...winds of a new Depression demand that that salutary trend of the movie '30s be revived. Oliver Stone, get to work. In the meantime, with brilliant bloody timing, here comes The International, a spy thriller with a theme worth mulling: that moneymen are the root of all evil...
...rhetoric of demonstrations in Tehran is worth listening to.
