...Maldives. Not so at the new Four Seasons Langkawi, tel: (60-4) 950 8888. The design of this resort has a very Malaysian sense of place and incorporates elements from the country's Muslim heritage. Arabic tiling turns the large bathrooms into approximations of Turkish hammams. The resort has gorgeous views of the Andaman Sea, and all its airy rooms open on to covered balconies. The main restaurant, Ikan Ikan, is housed in a recreation of a limas, or traditional Malay home, and serves fresh seafood alongside Mediterranean pastas, bouillabaisse and linguine. Serai (meaning lemongrass) is the hotel's other...
Michelangelo Antonioni was the high priest of low-energy cinema, of beautiful people who had the time and money to back out of commitment--who could afford to be miserable. This 1962 antidrama is a prime example of what critic Andrew Sarris labeled "Antoniennui."

Yet almost hidden among those glamorous potions is a plain medicinal box--labeled with the unsexy pitch INTENSIVE CONCENTRATE FOR EXISTING STRETCH MARKS (STRIAE DISTENSAE)--that just happens to be one of the chain's Top 10--selling items. No, stretch marks haven't suddenly become big business. But thanks in part to aggressive ads that proclaim it "Better than Botox?," the scientific-sounding StriVectin-SD has become the hottest thing...
...Marble Cliffs. Junger’s work is purportedly a “resistance story,” recounting the tale of two travelers who encounter, and later flee, a viciously despotic ruler not too different from Hitler himself. In Ryan’s view, however, the gory but gorgeous detail lavished upon the so-called villains of the novel uses the “aestheticization of violence” to glorify barbaric sadism...
