...Like American director Spike Jonze, Tan cut his teeth on music videos, and that pedigree shows in the hip-hop numbers that punctuate the film. He mixes documentary realism with dream sequences, rapid montages, video-game graphics, even a darkly comedic animated scene called "Suicide Manual," in which a typical-looking Singaporean kid offs himself in ever more creative?and bloody?ways. Despite his experimental forays, Tan knows when to let the camera linger on the faces of his young actors and wait for the pain to surface. With its white skies and overexposed tropical light, his Singapore...
...three years' probation, fined $240 and ordered to perform 12 days of community service. Aulaqi - who declined through an intermediary to comment for this story - had another brush with law enforcement when he was interviewed several times by FBI agents investigating 9/11. Says one official: "It was like pullling teeth." But with no evidence of criminal activity, the FBI could not prevent him from leaving the United States...
...dotted with iridescent green cannabis. Villa Garcia peers down the path. Is that a black bear--a common local species--emerging from the morning mist?

They responded by lowering prices to stimulate demand, cutting back production and staying resolutely local. Thus, while a country like the Netherlands exports more than half...
Orlando Bloom is multitasking. He chomps his way through a green apple, then flosses his teeth and flirts with a makeup artist - all while philosophizing about his "craft," noting the absence of reality in an actor's life and lamenting the homesickness that can hit, even here in sunny Malta, where he's filming Troy - Wolfgang Petersen's adaptation of the Iliad. Mid-floss, Bloom pauses, cocks his head, smiles and says: "But I'm 26. I'm in the prime of my life. What do I have to complain about?" Not much. No star is rising faster than...
