...have the room to list, the film features some breathtaking visual moments and slick new camera tricks. By speeding up and slowing down certain parts, the director toys with traditional warfare cinematography. The choreography runs the gamut from standard epic-movie fare, to edge-of-your-seat brilliance, to an unintelligible blood orgy. Shot entirely on green-screen, the sets and scenery adds artistic detail unparalleled in today’s action films. Special effects elicited gasps from the audience a number of times, despite some unrealistic-looking decapitations. A few good actors buttress the action, to a point...

Going to the same high school as my sisters just made things more complicated. It was the little things that really annoyed me, like how my younger sister, Kirsten, loved to borrow my car at inconvenient...
...never lost his bearings on the area he represents, even as it has been transformed by wealth and Asian immigration. In fact, Bennelong is Howard's touchstone for the get-ahead and assimilating migrants he believes are the key to national cohesion. As many as one-quarter of the seat's population are Asian-born. Many have professional, trade and technical qualifications; most share Howard's ferocious work ethic and are keen on material accumulation...
