...penalty shoot-out. The $905 million depot consists of a soaring, 321-m-long, 9,000-glass-pane hall covering tracks[an error occurred while processing this directive] running east to west, a 46-m-high barrel-vaulted steel-and-glass hall and two rectangular office buildings running parallel to the underground north-south lines, plus a shopping galleria. It's on the site of the city's Lehrter Stadtbahnhof, inaugurated in 1871, the year the German Empire was founded. Badly damaged in World War II, most of the building was later razed, leaving just four inner-city tracks...
...Coppola's artistic mission was to parallel Marie and her retinue with today's modern youth, cocooned in their own search for pleasure. Straddling the centuries, Coppola puts her idle rich in period dress and accompanies their fatuous frolics with raucous rock music. The spirit here is less the divine decadence of Paris, France, than the spoiled shallowness of Paris Hilton.

Griffith's three-hour, four-part, epoch-straddling 1916 film Intolerance. One would expect as much from Aronofsky, a young director with an original, powerful vision. But The Fountain dropped...
...encourage and sustain the work of whistleblowers is to subject the government to thoroughgoing media scrutiny.Finally, focusing on press freedom emphasizes the power of indigenous groups to reform a country, instead of depending on continuous intervention and supervision by foreign governments. The failure of foreign aid provides a useful parallel. Constant and reliable inflows of foreign cash crowd out native innovation and entrepreneurship, preventing the development of indigenous industries. The same is true for the fight against corruption: Assistance from foreign governments or non-governmental organizations can be a temporary help for a country transitioning from an authoritarian regime...
