...Street Kings (an oddly static and generic title for a movie that seethes with deranged energy) comes from Southern California's dark romancer of violent cops, James Ellroy - or, as he calls himself, the "king of American crime fiction." Unlike L.A. Confidential and Black Dahlia, this movie isn't based on an Ellroy novel. It comes from an original script of Ellroy's that two lesser scribes worked over. But under David Ayer's direction it's still got Ellroy's arrhythmic pulse, careering from one high-caliber confrontation to another. The movie is in love with the boys...
...acclaimed film director. Green was present at the HFA to screen a number of his films, including the newly released “Snow Angels,” and to answer questions from the audience. Green’s directorial technique is marked by its frequent use of the Southern Gothic style. “Snow Angels,” however, is unique in his corpus. Set in the northern United States, the film is a plot-driven story about adult relationships, rather than the coming-of-age narratives that characterize his other films. While Green wrote original screenplays...
...past recording, “Attack & Release” utilizes a classic, almost theatrical album structure, and while previous albums simply opened and shut, here the band almost seems to be telling a story.

...Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa called a conference of the 14-nation Southern African Development Community (SADC) in the Zambian capital Lusaka to discuss the delay in the release of results in Zimbabwe's presidential race. Though Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) won a parliamentary majority in the March 29 vote, the Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC) has not released the official result in the presidential race. An independent survey places Tsvangirai well ahead in the vote, and the MDC itself claims an outright victory after 28 years of Mugabe's rule...
...past, Mugabe has found support and empathy from neighboring states in the SADC. Many southern African leaders, such as South African President Thabo Mbeki, are his peers in the African liberation movement. Others, such as Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, have ruled just as undemocratically, and for just as long. In interview, Tsvangirai told TIME that his talks with SADC leaders had suggested Mugabe's support was evaporating. "Everyone realizes he is a cheat," he said...
