...world's dining capitals - but Koh Samui? Once upon a time, the only foods associated with this backpacker destination were hallucinogenic-mushroom omelettes, street-corner noodles and [an error occurred while processing this directive] barroom burgers. But today, the island off Thailand's east coast is heading upmarket. Slick new resorts are luring older, more affluent travelers, and in their wake has come an army of chefs and entrepreneurs, hoping to cash in.

The Crimson will return to action for the final time in a home game on Saturday against Columbia, who currently sits on top in the Ivy League standings. The contest also marks...

Somehow, though, these two kids from an Australian film school, working on their first feature, got it done, and matched the ingenuity of the plot with a slick, sick visual style. (The film's green pallor suggests that Wan, an ethnic Chinese born in Malaysia, had been watching a few of the Hong Kong dramas shot by Christopher Doyle...
