...there is also much humor in the purer, simpler Wallace and Gromit vein as well, enough to bewitch the youthful members of the audience. The foxes are entirely civilized until it comes to meals; then they gobble feverishly and without restraint. Kylie is a loyal sidekick but not the brightest opossum in all the land; when confused, his eyes transform into dazed little bull's eyes. A beagle with a case of "chronic rabies" is used to great effect, and Boggis (Robin Hurlstone), Bunce (Hugo Guinness) and Bean (Michael Gambon) are brilliantly realized. Stop-motion is clearly a laborious business...
Archie Jones is the English everyman: a bit dithering, culturally ignorant, but fiercely loyal in a pinch. Jones lives in an England haunted by the Second World War and the disintegration of the British Empire, one reeling from the influx of brown-skinned people with gleaming white teeth. He takes it all in his distinctly English way, his big eyes and open countenance accepting without understanding: “He liked people to get on with things, Archie.

Administration officials deny taking sides. Yet on the eve of his July summit in Moscow, Obama praised Medvedev and referred to Putin as having "one foot in the old ways of doing business." He later praised Putin too, but his Administration has done little to build...
...from stereotypically indie values, favoring straight-forward rock, old-fashioned Southern Gothic lyrics, and country values as worn as the grooves on any Southern man’s first Lynyrd Skynyrd vinyl. Whereas other traditional genres are revamped and stylized in the indie world, alt-country has remained unwaveringly loyal to its roots. Molina & Johnson’s self-titled debut album squarely fits the mold of this genre, providing candid, authentically American songs. However, what the album gains in its masterful portrayal of classic Americana, it loses in musical originality and complexity...
