...bare bones - "boobs" and all. (By drastically slenderizing his subjects, Gormley makes these and other intimate appendages protrude like sausages on sticks.) But if outsiders care to linger with these Insiders - and the roadhouse guest book indicates that they do, coming all the way from New York or Dublin for the privilege - they can also glimpse the town's soul. Think of Inside Australia as a microcosm of small-town Australia: wilting under the weight of centralization and globalization, for sure, but miraculously still standing. "I loved Menzies the moment I saw it," says Gormley, 54, who spotted the town...
...Asia's major airlines will soon start feeling the pinch. Airline analysts and executives expect budget carriers to drag down fares throughout Asia. Though that's good news for consumers, it's not for the big airlines. In Europe and the U.S., budget airlines, led by Dublin-based Ryanair, wreaked havoc on major airlines by slashing fares and stealing customers. Both Singapore Airlines and Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific, Asia's premier airlines, deny that they are cutting prices in response to this new threat.

...best work. John (Cillian Murphy) is inarticulate, unsure of what he wants and desperately insecure. As a result, he decides to “test” his girlfriend Deirdre (Kelly Macdonald) by breaking up with her, an action that has consequences for everyone in their small Dublin suburb. Simultaneous to the romantic drama, another local suburbanite, Lehiff (Colin Farrell) has his thoughts on a big robbery that, as always, will enable him to settle down for life. Although the language is often colorful, it symbolizes the working-class ethos that sustains the interweaving narratives of this dense story. Crowley...
