'Enduring Love' not a film just full of hot air

November 29

The opening of the novel and screenplay of "Enduring Love" is the scene of a lover's picnic on the English countryside interrupted by a tragic hot air balloon accident. While this scene does dictate the plot of the story - one of obsession and breakdown - an interruption that is far more telling of the rest of the film is when the story's stalker pops up at his stalkee's private lunch and cautiously coos, "We can't keep meeting like this."

It looks like it's a right of passage for every sports columnist this side of Beijing to write about the Nov. 19 skirmish between Detroit Pistons fans and members of the Indiana Pacers. It's understandable though, because this was a bit different than usual brawls, which look more like scenes from West Side Story.
