...just another tease. Natasha is soon killed in an alley by unseen flying beasts. Too bad, since Kurylenko is the one watchable woman in Max Payne, and Mila Kunis, the ostensible tough-girl lead, is not up to the task. She has only a pout where her sexual swagger should be, and she doesn't meet the action-movie rule that a mysterious villainess-heroine should be at least as tall as a runway model (which Kurylenko...

...chest skin tanned to a rich Corinthian leather; he's still lithe on his feet, and can deliver a wisecrack as sharp as a whipcrack. Karen Allen, 56, who was Indy's saucy love Marion Ravenwood in Raiders, still has that glittering smile and vestiges of her old elfin swagger. They needn't break a sweat keeping up with the (relative) kids: 39-year-old Cate Blanchett, the movie's villainess, and Shia LaBeouf, who plays the young lead Mutt Williams, and who may be tapped to continue the series after Ford's retirement - at least that's what Lucas...

...former President Bill Clinton opened his office here to great fanfare; last year the American Planning Association named it one of America's 10 Greatest Streets. But councilman Charles Barron, an opponent of rezoning, argues that the influx of major retailers has sanitized the neighborhood. "Harlem had a swagger to it," he says. "It no longer is the mecca of black America...
