...limited release, A Serious Man got the Job done, with $252,000 in six theaters in New York, L.A. and the Minneapolis suburbs, where the movie is set. How this Jewiest of Coen brothers parables will play in more gentile climes, only God knows. More Than a Game, the inspirational sports drama (is there any other kind?) starring NBA titan LeBron James, was no winner, earning less than the Coen movie in twice as many theaters. The real specialty buzz was for Paranormal Activity, a Blair Witch-y haunted-house thriller that reportedly scared the pants off Steven Spielberg. Paramount...
...close to the epicenter of the 7.6 magnitude tremor, joining search- and-rescue squads from South Korea, Singapore, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. The day before, Pariaman regency's secretary Yuen Karnova received a call late at night informing him that foreign experts had arrived, and he rejoiced, "God bless, help is coming." The chance of finding survivors in the landslides triggered by the quake in that region will be very slim. Still, the Swiss team prepares the dogs for the journey to Pariaman by dunking the dogs in some water to cool them off before they begin their...
...clawed his way out, thinking he was safe. After running around 200 m (about 600 feet), he was knocked back by another torrent of soil and lost his grip on Fajar. On Friday, his two-year-old son's body was found by the riverbank. "I thank God it was in one piece," says Amin. Now, he's searching for the bodies of his parents-in-law, who didn't make it out of his house. The building itself has completely disappeared under a mountain of dirt. Of Amin's 31 neighbors, only six survived...
...Rasheed Hotel, one haunting figure wandered in from the streets to wag a finger at the politicians and power-brokers. "Maybe God will direct them in the right way," says Naima Daoud Salman, 80, dressed in a dusty black Abaya from head to toe. Salman showed up because she heard powerful people would be here. Frail, with one bad eye and the other made of glass, she and seven other women traversed the Al-Rasheed's marble hallways looking for government assistance. They had been evicted from a squatters den three months ago, after being kicked out of their homes...
...flimsy but in-your-face blue sign near the entrance displays one of Khomeini's best-known declarations: "We will stand until our last breath, last house, last drop of our blood to elevate the word of God." The shrine's interior, reminiscent of an airport hanger, reflects the Imam's austere outlook. During his rule, Khomeini received all manner of dignitaries in a bare room at his daughter's modest residence in the theological center of Qum, and refused to eat anything more extravagant than fruit, yogurt and rice. In contrast, his sarcophagus has now been enclosed within...
