...single biggest influence on dancing in today's videos is Michael Jackson. Most clips follow the format he perfected in his epic 1983 video Thriller: a single dancer out front, with a phalanx of dancers in the rear echoing his steps. Still, Landon, Henson and Robinson have all conjured up moments of vibrant originality. Henson's work tends to be punchy and blunt, Landon's playfully carnal, Robinson's fluidly urban. In the video (You Drive Me) Crazy, Henson has a captivating phrase in which Spears rotates on a chair, her legs splayed, projecting both sensuality and repose. Fatima...
WebSwap, on the other hand, lets folks mail one another directly. It's the biggest barter site on the Web, with people hawking everything from a half-full bottle of Prell to a flock of sheep. I listed a dozen items, including the latest Patricia Cornwell thriller, a Beatles CD and three Star Trek movies, but for some reason I couldn't manage a single trade in a month.

...season does have its innovations. James Cameron's sleek sci-fi thriller, Dark Angel (Fox, Tuesdays, 9 p.m., starts Oct. 3), introduces buzz magnet Jessica Alba. On NBC's endearingly oddball Ed (Sundays, 8 p.m., begins Oct. 8), a lawyer moves back to his hometown, buys a bowling alley and courts his high school crush. And teen-TV satire Grosse Pointe (The WB, Fridays, 8:30 p.m., bows Sept. 22) looks like nasty fun. Are sitcoms and dramas back? Well, at least until Survivor returns, with its clones, to vote them off the island...
...evidence of Flint (Putnam; 338 pages; $24.95), Eddy's first novel, everyone had better hope the answer is no. This slickly paced thriller postulates a conspiracy, called the Enterprise, between rogue elements in British and U.S. intelligence. These powerful, shadowy mavericks shake down high-rolling international crooks for big protection money and then use their law-enforcement connections to make sure the bad guys get away with their misdeeds. Which is how Grace Flint, on an undercover assignment from New Scotland Yard, gets her lovely face stomped in and many bones in her equally winning body broken during a blown...
...blood of the women he beds and kills. Now he wants to be human, although he realizes that falling in love means an end to his predatory life. From its first shot, of a mangled car high up in the branches of a tree, this cool, handsome thriller proceeds with an elliptical elegance. Leong is the compassionate surgeon operating on a disease called longing. And Law is the scalpel that loves what it cuts open...
