...center. They're quite light, so you'll want to order at least four per adult. I like them best with a blistering curry, and my personal favorite is another Pilawoos delicacy, fish curry. Thick chunks of fresh tuna are marinated in a blend of mustard seeds, tamarind pulp and fenugreek and then mixed into a rich coconut sauce. You'll pay 50? for the curry and a mere 5? per hopper. It's the best deal in Colombo...
...Weinstein looms large. Biskind portrays Miramax's Brobdingnagian bully as a movie-loving maniac prone to physical violence, verbal attacks and financial shenanigans. Those sins are usually forgiven because his little studio in Manhattan's Tribeca has backed many of the best, most original flicks in recent memory, including Pulp Fiction, The English Patient and Chicago, and he ponied up big time when MGM got cold feet about co-funding Cold Mountain...

In 1994 Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction generated volumes of discussion about movie violence. In 2003 Kill Bill Vol. 1--which made Pulp look like Toy Story--landed nearly as softly as villainess Lucy Liu did when she collapsed bloodily into the snow in its climax. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, involving a theory that Mary Magdalene may have been Jesus' wife and the mother of his child, intrigued readers and sold millions of copies...
