...Your colleague: Baber: Let???s assume this is a person you know has done a great job, because, as we all know, the axe falls on the worthy and the unworthy. At the very moment, say ?I?m going to stay in touch with you.? Then what you can say is, ?Sit down with me, go through your resume with me? and, as a co-worker, point out your successes as a team or projects that person has excelled at. The key thing you can offer is to introduce your coworker to the people you know, because...
...let???s face it, these witnesses are rarely visually arresting and their almost inevitable presence in documentaries is one reason the form?s audience is so severely limited. You generally approach factual films dutifully, without the joyous (if oft disappointed) anticipation you bring to fictional features. Errol Morris is acutely aware of this defect, and he likes to liven things up by bringing what Hollywood has always called ?production values? to his docs. His new movie, Standard Operating Procedure, about the shocking photographs that revealed the horrific conditions at Iraq?s Abu Ghraib prison circa 2003, offers a compendium...

But there?s that rare sweet spot where graphics, game play and storytelling come together to make a game work. These games...
Ian McEwan is a very successful novelist, but he hasn't let??it go to his head. "Most of humanity gets by without reading novels or poetry," he says evenly, stretching out his long frame on a sofa in his London town house. "And no one would deny the richness of their thoughts." Most of humanity probably won't read his new novel, Saturday (Doubleday; 289 pages), which arrives in stores next week. But the sizable part that does will gain definite advantages in the richness of its thinking about brain surgery, the war in Iraq, the psychic burden...
