...world's longest mustache? Who was the world's most productive mother? No standard reference book troubles with such trivia, but an offbeat guide called the Guinness Book of Records answers such questions with gusto ... [It is] the world's greatest grab bag of mosts, leasts, longests, shortests, fastests and slowests ... Chosen to compile the book were Norris and Ross McWhirter ... [They] comb thousands of journals to keep their superlatives up to date, correspond with authorities in 110 countries, scan heaps of musty books to track down obscure points ... And when all else fails, they turn to an army...
...internecine battles of the past, however entertaining, have been put aside (for the moment) by all Democratic factions except Al From and the Democratic Leadership Council. The DLC opened the current presidential campaign by supporting the war in Iraq, not reluctantly as John Kerry did, but with neoconservative gusto. In typical From fashion, the DLC blasted what he views as the Kumbaya wing of the Democratic Party for being weak-kneed on defense. From and DLC president Bruce Reed then attacked the candidacy of Howard Dean (who, ironically, was something of an Al From doppelg?nger-chesty, mouthy and combative). From...
...film, Moore returns home to Flint to grieve with the parents of a dead soldier, then goes to Washington in a quixotic attempt to badger Congress into volunteering their sons and daughters for military service. Fahrenheit 9/11 is necessarily less personal than Bowling for Columbine and lacks its freewheeling gusto. But it's a fascinating collection of talking points in this election year. In Moore, the American left has its canniest Bush ambusher, its savviest guerrilla entertainer, and its most colorful ambassador to filmdom's biggest annual bash...
...Feber du Fauer, who is an authority on Hoffmannsthal and has directed the play several times in Europe, is director and chief actor, playing Jedermann with an exuberant gusto that fits the part perfectly. From among the students, Roman as "Tod," and Reynolds as the "Teufel" turn in outstanding performances. The cast comprises professionals and amateurs of all ages and both sexes, and every part down to the lowliest "Hausknecht" is surprisingly well played. Admission is free, and there are still some tickets for the Saturday night performance to be had at the Museum office...
...takes more than a professional interest in her. Xiang Xiang (Liu) is a jaded flight attendant with Bridget Jones problems: lots of men to date, none to come home to. And then there's freshly divorced Lily (Chang), who gets back into the swing of the single life with gusto, only to discover that when you're approaching middle age, you can't outdance loneliness in a discotheque. The very modern ladies of 20:30:40 barely intersect, but director Chang ably guides her characters to a common realization: that independence has to come before love or success...
