...actors] are shooting…it is kind of fun to know that that music is actually influencing the performance just as it influences you watching it.” On that note, many may criticize “Elizabethtown” for too closely resembling “Garden State,” Zach Braff’s 2004 pastiche of mellow sounds and soul-searching young adults. “I never saw ‘Garden State’ ’til after we were finished filming,” Crowe says. After watching...
...that leads to fresh outbreaks, but most people will still have a partial immunity because of previous exposure to similar viruses. Occasionally, though, a strain that had seemed to infect only birds will cross over more or less intact into humans. Because this new strain is so different from garden-variety flu viruses, few people are immune. That is apparently what happened in 1918 and in Hong Kong in 1997, then later in Vietnam and Thailand and in Indonesia this summer and fall...
...founder of Egg, Britain's biggest online bank. "They find banks impersonal." At Zopa, lenders' funds are pooled and distributed to borrowers who can send thank-you notes to the lending group to let them know how they are using the money.

...design. The results are almost always devilishly clever. The walls of Wallace’s house are covered with portraits of their customers, whose eyes light up when their alarms are tripped by scavenging vermin (you can guess what happens when, one night, the Were-Rabbit tramples through every garden in town). Every item in Lady Tottington’s wardrobe intricately recreates a different piece of greenery. CGI, to the limited extent that it’s utilized, blends seamlessly with the handcrafted care of the figures, as in a particularly endearing scene where rabbits are sucked from their...
...surly Cologne teenager. "Here, on the other hand, I lived a kind of extended childhood, in which everything seemed to be an apprenticeship and nothing is done entirely seriously." Di Natale's apprenticeship as a writer is entirely serious. Her second novel, Il Giardino del Luppolo (The Hop Garden), published last year in Italy, is about a young German in the 1920s who has hallucinatory premonitions of Hitler's rise. This month comes her latest, L'Ombre del Cerro (Shadow of the Turkey Oak), about two friends struggling to survive the wartime chaos of a country Di Natale once knew...
