black man got into the White House, he still can't get a cab in New York."

...Proposal isn't it - too predictable and schematic by half - but it indicates what a good Sandra Bullock film might be. She plays Margaret Tate, the top-dog editor at a Manhattan publishing company who's so hard, you could skate on her. Margaret routinely humiliates all her co-workers, especially her male assistant, Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds), who stays in the awful job because he wants to be promoted to an editor's job.

When chef Donald Berger opened his first restaurant in Hanoi six years ago, he chose the unlikely district of West Lake (or, in Vietnamese, Tay Ho). Except for rows of dog-meat restaurants, the area didn't offer much in the way of dining - certainly not of the international variety that foreign residents and travelers were starting to seek out. "There was nothing here," says Berger. "People said I was a moron." But today, West Lake is home to cafés, bars and high-end restaurants - among them top names that have relocated from the chic French Quarter...
