...Russell Crowe, excellent in two hits (3:10 to Yuma and Am Gang), was snubbed by the HFPA. Philip Seymour Hoffman got two nominations, for Charlie Wilson and The Savages (my favorite '60s garage band, BTW), but not for the bleaker, in fact bleakest movie, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, which got shut out. Charlie Wilson, which comes out Christmas day, is a true-life kinda comedy about a Texas Congressman who funded the Afghan rebels against the invading Soviets in the 1980s. It's a feel-good war-on-terror movie, and it was cited five times...
...Boston Harbor, including such landmarks as Memorial Hall, MIT, and the Massachusetts State House. Most of the flight went smoothly—until the helicopter began to round Boston’s skyscrapers. “The buildings act like a mountain range,” pilot Philip Greenspun explained as the helicopter circled the John Hancock Tower, “so it’s natural to experience some turbulence.” Since he obtained his pilot’s licence in 2001, Greenspun—a computer science affiliate at MIT—said he has logged...

The sound of fast-paced violins filled the air as a group of five dancers gracefully performed to the music of Philip Glass.

The shooter had reportedly been trying to ask for a place to stay, but when Johnson tried to refer him elsewhere, he shot her. Police are now focusing on 24-year old Matthew Murray - the gunman in the New Life Church shooting, who was shot...
...Director-screenwriter Chris Weitz's film version of the first book in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is meant to be a blockbuster for all major moviegoing demographics, from six to 16. Wreathed in lavish CGI effects, The Golden Compass traces the quest of the 12-year-old Lyra (Dakota Blue Richards) to find a missing friend and, eventually, to save her world. On the way to her destiny she's imprisoned by a glamorous vamp (Nicole Kidman), befriended by a talking polar bear (the talking is done by Ian McKellen) and accompanied by her own Jiminy Cricket...
