Seat-of-the-pants wedding preparations (Athens Review Online) - My wife-to-be wants me to trim my eyebrows. Now that's bad enough for someone whose idea of primping is putting on a clean T-shirt, but this getting ready for the wedding got even weirder Saturday night when some guy told me I needed a seat adjustment.

Movie review: 'Whale Rider' (Metromix.com) - "Whale Rider" is a far different film from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Bend It Like Beckham," but it proves a similar point: The more culturally specific a story is, the more universal it may turn out to be.
