WHO’LL WATCH THE WATCHMEN? EVERYBODY

THE INTERNATIONAL: NOW WHAT?

There’s a shootout at the Guggenheim Museum in the middle of The International that’s about as cheery a spectacle as an action film can offer. One minute a cathedral hush prevails in Frank Lloyd Wright’s creamy architectural spiral, …

New Year’s Greetings From Russia’s Provincial Carmen Elektra

This hussie, named Karina Barbie, is hugely popular in Russia, a kind of low provincial Carmen Elektra. She’s originally from the central Kazakh town of Karaganda, which is a euphemism in Russian for “backwater.” Buck-toothed and head slightly askew, it’s …
