...seemed to have a diviner's rod that led him toward powerful men and big stories. In 1931, on vacation in Munich, he stumbled onto a street speech by a local spellbinder: Adolf Hitler, two years before the Third Reich came to power. In 1936 Cooke wandered into an alley during Harvard's tricentennial celebration and saw two Secret Service men lean into a limo and lift out the polio-stricken "Franklin Roosevelt, inert as a sack of potatoes." In 1968 he was at the Ambassador Hotel when Robert Kennedy was shot, and filed one of the sharpest, coolest reports...
...feel. In the glitter of her huge doe eyes we recognize the docility of a character who, at first, is neither radical nor rebel. When Carol Dexter (Amy Ryan), a prostitute imprisoned in the same mental asylum, tells Christine, “I had two abortions by back-alley doctors. I didn’t have a choice to fight for my kids...don’t stop,” we see the beginnings of determination working in the very way Jolie holds herself. It’s a good thing Jolie’s performance is so solid...
...Obama set up a row of false choices to knock down like so many bowling pins - though this time his arm was better than it was back at the Altoona bowling alley earlier this year.

Alas, this flash of wit is just another tease. Natasha is soon killed in an alley by unseen flying beasts. Too bad, since Kurylenko is the one watchable woman in Max Payne, and Mila Kunis, the ostensible tough-girl lead, is not up to the task. She has only a pout where her sexual swagger should be, and she doesn't meet the action-movie rule...
...bats. The mascara-streaked faces and torn clothes are reminiscent of MJ’s “Thriller,” except these girls are a bit livelier. The emotional, “love bi-polar” brides are absolutely terrifying as they chase Alexander down an alley. I’m surprised the little boy didn’t start to cry. But please note, ladies: I do think that Katy Perry steals her boy back with her crazy dance moves. She’s particularly stellar when she is surrounded by her crazy brides. However, it?...
