...World. In the world of horse racing these mixed-breeds are considered, according to the movie, unworthy to share the road with purebred horses, exemplified here by the sleek Arabians. The movie’s twist is that Hopkins was born to a white father and a Sioux mother—he is a half-breed himself. As expected, Hidalgo quickly devolves into yet another story about the power of the human will to overcome adversity and have pride in what you are and where you came from.

The bad guys have deep growly voices that prove their deceitfulness, the faithful sidekick/servant dies while saving important lives in the process, and there...
...frills garage-rock band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs appears without gushing mention of lead singer Karen O's louche wardrobe. These getups are neither the flamboyant showstoppers of Madonna nor the fetishistic confections of Britney. The O oeuvre consists of punk livery that would make Siouxsie Sioux proud: slashed prom dresses, hole-riddled T shirts, laddered fishnets, fingerless leather gloves, studded cuffs and Converse sneakers etched with a marker.
