...directed four films in 32 years: Badlands in 1973, Days of Heaven in 1978, The Thin Red Line in 1998 and now this retelling of the romance of John Smith and Pocahontas - the crosscultural Adam and Eve, or Romeo and Juliet, of colonial Virginia. Like his superb earlier films, this one has a poetic, faux-naive narration and little dialogue to lead viewers through a story of small people in a gorgeous landscape. On landing in America, Capt.

...Aardman colleagues have created a horror-romance that owes as much to Jane Austen's social comedies as to the Hammer monster movies of yore. In Millions, a sack of stolen money falls on 7-year-old Damian (adorable Alex Etel), and he thinks it?s a gift from heaven.

I want to restore New Orleans to the heaven on earth that I brag about so often; then I can have you down and show you around.

...album (Octet, Boards of Canada, and 8-Bit) have already been released here, and some better “Guero” remixes didn’t make the cut.It’s baffling why Beck chose to let Air put out the quasi-interesting “Heaven Hammer” remix of “Missing” instead of Röyksopp’s epic ass-grinder from the special edition. Even the hotly-anticipated new mixes from ex-Unicorns groups Islands and Th’Corn Gangg do little but make Beck?...
