...best-looking swordsmith in the West Indies. Fueled by love, Turner sets out with Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) to rescue damsel-in-corseted-distress Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) from dastardly pirate Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). When you watch Bloom parrying onscreen, you see shades of pirate-movie icon Errol Flynn - a natural. But Bloom was actually the last lead to be cast. "We really needed somebody who could hold his own as the love interest-Errol Flynn character, so the audience wouldn't think Keira was going to end up with Johnny Depp," says director Gore Verbinski. Rush...
...America and Asia, in fictional and factual films. Two of the strongest Cannes pictures this year were documentaries. Rithy Panh's long, harrowing S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine shows some of the Cambodian perpetrators of genocide in the '70s confronted by their victims or the victims' survivors. Errol Morris' The Fog of War lets Vietnam-era Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara make his nuanced, self-critical apologia for his decisions in a war that killed 56,000 Americans and 60 times as many Vietnamese. It's a must-see, especially for Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. The shroud...
...There was the inspired idea of having Errol Morris, probably America's best documentarian, shoot the "what do the movies mean to you?" clips that opened the ceremony; if it was yet another example of the ritual tongue-bathing Hollywood administers itself every year, it was at least dry-witted and unsentimental in Morris' typical style.

And there was the inspired idea of having people like David Mamet and Buck Henry write introductions to some...
...could be fresh for an evening's prowl of the city's top night spots; his son still has a 1937 album of photos from El Morocco. Phyllis Adams, a pert swank Manhattan deb, has her own memory book of nightclub propositions from elegant gents, including Errol Flynn. Brooklyn's Davie Lerner had never been inside any of these tony boites, but when stationed on Okinawa during the War he designed an officers' club that reproduced the zebra-striped banquettes of El Morocco; to men 9,000 miles from home, it symbolized American class...
...murder, it has evolved from the cartel's last-ditch way to protect market share into its preferred means of communication. "They rule by terror," says Errol Chavez, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's San Diego office. According to testimony from former associates, Ramon often rises in the morning announcing, "I feel like killing somebody today," then satisfies the urge in ways designed to build the legend, feed the fear. Trademarks include "the Colombian necktie"--cutting an informant's throat below the chin, then pulling his tongue through the wound as he bleeds to death...
