...iconic California zip code, in the form of grownups with character arcs, lead cast members of color you can't get in a tanning booth, recreational YouTubing and espresso drinks. "Fans of the original show will be taken aback at first," says Jennie Garth, returning as Kelly Taylor, now a guidance counselor at West Beverly High and a single mom. Those who remember Kelly's date rape, diet-pill addiction, amnesia, miscarriage, cult membership and house-fire episodes will be glad to know her biggest problem now is finding love. Despite a series finale kiss with Dylan McKay that seemed...
Another inevitable update is technological. In 1990, West Beverly students ever so rarely talked into brick-sized black boxes which archaeologists now identify as early cell phones. In 2008, new character Erin Silver (Jessica Stroup) - half-sister of Kelly Taylor and David Silver, and classmate of Annie and Dixon - is a YouTube sensation with a popular video diary...

The construction downturn slowed growth in Britain to an anemic 0.2% in the second quarter of this year, the lowest quarter-on-quarter rate for three years...
...director, Randall Miller, and his screenwriters exercise an apparently irresistible urge to turn a curious little historical footnote into a tangled vineyard of clichés. Does Barrett have a slacker son (Chris Pine), who needs to learn responsibility? Check. Is there a comely intern named Sam (Rachel Taylor) for him to fall in love with? Double check. Does he have a rival for his affections in Gustavo (Freddy Rodriquez), who also happens to be a promising (and very soulful) vintner himself? Triple check. You can bet that crisis comes to the Barretts, in the form of an apparent failure...
