More Songs for Sleepless Nights (Epic Soundtrax). The movie-sound-track boom is getting out of hand. The nostalgia-laden Sleepless in Seattle album contained actual songs from the movie, like Louis Armstrong's classy A Kiss to Build a Dream On. This shameless Sleepless sequel, featuring selections like Al Jolson's Sonny Boy, includes a disclaimer: ''None of the recordings in this collection appear in the motion picture Sleepless in Seattle.'' Is the audience asleep...
...conference in the Rose Garden in September when Bush was being hammered about his response to Katrina, he seemed eager to show how much he'd been studying and pondering the possible consequences of a flu pandemic for the nation and the world. He even recommended John Barry's epic The Great Influenza, about the epidemic of 1918, which new genetic research shows was caused by bird flu.

...many people's minds, the epic fiasco that was the Miers nomination could not have happened if Rove had been at full strength. Tortured by kidney stones, distracted by a circling prosecutor, Rove was not in top form during the 24 days that the nomination was collapsing.

The party's ambitious comers are not running as Bush's allies and heirs, and the 2006 campaign promises to be an epic battle. G.O.P. pollster Bill McInturff says the percentage of people who define themselves as "very interested" in the 2006 elections is already at 57%, compared with 39% in October 2002, a month before those midterm elections. History is certainly not on Bush's side. Since 1966, if a President...
...Indian films are like no other: a churning blend of epic conflict and cootchy choreography, of Sergio Leone and Vincente Minnelli ... This is the world's busiest movie industry. IN BOMBAY THEY CALL IT BOLLYWOOD, AND IT PUTS HOLLYWOOD TO SHAME: MORE THAN 700 FILMS A YEAR (ROUGHLY THREE TIMES THE NUMBER PRODUCED BY THE MAJOR HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS) in the nation's 16 official languages ... Western viewers expecting the delicate art films of Satyajit Ray will be in for a pleasant shock. Most Indian films are closer to the populist energy and intimate audience connection of Hong Kong films...
