...dissent for Democrats to understand who was on their side. And the decision - decisions, really - were such a buzzing, conflicted horde that Gore didn't concede, and Bush didn't celebrate, because there was a lot of deciphering to do first. The nation will get its split-screen versions after the two candidates get one last fitful night's sleep...

His presence, facial expressions and self-confidence are unique, and each of his gestures and body language expresses complete mastery of the young, yet mature and inimitable artist. His penetrating glances and smile lights up the screen. One of the young children who spends time with Depp at the chocolate shop, Gati (Marion Haudecoeur) has huge eyes in her tiny, unforgettable face. Juliette Binoche is also as great and beautiful as usual...
