Nicole Kidman To Star In New Monte Carlo Film
By Henri Boulanger-7925
Australian actress Nicole Kidman, the epitome of Hollywood glamour and once famously described after a role in a London stage play as 'theatrical viagra' is set to produce and star in a new romantic comedy for the big screen set in Monaco, and titled appropriately enough 'Monte Carlo'.
The new film will offer cinema goers not only Nicole's fantastic acting abilities and beauty, but also the splendour of one of the world's hottest tourist attractions. Directed by Tom Bezucha, filming the adaptation of the comedy novel 'Headhunters' has experienced fits and starts for more than a year prior to Kidman heading off to Monaco recently.
Monte Carlo, known for the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, the Hotel de Paris in Casino Square and other luxury hotels in Monte Carlo, the sandy beaches facing the Mediterranean, will enthrall viewers from around the world as Nicole struts her stuff in her latest role, a romantic comedy about a teacher who takes a vacation with her friends in Paris and ends up pretending to be a wealthy woman vacationing in Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo is best known for its elegant casinos and glamour, a hot spot for movie stars and tourists since former Hollywood actress Grace Kelly put Monte Carlo and Monaco on the world map. Since then, Monte Carlo and Monaco have become the getaway for the stars, as well as home to celebrities from around the world due in large part to her tax haven status.
Divided into four quarters, Monaco is a tiny principality, the second smallest country in the world, that manages to attract visitors from around the world every year, many who come for business, though the vast majority come to see her pristine beach fronts, to gamble and to enjoy some of the best dining found in the world.
Monaco is home to world class opera and theatre, such as the Grand Theatre de Monte Carlo, as well as the Monte Carlos Masters golf championship, car shows and of course, fashion. As a resort, Monaco and Monte Carlo come in second to none, and were made even more popular with the James Bond films created in the 1960s.
Monte Carlo and Monaco have provided backgrounds and settings for dozens of movies, both those filmed from Hollywood as well as film companies
China: Humiliation & the Olympics
After a century and a half of famine, war, weakness, foreign occupation, and revolutionary extremism, a growing number of Chinese have come to look to the Olympic Games as the long-heralded symbolic moment when their country might at last escape old stereotypes of being the hapless "poor man of Asia"; a preyed-upon "defenseless giant"; victim of a misguided Cultural Revolution; the benighted land where in 1989 the People's Liberation Army fired on "the people." In one grand, symbolic stroke, the

The Battle for a Country's Soul
Seven years after al-Qaeda's attacks on America, as the Bush administration slips into history, it is clear that what began on September 11, 2001, as a battle for America's security became, and continues to be, a battle for the country's soul.

The Devastation of Iraq's Past
Since the looting of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad in April 2003, the international press has accorded considerable space to the country's imperiled ancient heritage. Much of this coverage, however, has been devoted to the museum, the impressive campaign to recover its stolen works, and the continued struggle to reopen its galleries. Only occasional, anecdotal reports—mostly from the first year of the conflict—have borne witness to large-scale plunder of archaeological sites, to which t

Embedded in Iraq
The embed had proved surprisingly easy to arrange. No one had objected to the three New York Review articles I had sent in as samples of my work. On the application form, I had written that I wanted to visit a typical Baghdad neighborhood to see how the surge was working and to get a sense of what more had to be done before the US could begin to draw down its forces in any significant number. Though I didn't say it, I also wanted to see what the embedding process itself was like.
