The EET movie review of “No Reservations” gives it a positive rating. With Catherine Zeta-Jones in the lead, playing Kate, a chef whose perfectionism often drives herself and her friends to the edge.
Aaron Eckhart as Nick and Abigail Breslin as Zoe play a good role in this movie. As in the conclusion of the review, “There’s something about the “feel-good” sensation that is missing from most films today.”

Giving it three stars out of five, ET reporter James Carroll calls “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” as “based on the worst tome in J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series.”
James says that the movie now has a focus on the central character – Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter – and less on the others who he says have been sidelined.
But that hasn’t stopped Harry Potter from topping the box office…
Death Threat From Columbia University Chinese Students Club July 14, 2007

Talk about going overboard: Columbia University’s Chinese student organization (CUCSSA) has made a death threat against members of the Falun Gong club at the university.
Falun Gong is a Chinese meditation practice that a lot of people around the world practice for better health – they can often be seen in parks around the U.S. Unfortunately, this is being banned and persecute in mainland China by the Communist regime there, and it appears that the Communists are trying to export their persecution overseas through student groups.
The CUCSSA report talks about how after a complaint made against them for religious discrimination against Falun Gong, CUCSSA’s executive board posted a death threat on their website with the following words:
“Anyone who offends China will be executed no matter how far away they are!”
This follows the earlier report where CUCSSA members had threatened to use “seas of flags dyed in blood” to disrupt the human rights forum organized by Falun Gong practitioners in April.
