| Tokyo Sends An Official Review for Spider-Man 3
I don't want to build up the hype train too much for Spider-Man 3, but hearing two fans rave about the film and then having an official report to back them up is hard to pass up.
Spider-Man 3 Screening Report
The screening reports yesterday claimed that Spider-Man 3 was the best Spidy installment yet. Things were off to a good start, but sometimes fans can get a bit over-excited. Fortunately, the official press is beginning to announce their own opinions of the third Spider-Man installment and they so far agree.
Reuters delivers a report straight from Tokyo:
"Spider-Man 3" is packed with stunning special effects such as the crumbling, morphing Sandman and an evil black suit that brings out a person's dark side, but the characters also show a psychological complexity rarely seen in action movies.

Spain and Iraq, Four Years On
Former Prime Minister Aznar dragged Spain into a war of aggression by the United States and the United Kingdom against Iraq. Shortly afterwards, his political party lost the elections thanks to Spain's illegal and damaging behaviour. But the final account has yet to be squared. Hundreds of thousands of dead, millions of refugees, a country wiped out over four years (and counting) demand that the Azores photo-op be repeated, but this time with the same actors in the dock before a tribunal for crimes against humanity. Prime Minister Zapatero helped Spain avoid the moral collapse and political and military failure that the United States has sought out in Iraq. In better keeping with its international weight and with the old tactic of lighting one candle for God and another for the devil, he abandoned his predecessor's imperialist dream and limited himself to proposing to the world an alliance of civilizations--while sending troops to Afghanistan and Lebanon.
Highland Capital set for a booming Gaelic future?
IT is hard to predict how Inverness will change over the next 30 years — will Inverness Caledonian Thistle be playing Barcelona in the Champions League? Will holidaymakers be able to fly direct from Dalcross Airport to New York? And will motorists be able to drive from Inverness to Perth in less than one hour? .

If you go down to the woods, you're sure of a big surprise
IT'S not as though it's quiet . . . far from it. From every angle your ears are assailed by largely unfamiliar noises. High up in the tree canopies an entire orchestra of birds signal their presence through song. Beneath them in the undergrowth the chorus is frequently interrupted by pheasants screeching periodically as they forage on the forest floor, or even yards from your own front door. .
