...Will communist cinema still dominate once private studios gear up? The government thinks it has the winning formula. Its next big production is Luoi Troi (Heaven's Net), which chronicles the lavish spending of corrupt officials and criminals. Hoang, who as a state employee, makes less than $100 a month, is already thinking like a Hollywood mogul-he's penning a sequel, Bar Girls 2.

...actor in a play who quietly leaves the stage after a sublime performance before the audience can erupt into applause, the show closed gracefully, without heralding or fanfare, bang or whimper. In the final scene, the seven crew members who had meant most to the show--Jean Luc, Deanna Troi, Whorf, Data, Geordi, Commander Riker, and Dr. Crusher--sat around a table after escaping their hairiest adventure ever, playing cards and talking over life. It was an elegant exit and the essence of good art, leaving me, and I'm sure all watching, wanting more...
