...Unawatuna or the newly hip Trincomalee, and?even if you haven't crashed in the traffic maelstrom or been totaled by zigzagging three-wheelers?you'll be in serious need of some rest and rejuvenation. Bliss it is, then, to pass through the Sanctuary Spa's pebbled portal, catching sight and scent of a blossoming frangipani tree...
...surprise about The Terminal is not that it got bad buzz but that it's a bad film. Several bad films, actually. First it's a comedy of desperation, with lots of sight gags (a machine that spits quarters in Viktor's face, too many people slipping on a wet floor) in the style of French comic actor-director Jacques Tati.

The sight that greeted him is so commonplace in Aceh as to be almost banal: Ishak, a 51-year-old farmer who was standing watch over Alue Bieng that night, was sprawled on a wooden platform used by the village's night watchmen, his T shirt pocked with bullet holes. Beneath the platform...
...butt of jokes rather than the envy of the world. It is an agency that has become self-protective and bureaucratic; it is too reliant on gadgets rather than spies to steal secrets. Sometimes the CIA has simply been too blind to see what is hiding in plain sight. Tenet restored the agency's morale, but he leaves behind a string of spectacular intelligence failures...
