...also the 27th top worldwide grosser in film history, so here comes Angels: same star, director, producer (Brian Grazer) and scripter (abetted this time by David Koepp). Also the same approach: it's a movie, so we'd better feign movement. The back-history in which Langdon is an expert requires Hanks to speak dialogue with its own footnotes, so Howard camouflages the static nature of enterprise by having his star spout arcana while rushing from church to church. In fact, virtually all the actors have to talk the talk while they walk the walk. When they take a breather...
...hockey skate into this mess? Coming out of the 2004-05 lockout, Versus outbid ESPN for rights to hockey games. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman chose cash over the increased exposure any sport gets from ESPN, which is currently in 98 million homes. While the game has gotten better - new rules have increased scoring, and phenoms like Ovechkin and Crosby have given the game new blood - Bettman lost a mainstream audience to which he could market this improved product. So while Ovechkin-Crosby plays out in the wilderness, Bettman should wonder what might have been. (See TIME's picks...
...started a month ago over lunch. Childhood friends Mike and Doug (who'd rather not divulge their last names) were swapping typically cringeworthy stories about their relatives when it dawned on them: there's something universal about the awkwardness of family.

...worth pointing out that this difference was within the survey's margin of error. That is, the decline could just be noise. But other news in the report - and evidence from other sources - points to a consumer-spending trend that is at best flat. Retail sales excluding automobiles, a better indicator of the underlying trend, were down 0.5%. March's overall sales decline was revised down to 1.3% from 1.2%. And so on.

...exercise by itself has far less to do with your body mass than you think. In short, it's the calories, stupid. You can exercise all you want, which will surely make you healthier - reducing your risk of heart disease, diabetes and dementia, for instance - but unless you eat better, or less, it may do nothing to make you thin. All that money we have spent to get kids into P.E. might be better spent helping schools to serve fresh fruits and vegetables at lunch instead of tater tots...
