...Forget April. January is the cruelest month for moviegoers. Nobody in the picture business is bringing forth lilies to enliven the poet's "dead land." While everyone's attention is fixed on the Oscar nominations, it's the moment for cheesy slasher epics and the reluctant release of last year's failed genre effort, movies that may mix "memory and desire" but only in the most unappetizing ways...

...advertising, too, veered off course. Signing up the rapper Common as a pitchman was a play for teen consumers, but analysts point out that it might have been better to forget that fickle demographic and win back folks who remember the Gap in its heyday.

...popular protests after the army withdrew support for them. Yet Arroyo's reliance on the armed forces could backfire. "There's a lot of concern from Filipinos about their democracy being rolled back," says Abuza. "These military-driven policies certainly play into those perceptions." Ermita counters: "Don't forget that the commander-in-chief is a civilian, and that there is a chain of command which is strictly followed. You cannot militarize the country because this is a democracy, not a military government...

...trouble to vote in their national elections. If we are not willing to fight to help decent Iraqis establish democracy, what are we willing to fight for? Some commentators have pointed out that more Americans have died fighting in Iraq than during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. They forget that more Americans died on the beaches of Normandy in an hour on D-day than in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor...
