...movie: the sluggish, formulaic Cop Out, which stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as a couple of New York policemen tracking a drug lord and saving a kidnap victim while attending haphazardly to their respective family travails. "Nine years we been together," Paul (Morgan) says to his partner Jimmy (Willis) at the film's beginning. Indeed, the movie feels like a fourth or fifth installment of a cop-buddy franchise, when habit has replaced invention, and the stars' chemistry has evaporated. Willis puts his exasperated machismo on automatic pilot, as it was in last year's Surrogates. And Morgan... would...

But a chef has to follow through, and it's to Batali's credit that he is moving forward, instead of just whining about how much he misses the kitchen...
According to those who have judged it, ice dancing is actually more technically demanding than the other skating disciplines. What the judges - or, under the new scoring system, the technical panel - are looking for are precision in things such as the way the man holds his partner, how many turns the skaters complete and which edges they glide on when going into and coming out of moves. Ice dancers are also more constrained by rules as to how many steps they can take in between elements and how many seconds the man must hold his partner in lifts. Ballroom dancing...
