...sweeter-than-it-is-sexy Blind Love, a twist on Cyrano de Bergerac, with a ventriloquist using a friend to woo (and have sex with) his inamorata. Lalapipo (Lot of People), set in the teeming, tumescent world of the porn industry, is an agreeably demented farrago whose hero has a talking penis that looks like a Muppet - say, the Nookie Monster - and urges him to have sex with someone other than himself. If you get to see the movie, stick around for the UFOs...
...Quick Gun, the hero of this goofy, riotously colorful comedy, is a cowboy who's also an Indian (from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu): a pudgy chap with pomaded hair and a gigolo's thin mustache, outfitted in white hat and boots, green shirt, orange pants, pink scarf, leopard-skin vest. He's determined to stop his nemesis from turning the Tamil dish of vegetarian crepes into all-meat patties in a chain of McDosa fast-food restaurants, and to achieve his mission he'll need to be reincarnated, as himself. Originally a series of spots...
...After seeing their hero return from injury so many times before, few in China seem ready to declare him finished. Eric Zhang, Yao's agent, told the China Daily that it was premature to call an end to the center's career, and many fans agree.

"There are plenty of basketball players who managed to do that after major injuries. I don't see why Yao Ming should be an exception...
...mustachioed, sombrero-wearing Zelaya makes for an unlikely leftist hero. A 56-year-old former rancher and timber merchant, he took office in 2006 after campaigning on a centrist platform. But once in power, he drew close to Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and quickly copied his formula for popularity: giving handouts to the poor and blaming all the country's problems on the rich. Amid rising crime and a spluttering economy, the establishment turned on Zelaya. The flashpoint came in June, when he called for a nonbinding referendum on changing the constitution to allow Presidents to stand...
...some respects, Zack16 is a different beast, much franker in that it mentions the V word and shows him trying to fashion a "manpad" and using an actual tampon dispenser. But the campaign, created by advertising stalwart Leo Burnett Worldwide, also falls back on old clichés. Our hero wears a white suit to the prom, for example. There are lots of reasons not to wear a white suit to the prom, most of them having nothing to do with personal hygiene. He says he feels comfortable because he's using Tampax. (Also, the prom's on the seventh...
