...that a French lesson missed is a Yale acceptance letter lost. The fear that sending junior outside to roam will end in reporting him missing to the police. Do we now have to add to these fears--some of them neurotic, others real--the fear that "play deprivation" will stunt kids' spirits, shrink their brains and even land them in jail? Such protective obsessing seems to be the problem, and doing more of it offers no solution. Parents should probably just tell kids that fooling around is bad for them, open the door and follow them outside. All work...
Parents who might be worried about their children's reading a book glorifying extortion don't know the half of what's wrong with Artemis Fowl. The writing is abysmal: "Keep calm, he derided himself." Or, "If one of his own men had pulled a stunt like this, he'd have their stripes for it." Cliches fester on nearly every page: "hollow threat" on 87, "no mean feat" on 88.

...unique brand of action found in Chinese films without qualified martial artists? Consequently, Hong Kong producers have been forced to do the once-unthinkable: transform ordinary popstars and actors into action heroes å lá Charlie’s Angels and The Matrix. With a team of professional stunt coordinators and martial arts choreographers lending their not-inconsiderable talents, Yip weaves pure action poetry of the frenzied, explosive kind. Words fail to describe the raw power distilled in each battle. The stars acquit themselves brilliantly, especially Chan. His natural athleticism proves an asset as he spins, flips, and flings...
...Blade, a London company that buys outdoor space, defines ambient media as "nontraditional, out-of-home" advertising with a gotcha! factor. Adds Samantha Yates, director of Amber Media, a British agency that specializes in the form: "Good ambient is making people think, 'Oh, that was clever.'" And if the stunt happens to result in a few admiring headlines, so much the better...
