...They were somewhere else, probably drowning their sorrows in Tsingtao beer. For in a year when the Jury awarded four of its eight prizes to actors and directors from East Asia, ?2046? received no prize. None, that is, except the consolation prize of professional movie people. The Screen International committee of film critics had voted it the best of Cannes - and with good reason. Wong?s film is a cool meditation on, and a warm evocation of, the loves of a man?s life. The man (Leung, playing the same character he did in Wong?s 2000 Cannes prize-winner...
...Those who attended the Sands opening enjoyed a similar vision. Inside the front door, showgirls in pink, sequined bikinis and multicolored feathers pranced and greeted visitors. Towering above the busy slot machines, a 33-m-wide video screen flashed fireworks and ocean sunsets. Waiters in traditional Chinese peasant hats scurried between the tables with free cups of tea. A jazz band jammed at the casino bar.

DIED. TONY RANDALL, 84, versatile, opera-loving actor who was a fixture of the American stage and screen for more than 50 years but is best remembered as the punctilious fussbudget Felix Unger in the 1970s TV sitcom The Odd Couple; in New York City.

The DS stands for dual screen: one screen to watch the game on and another touch-sensitive screen to control the game. Round 3: the PSP prototype is unveiled at E3--though with few details and no playable games. But surprise! The Nintendo DS prototypes show up at E3 with cool dual-screen games, like air hockey...
...También, and who plays the young Ernesto Guevara, pre-Che, in Walter Salles' The Motorcycle Diaries. Salles makes icons of the struggling (but always beautiful) poor of South America until the movie becomes a kind of liberal cornography, but García Bernal commands the screen with a winsome power. The main Dagger doll is Zhang Ziyi. Four years after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, she has become the petite embodiment of Chinese beauty and resilience. Her competition film was Wong Kar-wai's 2046; she plays a 1960s-era mistress with a panoply of pouts, flirtations and surrendering...
