Talk about feeling the burn. Reubenesque users of a heating pad-style weight-loss device are getting scorched -- literally -- when the product, wrapped around their waist, arm or leg, bursts into flames, according to the FDA, which issued a warning Thursday about the pads...
...rediscovery, he gives himself over entirely to the cat's way of life: lapping water, shedding his clothes etc. Dementia and self-abandonment are, however, notorious invitations to over-acting and under-directing, and Daniels' savagery grows almost as histrionic as Nicholson's The Shining, Currier's loss of control with the picture almost as total as Kubrick...
...Canadian firm a sleepy moneymaker. IMAX, founded in 1967, was "run like a candy store by its five original founders," says Wechsler. "There was really no business discipline." Since then, revenues have doubled, to $158.5 million in 1997, while profits have increased, to $20.7 million from a loss of $11.6 million in 1994. In the first quarter, revenues were up 11%, to $36.1 million...

This is, in part, a war movie that understands loss, desolation, death. Power and discipline are the motifs here: bending your will and others', bending the system while working within it. The villain, a crazed, WWF-style hulkster named Shan-Yu, has no comic irony softening his brute trapezoidal lines. He's just an evil machine with vampire teeth. The Wall, the vast plains and hills, the Forbidden City itself, all cringe at his shadow...
