Oldies fans will find something to love on “Lust, Lust, Lust,” the latest release from co-ed Danish duo the Raveonettes. Fittingly for a group that takes its name from the Buddy Holly hit “Rave On,” Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo pay homage to the ’60s-era American pop inspirations that are frequently cited but rarely revived. The band incorporates instrumental nods to their beloved Holly and Lou Reed along with close vocal harmonies that recall the pre-pubescent crooning of the Everly Brothers...
...tunes for Best Song. The Foreign Language Film category, almost always a botch, had disqualified The Diving Bell and the Butterfly because its screenwriter is English and its director American. (That's Julian Schnabel, who still copped a Best Director nomination). Ang Lee's Chinese-language erotic thriller Lust, Caution was missing, as was The Romanian drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days, the Palme d'Or winner at Cannes and a near-unanimous critics' fave.

Odinga said, "The government and the police have turned this country into killing fields of the innocent...
...wasn't the first time China's video sites have featured content that the authorities would have preferred to keep unseen. In November, an unabridged version of Ang Lee's erotic thriller, Lust, Caution, swamped Chinese websites after 22 minutes of graphic sex scenes were cut by China's State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT). On Jan. 3, after the equally risqué Lost in Beijing was banned, online views of the movie hit a record high...
