...series a cult sensation in the first place. The movie, which hits theaters Friday, reimagines the space-time of this alternate universe with an eye toward the absurd. The story still centers on disgraced paleontologist Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell), but instead of his family he buddies up with scientist Holly Cantrell (Anna Friel) and Will Stanton (Danny McBride), owner of a desert fireworks store. Marshall and Stanton are a bumbling pair; they provoke dinosaurs, overindulge in exotic beverages, and generally make a mess of place. They're the sloppy stars of a profoundly silly movie - and Silberling couldn...

...words. Fouad, a teacher, says, "I was emotionally moved by Obama's delivery. I loved his grasp of Islamic history." A Bethlehem mother, Raheeda Hamad, says she approved of Obama's message of a global partnership and of the necessity for equal education for women. At Nablus University, political scientist and Islamic scholar Abdul Sattar Qasim says, "His speech was very close to the heart. He has a way of speaking directly to the people, something other leaders have forgotten." But the scholar also injects a note of criticism: "He spoke of the violence of Hamas but didn't mention...
