...Science was a Sundance success, was acquired by the classics division of a major studio and already the New York Times Magazine has prostrated itself at Gondry's feet in an adoring profile with, one is certain, all sorts of sober critical exegesis about to follow it in the major markets. Lieutenant, meanwhile, was picked up by a fringe distributor, opened in New York to OK notices and is now beginning to make its halting way around the country on what's left of the once-flourishing "art house" circuit...

...elected government closer to Iran than it is to Washington - in the Palestinian territories it initially did just the opposite, seeking to overthrow the newly elected Hamas government though a financial blockade. Bush's suggestion Tuesday that "the world is waiting to see whether the Hamas government will follow through on its promises [of ending corruption and improving the lives of the Palestinian people], or pursue an extremist agenda" would certainly have been greeted with skepticism by many in the region, who feel that Hamas's ability to fulfill its election promises is entirely dependent on the U.S. and Israel...
