...Sundance, and scheduled to play on HBO next month, this revealing documentary revisits the Polish director's L.A. hearing for having sex with a 13-year-old girl. (Polanski fled to Europe and has lived there since.) Though Zenovich doesn't dispute the facts, the interviews with Douglas Dalton, Polanski's lawyer, and Roger Gunson, Assistant District Attorney (described in the film as being "37, a Mormon, and the only member of the D.A.'s office who didn't have sex with an underage girl") aptly pin the blame on showboating judge, Laurence J, Rittenband. The film is a fascinating...
...Already two-time Palme d'Or winners for Rosetta in 1999 and L'Enfant in 2005, the Belgian brothers are back with another underclass minimalist melodrama, this time set in the polyglot city of Liege. An Albanian girl (Arta Dobroshi) is in an arranged marriage with a drug addict to get her ID; the scheme of the criminals who control her is to kill off the junkie so Lorna can be sold into marriage with a rich Russian who also needs an ID. The film is an improvement on the formulaic L'Enfantand boasts an impressively naturalistic performance by Dobroshi...

The film is inert, visually tiring, utterly lacking in suspense; nothing changes except Onetto's hair color. Martel won some international converts for The Holy Girl in 2004, but this time the acolytes are likely to become apostates...
...good idea to challenge it with antigens to so many bugs? Have the safety, efficacy and side effects of this flood of inoculations really been worked through? Just last month the U.S. government, which has always stood by the safety of vaccines, acknowledged that a 9-year-old Georgia girl with a preexisting cellular disease had been made worse by inoculations she had received as an infant, which "significantly aggravated" the condition, resulting in a brain disorder with autism-like symptoms...
...leaves the broader community at risk. So, is there room between public health and personal choice? Science may eventually provide a way out. Most people agree that there may be kids with genetic predispositions or other underlying conditions that make them susceptible to being harmed by vaccines. The Georgia girl in the recent vaccine case is the first such documented child, but her story suggests there could be others. Though CDC director Julie Gerberding was quick to insist that the case should not be considered an admission that vaccines can cause autism, some parents will surely take it as just...
