...effort from Gondry’s fertile imagination. As a result, “Be Kind Rewind” is a uniquely Gondry creation. Jack Black and Mos Def star as two video store clerks, Jerry and Mike. When Jerry accidentally erases the contents of all the videotapes, they resort to “Sweding,” or re-enacting and recording, each of the videos that their customers want to rent. The films are said to be Sweded after Jerry’s claim that customers must wait longer and pay extra money for them because the videos...

Earlier last week, Australian forces conducted a sweep around the tiny village of Dare, perched on the western mountain range that rises steeply behind Dili. The soldiers threw up checkpoints on the roads and declared the area a "media-free zone," denying access to journalists, but allowing Timorese to pass...
