...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...
...miracle of New Urbanism is its simplicity. Duany has designed whole towns under the movement's principles - like Seaside, Fla., or Kentlands, Md. - and to walk their streets is to be transported back decades, before McMansions and SUVs.

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...
...were watching the movie version of the terrorism trial that ended Thursday in Miami, Fla., you might walk out around the time the seven suspects take an oath to al-Qaeda in a warehouse. The scene would feel so contrived, such a low-budget mockumentary of itself, that you might not be able to stomach another second...
