...Anglo-Afro bruiser who's fond of Merchant-Ivory dramas; Handsome Bob (Tom Hardy), a gang member who unexpectedly plights his homoerotic troth to the flummoxed One Two ("What exactly is it you want to do to me, Bob?"); and, best of the lot, Johnny Quid (Toby Kebbell), a junk rocker who has faked his own death to sell more CDs. It's a star-making part for Kebbell, and he's a delight to watch, giving it the creepy swagger of American-style bravura acting. (Disappearing into the crowd are the two actual Americans imported to play Johnny...
...coolness and intellectuality. And at times in this campaign - during Hillary Clinton's populist transformation, after Sarah Palin's convention speech - Obama's demeanor has seemed problematic.

...course, there's a worst-case scenario: that McCain would, if elected, maintain his predecessor's chilly relationship with Spain. Spaniards may, on the whole, revile American politics and American comida de basura (junk food), but they still tend to measure their Prime Minister's international worth by the esteem with which the U.S. President holds him. And so, for the past four years, the Spanish Prime Minister has tried, ever so earnestly, to prove that he's one of the big boys. At every international summit he has tried to maneuver himself into position for a photograph with Bush...
