...that said, this is a good, serious and absorbing movie - especially, perhaps, for a reviewer who is roughly Kepesh's age and, of course, eagerly evading the issues his story forces up. Death in the movies usually presents itself as the end of a bullet's path. Or, alternatively, in an inspiring deathbed scene, where the victim appears to be suffering no more than a bad case of la grippe. It's important to see the threat of death as predictably unpredictable, another fine mess we heedlessly fall into. And that Elegy does very powerfully...

Trapped between a wall and a precipice, they had nowhere to go when those running down the path collided with others on their...
...acre corner of Kennedy airport, a swath large enough to allow for the optimal "placing of aluminum" - industry slang for maneuvering airplanes. There are double taxiing lanes feeding into the terminal's gates, enabling arriving planes to approach jetways without waiting for departing planes to clear the path. Architects installed cleaning-supply closets at the gates to assist flight crews in maintaining a fast 30-minute plane turnaround time, and JetBlue hopes that each gate will turn over 10 flights daily, compared with an average three flights per gate per day for other airlines - that rate, Jet Blue says, should...

There's no paved runway on the ice cap, just a groomed, flat snow path, and the planes don't use landing gear but giant skis. That can make takeoff tricky, if snow has melted and stuck to the skis. After dropping us off, our plane taxied around the skyway for more than an hour trying to reach escape velocity, and finally had to dump...
