...shift mood and rhythm from song to song - sometimes heavy-handedly, as in the back-to-back placement of dissonantly named tracks Good Morning Beautiful and Deathblow. It does so within songs, and sometimes within bars. It takes a tight band to pull this off, even in a recording studio. Guitarist Stephen Carpenter and bassist Chi Cheng actually seem to like melody, and they aren't afraid of playing simple, accessible licks with immaculate cleanliness.

...filmgoers paid triple price to scalpers. The morality play about prostitution has taken in $1 million to become Vietnam's highest-grossing film ever, smashing records set by Korean and Hollywood imports. Not bad for a cadre-dominated movie industry in which the People's Army runs the major studio and one of last year's most acclaimed films is titled Hai Binh Builds a Hydropower Plant...
