...guilt, the self-destructive drinking, drugging and sexual outlawry that sully his path to pop icon status, the bum musical trips - his adored brother may have been an authentic musical prodigy that Dewey dimly needs to emulate - that threaten his career. You've been here before, of course, with Walk the Line and Ray, to name only the most recent biopics about the trials and triumphs of pop-music icons. These movies, ritualistically recycling their subjects' most famous hits and their more infamous falls from behavioral grace, provide the last sentimental postscripts to their subjects' celebrity arcs. They have...
...villa in the sun is many people's dream. Almost too many - it's frustratingly un-exclusive these days. To stand out, you want one designed by Norman Foster, nestled in a palm-tree jungle and within a short walk of a white-sand Indian Ocean beach, an 18 hole golf course and a five-star hotel with a spa and top-class restaurants. You want, in other words, Corniche Bay, a development of 115 such villas and a 75-bedroom hotel on the secluded southwestern tip of Mauritius. It's one of a few high-end resorts...
...decision leaves little doubt that the Bush Administration, with a year left in office, has no interest in meeting environmentalists halfway - or perhaps, at all.

Houses are more human-sized, in part because the designs create vibrant, walkable public spaces, where people can eat, work and have fun. The explosion of the American house - up from 1,385 sq. ft. on average in 1972 to 2,140 sq. ft. in 2000, while the average number of people living in it has decreased - is, in Duany's view...
...quoted ad nauseum by insipid snots that haunt the arcade in the lobby of your local theater. So the quality of Apatow’s work only means so much to its intended audience. But is the film any good? That’s trickier.“Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” plays exactly what you’d expect: another ironically hyperbolic tall-tale comedy that happens to poke fun at other movies…just without Will Ferrell. Reilly can field jokes as Dewey Cox, the loveable dolt who happens to be a musical...
