...sympathetic than foolish. Skie Ocasio, as Thuy, the husband Kim’s parents arranged for her prior to their deaths, offers a performance unrivaled among the supporting cast. Ocasio shines with a powerful presence and robust singing voice. Though he must appear in a painfully bad second act flashback, he handles even that sequence with skill...
...George W. Bush has already gone on record warning that countries who aren't with him are against the U.S., a flashback to the 1950s and '60s, when the West was confronting "evil" communism. That shouldn't be the bottom line: for many countries, such as Indonesia or Malaysia, staying out of the fray is simply the national interest. The U.S. must also be wary of abandoning liberal and democratic principles in the name of solidarity against its new enemy, terrorism. Washington must be careful not to give free reign to a regime just because it joins the alliance...
...that very aloofness that creates and sustains her magic, that Garboesque detachment?hers exclusively in Asia?that has brought her to the edge of big-time success.

Comix aesthetes may therefore snuff at its mainstream approach, but on the other hand, you don't need a Ph.D. in comix linguistics to appreciate...
...Dylan, he'll tell you that "things have changed." But it sure seems as if they haven't changed much. This summer's European scene looks like a collective musical flashback, packed with acts that have been around for decades. Dylan, now 60, has been on what seems like a nonstop tour in recent years. Perhaps he's still trying to redeem himself from his 1966 U.K. performances, when he was greeted with catcalls and boos. This year, his eight-country European swing will have a much warmer reception at stops that include the Roskilde, Montreux Jazz and Stimmen Festivals...
