...Director Harold Ramis tries to emulate the zany comedy greats. In some of the Sodom scenes, there's a touch of Mel Brooks, and in the traveling scenes, a hint of Monty Python, especially when Oh and Zed meet up with fractious Cain (David Cross) and his brother Abel (Paul Rudd). But for every such hopeful moment, there are 20 more where Black licks feces, kebabs, nostrils or, in the absence of a clear target, the air in front of his face.

But the first time I met my husband - which was three years before we began dating - we didn...
...Russia has insisted that the ban is not political and simply reflects a failure on Belarus' part to meet new sanitary regulations. But Russia has a tradition of banning goods from neighboring countries at the first sign of disagreement, like the 2005 ban (which has since been lifted) of Polish meat after Poland joined the E.U. and the 2006 ban of Georgian wine after Tblisi accused Moscow of spying, leading some observers to suggest that Belarus isn't being paranoid.
