...bringing Putin to power - and therein lies a harsh message for the West. Yeltsin had established a working relationship with Washington based on copious infusions of Western cash to shore up his deeply unpopular regime in exchange for Russian compliance with the U.S. agenda on the international stage and lip-service to Western ideas on how the Russian economy should be reformed. But the systematic international humiliation that Yeltsin?s approach brought for the erstwhile superpower reached a breaking point in the Kosovo crisis. After the U.S. bombed a Russian ally over Moscow?s objections, Washington enlisted Yeltsin?s support...

...film somewhat scants Kaufman's only widely popular success, as Latka, the "foreign man" of Taxi. But all his other creations are here in full: the Mighty Mouse lip syncher, the Elvis impersonator, the wrestler who challenged women in the audience.

...group's called A*Teens (and you thought I was kidding!) and is currently rocking or rather popping through Europe on their oh-so-demanding lip-synching tour. When they make their U.S. debut later this year, expect mass hysteria (t-shirts, lunchboxes, posters, book tie-ins, etc. Oh and a deal with Pepsi once the Ricky Martin contract dies a miserable death in the next few months). After all, they're young, dreamy and entirely unoriginal what more could you want...
