Today marks the opening of the 58th Cannes Film Festival, the world's largest annual convention, art exhibit and international debating society. For 32 of those years, we have made our pilgrimage to this Riviera redoubt to hobnob with stars and directors, renew old friendships, sample the superb wines and cuisine under cloudless Cote d'Azur skies and, when there's time, see movies...
...towering movie figure, both uniting and divisive, Wayne can finally be seen as a superb actor, not a Vietnam-era political litmus test.

Osborne’s ’08 light design is alternately eerie and awe-inspiring...
...qualms about Greenspan are dwarfed by fears of what will happen in January when his term as a Fed governor expires. Most Fed watchers agree that Greenspan has done a superb job of shepherding the economy, especially since he has had to contend with two major stock-market corrections, assorted global financial crises, a rash of corporate scandals and 9/11. An economy's success is tied to confidence, and Greenspan has made believers out of marketmakers and policymakers...
