...narrative thread follows Hitch’s newest project: shy accountant Albert (Kevin James) as he tries to woo Paris Hilton-but-smart-like heiress Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta) as it parallels Hitch’s own relationship with gossip columnist Sara (the perpetually sultry Eva Mendes...
...hotel industry, with one chain after another firing shots to claim the title for the industry's most comfortable bed. The latest challenger: Marriott International, which announced last month that it was spending $190 million to replace 628,000 beds in 2,400 hotels with plusher mattresses and 300-thread-count sheets.

As you thread through a cryptlike corridor, the revving motors and shouts of Israeli Yael Bartana's Kings of the Hill hit you before the work itself: it's a record of teenagers racing old cars up and down Tel Aviv sand dunes well into the night. At times it's almost abstract, with headlights filling the screen and engines roaring. You could read some political message into the struggling cars, as you could into Turk Fikret Atay's Rebels of the Dance, which shows two boys dancing...
