...Lola Run, the cunning micro-melodrama in which the same events are played in three variations and the entertained viewer is in and out in 76 minutes. If Tykwer's use of pixelated photos, split screens and cartooning in Lola gets you thinking that The International will offer a fizzily anarchic reimagination of the thriller genre, fuhggedaboutit. Running or stumbling a full two hours, this is a medium-IQ sample of spy dystopia - dour, sit-throughable and generically entertaining...
NASCAR is also tethered to the U.S. auto industry, which has required a massive bailout to save it from destruction. The Detroit Three sponsor teams and races and offer engineering support for the drivers and their crews. General Motors and Ford are among NASCAR's biggest television advertisers. Even Toyota, which controversially entered stock-car racing two years ago, expects a nearly $3.9 billion full-year loss, its first since 1950. An auto failure would be catastrophic for the sport. "The uncertainty of it all is what keeps you up at night," says NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France...

They didn't do so simply because they didn't know how to raise the topic and feared that their patients would take offense, in any event. When patients were asked, they insisted that they'd welcome such...
With 104's offer to provide him with studio space for a residence alongside other artists' ateliers at the new complex, Tricky saw the chance to take a break from recording and try his hand at producing. Four weeks and dozens of tracks later, Tricky's new beginning has led to an entire new album, planned for release this summer. The project's success is largely thanks to Amadou "H2-zoo" Ndiaye, a lanky 29-year-old whose young companions have nicknamed "big brother" and "deux-mètres," both for his imposing stature and the watchful eye he keeps...
