...summer-movie preview that ran last week on TIME.com, I speculated about Ocean's Thirteen: "If Take 3 is a reasonable facsimile of its predecessors, it will be like one of those elite parties you're dying to attend because of the killer guest list; then you get in and find that, for all the star glamour in evidence, the ambiance is somehow... lacking." Turns out my hopes were too high. It's as if the whole enterprise were running on battery power that was about to give out. The five big stars can't shake the movie's infectious...
...essence, I fear the Senate's new bill promises to be this decade's contribution to a long line of immigration Band-Aids. Granted, its guest-worker program is the right idea, as long as it doesn't repeat the human rights abuses of the last century's bracero project.

There are also guest appearances by Larry King, Chris Rock, Ray Liotta and, apparently, any other stars Seinfeld ran into in those four years...
...limo from Heathrow. Its one-hour-and-50-minute Ginger Ritual ($495) is billed as the perfect jet-lag cure, and comprises deep Shiatsu massage for the kidneys, feet, hips, shoulders, neck and back, as well as aromatherapy featuring an oil that's custom-blended to a guest's needs...
