...tight high bodice and a floating back." The ethereal looking creatures that stepped gingerly across the graveled path of the St. Cloud gardens Tuesday, where Chanel showed under a cloud of rain, were indeed dreamlike. They had tweed hoods to match their boxy tweed suits and over-the-knee leather boots to add a futuristic touch - not to mention a little shelter from the storm here...
...voters, who are more concerned with their pocketbooks, and constitutional revision has barely figured as an issue in July's election. The violent reaction to Kyuma's relatively mild speech - more of an offense against political correctness than history - is a potent reminder that pacifism remains Japan's knee-jerk reaction to anything related to the military, and that domestic sensitivities trump the realities of geopolitics, where nuclear weapons are an unavoidable reality.

Naturally, Farrell toughens up considerably by the time the last fireball blasts past his ear. Could the movie have used a few more grumbly witticisms from McClane? Absolutely. Could Mark Bomback's script have been more probable? Sure. Are we perhaps getting a little tired of movies over-loaded with high-tech gear, whirring numbers on multiple screens and the barking...
