Venture capitalist: that’s the misleading job description preferred by the title character of the slight and silly “Wendell Baker Story.” Wendell (Luke Wilson), a cheerful Texan slacker, runs a profitable operation on the Tex-Mex border selling fake driver’s licenses to illegal migrant workers. Written by Luke Wilson, who directed with his older brother Andrew, it also stars a third brother, Owen, as Wendell’s nemesis. But if you like Lyle Lovett songs, Thomas McGuane novels and sardonic country yarns sung by grizzled Texan “outlaws,” you’ll have no trouble slipping into its easygoing groove, fortified by its country-rock soundtrack. The attractive stranger at the airport bar hears one version, the parole officer another, and the P.T.A. board gets something entirely different. 

He said he worries they will end up as poor, illiterate traders like him. (This may be why I liked it better than the others. If ever a movie had a case of the blues and the blahs, it’s “Spider-Man 3,” the third and what feels like the end of Sam Raimi’s big-screen comic-book adaptations. kommazone nosmime-archive888megatron.ietf.orgmo The story this time unfolds as a series of increasingly dreary and teary melodramatic encounters regularly interrupted by special-effects-laden fights. 

The bittersweet aspects of the film add texture, though they can't supplant the lack of comedy; there were more laughs in Ice Cube's last picture, "Torque." The cinematographer, Sean Kirby, has done some striking work here. Big Momma's House gained considerable pre-production publicity when Lawrence fell into a coma while jogging in a heat wave before the film's start date; Lawrence claimed that he was trying to lose weight to fit more comfortably into his character's "fat suit."  Venture capitalist: that’s the misleading job description preferred by the title character of the slight and silly “Wendell Baker Story.” Wendell (Luke Wilson), a cheerful Texan slacker, runs a profitable operation on the Tex-Mex border selling fake driver’s licenses to illegal migrant workers. The appeal of “The Wendell Baker Story” depends on how charming you find the Wilson brothers, with their chipmunk grins and hip smart-aleck attitude.

For my taste, a little goes a long way. Moreover, the tone, the lessons, even the facts in a life story can all shift in the changing light of a person’s mood, its major notes turning minor, its depths appearing shallow.

By better understanding how life stories are built, this work suggests, people may be able to alter their own narrative, in small ways and perhaps large ones. Over the years, Dr.McAdams and others have interviewed hundreds of men and women, most in their 30s and older. By contrast, so-called generative adults — those who score highly on tests measuring civic-mindedness, and who are likely to be energetic and involved — tend to see many of the events in their life in the reverse order, as linked by themes of redemption. Depending on the person, the story itself might be nuanced or simplistic, powerfully dramatic or cloyingly pious. Adler reported on 180 adults from the Chicago area who had recently completed a course of talk therapy. Yet Mr.Adler found that in fact those former patients who scored highest on measures of well-being — who had recovered, by standard measures — told very similar tales about their experiences. “The story is one of victorious battle: ‘I ended therapy because I could overcome this on my own,’ ” Mr.Adler said.

To them, therapy was part of a continuing adaptation, not a decisive battle. Mental resilience relies in part on exactly this kind of autobiographical storytelling, moment to moment, when navigating life’s stings and sorrows. “What our experiment showed is that this shift in perspective, having this distance from yourself, allows you to relive the experience and focus on why you’re feeling upset,” instead of being immersed in it, said Ethan Kross, the study’s lead author.

I was once a vegan. Nutritionists used to speak of proteins as “first class” (from meat, fish, eggs and milk) and “second class” (from plants), but today this is considered denigrating to vegetarians.

This is not true of plant proteins, which are inferior in quantity and quality — even soy. A vegan diet may lack vitamin B12, found only in animal foods; usable vitamins A and D, found in meat, fish, eggs and butter; and necessary minerals like calcium and zinc. A vegan diet is equally dangerous for weaned babies and toddlers, who need plenty of protein and calcium. This fragmentation of the American menu reflects admirable diversity and tolerance, but food is more important than fashion. An expansion of provision improved opportunities for many young Australians, but equality of experience would be eroded if a clear hierarchy of institutions emerged. Another thing you once told me, while we were driving to an airport in the early 1990s: ‘I would like,’ you said, rather tentatively – because I think you were horrified at the idea of appearing self-important – ‘to write something of significance one day’. As a result, the University of Melbourne sits only a few hundred metres from campuses of both Monash and La Trobe universities; the outer suburb of Bundoora is home to two university campuses replicating similar facilities; and a university based in Geelong has its largest campus in eastern Melbourne.

As she considers Cassab’s life story (migration to Australia in 1951, having lost her mother, grandmother, uncle and other family members in Auschwitz), and those of a generation of Holocaust refugees, Niall is acutely aware of the human cost of the Howard government’s policy on detention centres and shocked by its ‘scant respect for the rights of refugees’ Asthma kept her indoors, close to her mother. Despite billions spent on the problem, all that changed was the name of the state power company.

Adhama used to employ 330 workers in his workshops in the 1980s, but now he has just 24 employees as he tries to restart his business. He said the blame for the country’s dilapidated condition lay with its leaders.

And then when we come to vote them out of office for their misdeeds, they hijack that as well.” He said life now was in many ways worse than it was under military rule — there was more crime, less order. The one real improvement is the ability to freely speak his mind, Mr. Instead they go to a Koranic school, where they learn the Koran by rote. Which is only to say that “Shrek the Third,” directed by Chris Miller and Raman Hui from a script with a half-dozen credited begetters, already feels less like a children’s movie than either of its predecessors. But then again, so did my kids.) A movie featuring Ice Cube bellowing "No more profanity The director Robinson Devor apparently would like viewers who watch his heavily reconstructed documentary, “Zoo,” to see it as a story of ineluctable desire and human dignity.

In this comedy, a cop assumes a new identity in his valiant battle against crime: an elderly grandmother. However, the house is owned by Big Momma (Ella Mitchell), an older woman with a sharp tongue and no patience for back talk, and when Big Momma has to leave town, it leaves her house suspiciously empty. Written by Luke Wilson, who directed with his older brother Andrew, it also stars a third brother, Owen, as Wendell’s nemesis.

Moreover, the tone, the lessons, even the facts in a life story can all shift in the changing light of a person’s mood, its major notes turning minor, its depths appearing shallow.

And a burst of new findings are now helping them make the case. YouTube routines notwithstanding, most people do not begin to see themselves in the midst of a tale with a beginning, middle and eventual end until they are teenagers. In analyzing the texts, the researchers found strong correlations between the content of people’s current lives and the stories they tell. Those with mood problems have many good memories, but these scenes are usually tainted by some dark detail. With the decline of manufacturing and few formal jobs, many residents make a meager living off one another’s misery. He makes about $2 a day, and cannot afford to send his sons to school. Will he take over his father-in-law’s business or remain true to his vocation of bellowing and smashing things?

 Unless the Shrek team wants to follow its hero into the dangerous swamps of mid-life, thus shifting his literary pedigree away from William Steig and in the direction of John Updike or Philip Roth, it may want to leave him in a condition of more-or-less happily ever after. After exploring the predominance of violence in American culture in Bowling for Columbine and taking a critical look at the September 11th attacks in Fahrenheit 9/11, activist filmmaker Michael Moore turns his attentions towards the topic of health care in the United States in this documentary that weighs the plight of the uninsured against the record profits of the pharmaceutical industry. As it happens, the over-all shape does recall a Busby Berkeley musical — snappy story, lavish number, snappy story, lavish number — but without the snap or fun.

Ice Cube returns as star and executive producer of "Barbershop 2." His Calvin Palmer provides the common sense that holds the shop together, a glue it desperately needs. Shot on Super 16-millimeter film, with many scenes steeped in a blue that would have made Yves Klein envious, “Zoo” is, to a large extent, about the rhetorical uses of beauty and metaphor and of certain filmmaking techniques like slow-motion photography.
