...consensus-building. It's a hallmark of Brazil's widely respected diplomatic corps - and it tempered Lula even when he was a metal-workers union boss in the 1970s. Unlike more radical Latin leftists, such as Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, Lula "was always a negotiator," says union pal and former congressional Deputy Djalma Bom, who recalls Lula telling him to stop reading Lenin 30 years ago. Even rivals like Rubens Ricupero, a former finance minister and Cardoso ally, agree. "The danger with Lula is that he can be rather messianic," says Ricupero...
...entirely different look every so often. Impressive, if pointless. There's a steak place called Botero that displays works by the Colombian artist and a more modest joint called Café Society.

Before they've even gotten out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, they have blithely given their Paris address to a suspiciously friendly fellow who, in short order, dispatches some rough types there to kidnap the girls. The second message of this French-made film: Don't trust the French...
...wide-ranging, yet unclear, just like the rest of the movie. Capricorn has done well for himself in the nonfiction world, acquiring an Italian castle and an army of minions. But he'd also like some treasure, courtesy of Mo reading aloud from Arabian Nights, or maybe a supervillain pal to help him take over the world. Serkis, who voiced Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, looks something like the harmlessly goofy Mr. Bean, but Capricorn's threats are real and so are his henchmen's guns.
