...Rodan, Mothra, Ultraman and a pantheon of fire-breathing reptiles and aliens. He also inspired a generation of imitators and ushered in the golden age of monster movies, or kaiju eiga, of the 1950s and '60s. If you were young and Japanese back then, you would know Tsuburaya's handiwork, perhaps even his name. He has been the subject of three or four biographies in his home country, and such contemporary movie giants as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas cite him as an influence. But for many, the monster maker remains an invisible...

A spokesman for the artist confirmed that the Bethnal Green mural is Banksy's handiwork, but declined to say whether he is the man in the photograph. (See pictures of Banksy's secret art show...
...fashion house that does bridal. There's a very big difference," says Wang, who is one of the few American designers to have a full-fledged, European-style atelier, complete with working sample room and U.S.-based factories.

After deposing Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a bloodless army coup last September, Thailand's ruling junta promised to restore democracy by the end of this year. Now that the new constitution overseen...
...this Paris top restaurants get five stars; and the garbage boy doesn't normally wear a toque. There's also a logical-logistical challenge. Remy, too small to do the handiwork himself, hides in the toque and directs Linguini's movements by tugging on tufts of the kid's hair. Thus does he manipulate Linguini's arms, legs, shoulders! We understand that the boy is the rat's marionette - but strings through his entire body? Whatever quibbles you may have, you would have to be an idiot of elephantine proportions not to appreciate Ratatouille's grace, humor and power...
