Setting up the Roku was about as painless an experience as I've had, and took less than 5 minutes. I cabled it to my TV, powered up both, then followed the on-screen prompts. The Roku device found my wireless connection immediately and asked for my password. I watched video by logging into my Netflix account (you'll need one, which also entitles you to rent-by-mail DVDs) and adding movies and TV seasons to my "instant" queue; they show up on the Roku box almost instantaneously. I moldered on the couch for a few days, watching...
...needn't have won an Academy statuette to have a film at Cannes, so long as you have A-list talent on-screen. Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich) will be here with his directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, supported by a cast that includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener, Emily Watson and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Brooklyn-based helmer James Gray (We Own the Night) is coming with Two Lovers and his leading players, Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow. All these directors and actors will mount the Palais' 24 red-carpeted steps to the evening premiere...

Even as the focus never strays from Jeremy’s face, the camera motion along with sounds of laughter and chatter create the atmosphere of a busy restaurant. Later...
...action star: it's to somehow make people watch you when your body's at rest. Studying this actor doing nothing is a rewarding experience. It's not that he suggests reservoirs of cogitation and calculation behind his eyes; he's too stolid, monolithic, slab-like for that. Reeves, on-screen, is not a thinking animal, but he's a strong, wounded, wary one. You feel both fascinated and apprehensive, guessing with good reason that he's about to claw, bite or maul some other creature in his way. Armed or not, Reeves is the weapon that...
