...script, which this non-Luc Godard wrote with Robert Mark Kamen, quickly sketches Bryan as your standard-issue CIA superman with a pathetic flaw. He calls himself a "preventer." ("What do you prevent?" "Bad things from happening.") And like most other action heroes, he's an all-or-nothing-at-all fellow. An indifferent husband to Lenore (Famke Janssen, this time looking less than her usual obscenely fabulous), who's remarried and can't stand him, Bryan is trying to redeem himself as a family man by paying extra attention to his daughter...

...truck with a snowplow mounted up-front. Playgirl would present him nestled on a bearskin rug, Budweiser in hand. Since Ted represents the worker and the frozen small-town tundra, and Lucy represents the Man and despicable urban living - seriously, did Governor Sarah Palin have a hand in this script? - it's preordained that they will despise each other. For a few scenes, anyway. If only they'd introduce betting counters at the multiplex. I'd like to have been able to gamble on the chances that Ted and his plow would eventually encounter Lucy and a pesky snow bank...

...sense of just how far Mattel is deviating from script requires a trip to the retail district in downtown Shanghai. There, on March 6, the company plans to open a 38,000-sq.-ft. (3,500 sq m) House of Barbie - the first of its kind in the world. This is nothing like the Main Street toy shop of yesterday. To enter the eight-story showpiece space, customers pass through a pink neon-lit tube, where the prerecorded sound of giggling girls grows progressively - some might say demonically - louder. After registering for a Barbie passport, visitors can get their hair...

...aftermath of Shepard’s death. Interviews conducted by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project in Laramie—as well as statements made during the trials of the accused murderers, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson—comprise the entirety of the script. Each actor played multiple characters, which ranged from members of the Tectonic Theater Project to police officers to the murderers themselves. The actors were able to switch between characters with ease. Sam L. Linden ’10, in particular, strikingly portrayed two very different characters: Jedadiah Schultz, an eager...

...predictable enough. It's the touches that James, who wrote the script with King of Queens veteran Nick Bakay, brings to the character that make the movie O.K. James knows how to use his girth to comic effect. If horror is about geometry, comedy is about physics: the pretzeling and punishment a body can take. James' pratfalls don't give the impression of hurting because he has such a capacious cushion to fall on. His grace in motion isn't exceptional, but he could medal in Segway. There's a perfect meeting of actor and character in one little scene...
