...movie that essentially lays his career before him, Van Damme lets his character emerge gradually, evolving continually until the final, defining monologue. Mechanically lifted above the set, he turns to face the camera and deliver the speech that has been slowly brewing throughout the movie. Van Damme leaves beneath him the heist situation in which he has become embroiled, reflecting on his troubled life up to that point: the custody battle for his daughter (in real life, his son), his long history of drug use and money troubles, the pains of getting old. Weathered and physically beaten, shot...
...sterilization. The most lasting surreality Vargalas experiences is a frozen city through which he alone moves, caught in a stillness that, he believes, allowed “Them” inside. Their fated romance echoes Vilnius’ last breath of air, before it’s shut beneath the gray exterior of a Soviet sarcophagus.

...activated areas of the brain receive more blood and more oxygen, the optical properties [of the brain tissue] change," says Luu. "This allows us to infer the pattern of activity beneath." As it turned out, they inferred very well. Blood flow was not a perfect predictor, but fully 80% of the time, the pattern on the brain monitor did suggest the preferences the subjects had indicated earlier...
...Like everywhere else on this border, mistrust lies just beneath what is meant to be an open exchange. In that way, Petrapole is no different from Panidhar. Here, the suspicion is out in the open. After dark, no one leaves their houses, or they risk getting stopped by the BSF, who have orders to shoot if threatened. On my way back to the main road with my BSF escorts, two men cross our paths. "They're Bangladeshi," one officer says. And they send them on their way. There's an unusual feature of the Ichamati River here: every six hours...
