...real" world Coraline will get the chance to be a heroine, to vanquish the villains and win her parents' attention (though Real Mother's lips remain Perma-pressed). But the happy ending doesn't dilute the story's moral, obvious enough to stick like a needle in any kid's eye. Both the book and movie warn kids to distrust the kindness of strangers, and find refuge in the prison of the status quo. It's important, Coraline says, for children to learn that real life, though it may be preferable to being devoured by a Spider...
...head of IBM (IBM) told some of his U.S. workers that they would be fired, but could stay with the company if they were willing to move to India.

Where else can you watch actor Lou Pucci in three films in one day and sit next to him in another movie the next...
...find gratification in small things," says Sienatra, fondly known to regulars as Felix the Chef. In the case of the Wind Chime, that attitude translates into fastidiousness (think personalized menus and elaborate presentation) and food that is prepared slowly, with obvious dollops of love and care. The oven-baked chicken with veal sweetbread and mushrooms that we tried was the highlight of an eight-course set meal spread over two hours. The à la carte menu, including a wonderfully traditional Scotch broth, is similarly made for lingering over. "This is not a place to come...
