...final stretch From Paris With Love is inadvertently hilarious (Rhys Meyers gets most of the intended laughs; he's halfway to good in this mess). The dramatic climax involving a beautiful suicide bomber is particularly funny. The revelation that she is bad to the bone leads to great bafflement on the part of her former fiancé, who is crushed by her betrayal. "She never talked about her life, and I never thought to ask," he says. Could screenwriter Adi Hasak possibly have come up with a better line illustrating the depth of this beautiful love...

...they could just tickle each other. Sparks is generally stingy with the carnal pleasures, and in Dear John we're to be diverted by matters of great societal significance.

...China's long, slow return to great-power status is of historic importance and something that will lead to recalibrations of many diplomatic relationships, including that between Washington and Beijing. But as foolish as it would be to ignore this, it's equally foolish to see too much novelty in headline-grabbing stories that fit neatly within established patterns.
