...Chinese artist has made the cause of documenting every child killed in last May's massive earthquake in Sichuan his own. Leveraging his position as one of the country's best-known artists - he had a hand in designing the Olympic Bird's Nest stadium and is the son of China's most prominent modern poet - Ai has managed to help keep the issue of why so many schools collapsed, killing thousands of students, alive...

...artistry trumps her persona. Though the regal, haughty, alpha-female roles might come more easily to her, Swinton is no less convincing in less pedigreed parts. She won Golden Globe and Independent Spirit awards for The Deep End, as a middle-class mother frantically trying to protect her son and the status quo.

He had a genetic abnormality, and that abnormality could have resulted in mental retardation and it also - the chances were more likely that you wouldn't have necessarily known anything was wrong.

...begin, we go back to the womb, to the day of James T. Kirk's birth in deep space, when his father makes a noble sacrifice to save the lives of others, including that of his infant son precisely as he makes his way down the birth canal. The next time we see young Jim - in an energetic Spielberg-influenced sequence - he's a bratty Iowa farm boy of about 11, stealing a car and fulfilling every stereotype of a kid lacking a proper father-figure (his mother is "off-planet"). Flash forward another decade and Kirk (Chris Pine...
