...fact, few spaghetti Westerns beyond the Leones were released here. Americans stuck with the Duke through True Grit and patronized the anti-Westerns of Sam Peckinpah (notably The Wild Bunch) and Robert Altman (McCabe & Mrs. Miller, another snowy oater). And then, bang, the genre was dead. The setting, the pace, the moral stakes all seemed so very 19th century. When the Western is periodically revived, it's not from popular demand but from the antique obsessions of powerful filmmakers...
...Armani sets the pace for his design studios and what comes out of them, Roberta sets the agenda regarding who wears Armani?and when?on the red carpet. She was instrumental in the planning of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' nuptials, and at any celebrity-driven event, whether it's Cannes or the Oscars, you can usually spot her giggling with Holmes, George Clooney or Martin Scorsese.

In truth, they are returning home because it is impossible to keep 160,000 soldiers and Marines in Iraq indefinitely...
...Even so, Sunday's vote left conservatives with a shrunken parliamentary majority that may leave the new government vulnerable to interests that oppose programs seen as essential to keeping pace with European Union partners. "Of course we would have wanted a bigger, more comfortable majority," said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, a conservative lawmaker. "But the size of the majority will not affect how effective our government will be." New Democracy held 165 of the 300 seats in the outgoing parliament. Karamanlis, who describes himself a "compassionate conservative," called for an early trip to the ballot box ahead of the August wildfires, seeking...
