...From the ads and promos for director Neil Jordan's The Brave One, which played at the Toronto International Film Festival before opening in theaters Friday, you can guess that this rosy notion of the city is doomed. So is David, since he simply doesn't fit the profile of a Jodie Foster movie. Foster doesn't do straightforward love stories; indeed, she may be the only actress in Hollywood history who has built a two-decade star career without ever playing a traditional romantic lead. (Sommersby was about as close as she got.) It's no surprise that, within...

...thought they were ugly and reflected the wearer's insecurity. I feel the same way about hair dye for men and women. Being who you are rather than putting up some kind of façade shows much stronger character. By all means, dress well, and stay healthy and fit. But dyeing your hair is right up there with dressing like a teenager when you are 40. For those who claim it's different for women, I respectfully reply that it shouldn't be - and perpetuating the supposed difference won't help. Steve Rummel, Chicago...

...films fit snugly into genre classifications. The 1992 Belgian film Man Bites Dog was a brutally dark fakeumentary; Tokyo Decadence from the same year was a study of degenerate Japanese sex. But they were peculiar and edgy enough to build a base of acolytes. One of these was Geddes, who can be seen on the TIFF Midnight Madness blog in video footage of the audience from 1990; he's the one with the gothic cross. In 1992 he published a Hong Kong fanzine called Asian Eye, concentrating on action movies by the likes of Jackie Chan and John Woo, which...

...husband abandoned the family, might have been affected by a blow to the head at the age of four; and also by the sudden loss of his grandfather, the only paternal figure in his life. But Russia's preeminent psychiatric institution examined him and declared him sane and fit for trial. Now a jury must decide if his boasts are true and, if so, how to punish him. They cannot sentence him to death. Russia has suspended capital punishment since 1996. Unless the state reactivates the death penalty, Pichuzkin will not be able to match Chikatilo's finale.
