  New England - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The name New England dates to the earliest days of European settlement: in 1616 Captain John Smith described the area in a pamphlet "New England." The name was officially sanctioned in 1620 by the grant of King James I to the Plymouth Council for New England.
The confederation was designed largely to coordinate mutual defense against the Dutch in the New Netherland colony to the south and the French in New France to the north, as well as to enforce the return of runaway slaves.
New England is also the setting for most of the gothic horror stories of H.P. Lovecraft, mostly because he lived his life in Providence, Rhode Island.

 City Journal Autumn 1997 | New York’s Million Missing Jobs by Stephen G. Craig, D. Andrew Austin
New jobs, proliferating in the other major U.S. urban centers, are not springing up in New York, which bodes ill for the city's long-term ability to sustain its bloated public sector.
New York's basic service budget is only 14.8 percent of the total budget (after subtracting utilities and education for comparability), compared with 30.5 percent for the average city in the EandMW.
New York spends a similarly disproportionate $494 per capita on "expenditures not elsewhere classified," a grab bag of goods and services completely outside the expenditure pattern for typical local governments—everything from crime-victim compensation to services to senior citizens who are not poor.

 Filmtracks: Autumn in New York (Gabriel Yared)
Autumn in New York might not be for everyone; Message in a Bottle, while equally sad in the end, used its orchestral and choral power to overcome that downing nature on the album.
In contrast, Autumn in New York is heavier on the emotion and lighter on the mass, allowing it to simply fade off into nothingness at the end.
At any rate, Gabriel Yared, although a veteran of 25 years in the scoring industry, is continuing to impress audiences with his recent scores for top-rate American films.

 Autumn in New York
Autumn in New York did not have the benefit of critics seeing it beforehand, which baffled stars Richard Gere and Winona Ryder.
The main thing going against Autumn in New York is that both Keane and Fieldling, and Gere and Ryder have little chemistry together.
Her New York is an ideal place, little resembling reality.

 City Journal Autumn 2000 | Why Gotham’s Developers Don’t Develop by William J. Stern
At a time when New York manufacturing employment (much of it low-paying) was already beginning its long decline, they zoned whole sections of the city for manufacturing.
This political and regulatory rigamarole is a major reason building a high rise in New York costs 17 percent more than in nearby Jersey City and 31 percent more than in Atlanta, and that it takes five years to put up a structure that would take 18 months to build elsewhere in the region.
New York could do it, too—though, given the fate of Rose's mild reforms, it would take truly determined political leadership to pull it off.

 SPLICEDwire | "Autumn In New York" review (2000)
In "Autumn In New York," terminally tumor-bound Winona Ryder and her seriously senior lover Richard Gere have a whole conversation about what it means to be "unique" as opposed to "typical."
But having seen "Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl," Chen's daring, accomplished and deeply moving Chinese-language directorial debut -- a labor of love shot clandestinely in China that resulted in her banishment from the country -- I can't help but be disappointed that she would even sign on to a movie this weightless and cloying.
"Autumn In New York" plays like every reel has been dipped in heavy syrup before it was loaded onto the projector.

This model contrasts sharply with the old idea that any piece of information in the mind could be accessed by any other cognitive process (optical illusions, for example, cannot be "turned off" even when they are known to be illusions).
Chomsky’s reaction to the September 11th, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington DC were widely criticized from people on different sides of the political spectrum.
In addition, the news media are dependent on government institutions and major businesses with strong biases as sources (the third filter) for much of their information.

 washingtonpost.com: Entertainment Guide
But there's no need for a hankie when it comes to "Autumn in New York," a laughable, romantic melodrama with waif Winona Ryder and grizzled Richard Gere.
Directed by Joan Chen and written by Allison Burnett ("Bleeding Heart"), the picture is a veritable bouquet of ardent cliches and witless sentiments reminiscent of "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Quite the contrary, love means saying you're sorry a thousand times over.
Then again such notions are never inscribed on valentines, and "Autumn in New York" is a lot like a red satin box of cheap chocolates.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Autumn in New York
Autumn in New York is only the latest entry in a rather dire and tired Hollywood formula: the tale of a rouge who mends his ways.
As the movie is called Autumn in New York, it does shows the occasional leaves, even though it looks like it was shot in late summer.
Then autumn turns to winter, and it's clear that the movie couldn't contain itself, having to display more seasons than the one listed in the title.

Well, "Autumn in New York" isn't the worst movie ever, but it is sappy and melodramatic.

Divulging any more would give away too much, but suffice it to say there are some major hanky moments.

 I LOVE NEW YORK Autumn Travel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
This year’s foliage season was highly unusual; color change was delayed in just about every area of the state, colors were generally muted and many areas started losing significant amounts of leaves on some trees while nearby trees remained completely green.
I LOVE NEW YORK defines “peak” foliage as the absolute best time to view the changing colors, and, as was the case this year, some years’ peak periods are less impressive than other years.
This is the final I LOVE NEW YORK Fall Foliage report for 2005.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Autumn in New York"
What's fascinating about "Autumn in New York," which was written by a woman (Allison Burnett) and directed by a woman (the actress Joan Chen), is that the first half of this romance seems to delight in rubbing the audience's nose in just this sort of movie pairing that drives some people mad.

Desperately eager to register as a love affair in the mold of Hollywood's classics, Joan Chen's tediously sappy romantic mellermeller is a kind of modern-day "Love Story," with a "new" twist: The casting of Richard GereRichard Gere as a suave lover old enough to be Winona RyderWinona Ryder's father.
Protagonists of both pics are young, attractive and ailing women (Minnie Driver in the first), living with their grandparents (paternal in Hunt's pic, maternal in new one) who, despite their better judgment, fall head over heels in love.
Rather peculiarly, "Autumn in New York" also fails to exploit its other obvious locale, a modish restaurant: There are no enticing food-preparation acts, and sequences in the kitchen are poorly directed.

Cinematically, New York City has rarely looked more beautiful; this is not the city of "West Side Story," but a lyrical land of myriad colors and picturesque vistas.
Although "Autumn in New York" sounds like a potentially sizzling soap opera, it's actually another one of those mopey melodramas in which the central couple spends considerably more time taking lonely walks through the city and asking "what about our relationship?" than they do savoring the sweeter things in life.
She hasn't had any luck lighting a fire under Gere, who spends most of the movie either trying desperately to look fascinated by Ryder or closing his eyes softly and turning his head slightly to express grief.

The problem with this movie is that we know Winona Ryder's character is going to die extremely early on in the movie, thus we are already predicting a supposedly emotional death, and when the death does come, it's anything but emotional because we've waited over an hour of the film for it to happen.
