Oddly, it's the burly action movies, usually the dominant genre, that fell out of recent audience favor. The otherworldly Daybreakers and Legion have underperformed, as has Mel Gibson's comeback revenge vehicle Edge of Darkness. And although $30 million isn't a bad start for Benicio Del Toro as Wolfman, the picture will need long legs, here and abroad, to earn back its husky $125 budget. Only Sherlock Holmes ($204 million) and The Book of Eli (which will hit $100 million before it's finished) have capitalized on blood and fisticuffs. Indeed, depending on whether you count Avatar...

...first thing we did was check how many friends (or “followers,” in Buzz lingo) we had. 29! Not bad.

...Still, no one's Olympic uniform is more confounding than Hubertus von Hohenlohe's. "It sounds strange," von Hohenlohe admits while relaxing in an Olympic Village coffee shop before the Mexican flag-raising event. "But it's not all that bad." The skier's grandmother is half-Mexican, and von Hohenlohe, who is a Vienna-based singer and photographer when he's not speeding down the slopes, was born in Mexico City while his father was running a Volkswagen plant there. "We always wanted to have one member of the family [who was] Mexican," he says. "So they chose that...

People who fall into homelessness say it feels like a spiral. A layoff, a medical emergency or a domestic quarrel sets off a chain reaction of bad luck. And the risk of falling into the economic abyss has increased, even in better times. Writing before the housing bubble burst and Wall Street collapsed, Yale political scientist Jacob Hacker showed that the big difference between 30 years ago and today is the dramatic growth in income volatility. American family incomes now rise and fall much more sharply from year to year, and this is happening at the same time that public...
