...convince him that his mask doesn't disguise his identity; it is his identity. You see here the relative freedom a sequel can bring. The first film in a series is like an awkward first date. Once they are past the getting-to-know-you stage, writers can flesh out characters they could only sketch in the initial film. Any critic could name a fistful of follow-ups that outshone originals: The Bride of Frankenstein; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; The Road Warrior; Aliens; Batman Returns. In TV, improving with age is the norm: a good sitcom, whether...

"In Surrealism the fire of art and the ice of science have met," said Australian Surrealist James Gleeson in 1940. Gleeson matched Breton for evangelical fervor, and his gobsmacking canvases lay the foundations for this exhibition, which later travels to Brisbane, Armidale and Hobart...
...Prime Minister - especially since 61% of voters in a recent MORI survey disapproved of Blair's job performance. Howard's appeal was evident early this month on a campaign stop in Eastbourne, on England's south coast, when he propelled himself out of a minivan to press the flesh.
