...financial crisis have changed the landscape in which Japan and the U.S. find themselves. Hatoyama said that Japan had been "buffeted by the winds of market fundamentalism in a U.S.-led movement that is usually called globalization," and criticized a "way of thinking based on the idea that American-style free-market economics represents a universal and ideal economic order." "The influence of the U.S. is declining," Hatoyama wrote, in a "new era of multipolarity," and he went so far as to propose something like a European Union - with a single currency, no less - in East Asia. It is enough...
...director Richard Loncraine—who previously directed film adaptations of Shakespeare and a made for TV movie about Winston Churchill—allows Zellweger to flourish in a quieter, more formal movie than she is accustomed to. His prior academic studies of sculpture seem influential in his directorial style; every shot of his is remarkably crafted. His frames are horizontal and narrow; the top of each seems to barely avoid truncating the upper limits of the scene, creating a kind of uncomfortable intimacy for the viewer. The camera shots are still and never shift focus from the characters, allowing...
...several Spanish-language singles and has collaborated with famous Spanish-speaking artists, this will be her first album recorded entirely in Spanish.

With her breakout hit “I’m Like a Bird,” off 2000’s Grammy-winning “Whoa, Nelly!,” Furtado likely could have developed her career solely around her vocal talent...
...retains a deep affection for the genre even now. Similarly, his novels have always dabbled heavily in references to the pulp novel’s cultural siblings—rock music and monster movies—so, despite the seeming retreat into genre fiction, he maintains a continuity of style, if his substantive fingerprints are still conspicuously absent.Unfortunately, the rigid pacing and logical arc of the conventional detective story don’t quite jive with Pynchon’s classic (one might say, inherent) psychedelia. The novel really does feel shaggy and baggy, because the normally lean detective genre...
...contains some interesting elements, but Kroeber’s drums almost disappear into the background wash of noise. Throughout the album, sterile tones fill what would have been silences in their earlier work. Keaton’s addition heralds a fuller and admittedly more echoey version of their previous style, but it detracts from the band’s originally interesting simplicity. The added effects attempt, and fail, to hide fairly shoddy song writing. “Time to Die” is not as tuneful as “Visiter” and their new sonic elements, though adventurous...
