...Jake Ryan.We can see more clearly Jake’s struggle not to be tied down to the older, more womanly Caroline, who might have possibly wanted marriage. Marriage is in fact one of the biggest jokes in the whole movie. In the film’s beguiling worldview, young infatuation is pure and real, unsullied by the nuptial-obsession of elders (Caroline, Sam’s family). We can appreciate Ringwald’s youthful charm and honesty anew, and see how she stands head-and-shoulders above the curent crop of teen movie queens/Maxim models...
...Connections, not cash, will allow Tom.com to butt heads with much bigger rivals. Li's principal advantage is his ability to make nice with the Chinese government in ways that AOL Time Warner and News Corp., purveyors of Western programming and news that does not match Beijing's worldview, cannot.

The two men, Abubakar Ba'asyir and Riduan Isamuddin, better known as Hambali, preached a radical new vision of Islam, heavily influenced by the worldview of Osama bin Laden, a man Hambali claimed to have met personally on two occasions. The militant clerics found a receptive audience among many KMM members, government officials say, focusing their attention on a KMM branch in the state of Selangor, outside the capital Kuala Lumpur...
...have a good time, doesn’t mean he has to ruin it for everyone else, and tells him not to inflict his misery on the rest of the world. Rather than develop characters and move the story, Solondz would rather caricature detractors of his bleak worldview, and one is left wondering why even indulge them? There is even a sequence in Oxman’s documentary that is a send-up of American Beauty, where Oxman comments over images of the New Jersey suburbs that there is beauty in a lamp post. Here again, Solondz?...
