...theater: Jean-Louis Barrault and Jean Vilar. For Vilar he wrote incidental music for modern readings of classical plays. In 1951, Georges Franju, a director of spare, uncompromising documentaries, hired Jarre to score his film essay on wounded veterans, the 1951 Hôtel des Invalides. In the next dozen years they would collaborate on two more shorts and five sepulchral features, including Head Against the Walls and Eyes Without a Face. Franju's images were so haunting they needed no assertive music to drive their points home; Jarre's scores were subtle and looming, the shiver in the shadows...
Precise details are still emerging. The fact that the attackers managed to sustain their assault for several hours is being seen as evidence of sophisticated training. Monday's siege comes less than a month after a dozen gunmen carrying backpacks and wielding Kalashnikovs attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team in the heart of Lahore. On that occasion, which was also widely compared to Mumbai, the gunmen managed to escape after killing half a dozen police officers.

If you took your kids to the Jonas Brothers movie, you sat through nearly a dozen trailers for 3-D movies to be released this year. Perhaps you saw the latest issues of TIME, People and three other Time Inc. publications promoting 3-D as "pretty darn cool," and citing such top directors as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Peter Jackson as being in love with the process...
...depth simulation go back to the first years of movies. At the end of the 19th century, British inventor William Friese-Greene secured a patent for a 3-D movie process. In 1915 Edwin S. Porter, whose The Great Train Robbery had stoked the first great movie sensation a dozen years before, presented a series of 3-D documentary shorts to a New York City audience, who viewed the short documentaries through anaglyph (red-green) glasses. In the 1920s, many 3-D shorts appeared on programs at theaters such as New York's Roxy. MGM presented three 3-D talkie...
