...abstract drawing After a Drawing From the Year 1919, for example, reduces an air attack on a boat to bare lines and geometrical shapes. In Klee's depictions of aerial battles, war planes look like birds, and often it's only the titles - Crashing Bird or Aerial Hunting Scene - that reveal the real meanings of the paintings...
...Bond films carry such baggage and have been imitated so many times that during any scene there'll be another playing in your head: one from some other movie that scriptwriters Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (all of whom worked on Casino Royale) are either citing or borrowing from. Bond films, for a start. Q's gone missing, but M's there, and the sympathetic CIA agent Felix Leiter, making his ninth appearance in the series (played here, as in Casino, by Jeffrey Wright).

They have also accused the police of mishandling evidence, including the victim's bra, which they say had the defendants' DNA on it because it had been left on the crime scene for days after the murder. But each defendant's legal team has insinuated in court that the fellow defendants may be responsible for the murder. Guede reportedly chose the fast-track procedure because he feared the other two defendants had a pact against...
