...pundits and newscasters were practically slobbering over Clinton's projected defeat and could barely wait to crown Obama the winner long before the polls closed. Obama is smart, attractive, likable and a fabulous orator, but we need much more than beautiful speeches. Bambi Lin Litchman, Tacoma, Washington...
...doesn't mean he didn't find something to say. Like Procol Harum, Stallone is not afraid of metaphor, of being opaque, of answering some questions with questions and other questions with a hail of bullets. What he wanted to say in the new Rambo came down to one smart speech: "Old men start wars. Young men fight them. And everyone in the middle gets killed. War is natural. Peace is an accident.

...looks as though Oscar has stopped thinking of Joel and Ethan Coen as those smart-ass kids from Minnesota. After nearly a quarter-century making movies, they've arrived in style with No Country. It earned the brothers four nominations: three under the own names for Best Picture (i.e., producers), Direction and Screenplay, and with the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes for Editing. Now Blood-letter Paul Thomas Anderson is the potential upsetter; and Jason Reitman, 30-year-old son of Canadian comedy conglomerator Ivan Reitman, is the scion to watch...

Cassandra's Dream is the name of a long-shot greyhound who wins a race and makes a small fortune for an addicted gambler named Terry (Colin Farrell). It is entirely appropriate for him to give the name to the smart little sailboat he and his brother Ian (Ewan McGregor) buy with his winnings. It is also believable that these working-class lads would not know much about the lady after whom the speedy canine was named - mythology's great purveyor of doomy portents. It is, finally, appropriate for Woody Allen to find the title for his movie in this...
