...followed the long list of groves and pumps he'd made for this night, Story chattered by push-to-talk cell phone with his father Vic and brother Matthew, who were operating pumps on other tracts of the family's 5,000 acres (2023 hectares) of oranges, tangerines and grapefruits, which lie across four counties in central Florida. When Matthew radioed in that some of his pump pipes had frozen, a setback that could result in a good deal of lost fruit, Kyle summoned a stoic voice and replied, "We can only do what...
Kyle, 27, has spent most of his life in the groves, which have been in the family since his great-grandfather's day. His first memories are of riding a tractor beneath mile after mile of rich, dark green foliage dappled with orange and yellow. For Kyle and his brother, punishment for misbehavior as teens meant picking fruit for an entire day. "I worked all day and hadn't even filled a tub three-fourths full," Kyle recalls, noting that a good picker can fill three or four tubs, which hold 90 lb. each, in an eight-hour...
...beginning of the plague, going red was a decision most of the population made - except for people like Edward, who was vamped by his brother. So he's ripe for being tapped by some renegade humans led by Elvis Cormac (Willem Dafoe) and his henchwoman Audrey (Claudia Karvan).

(You'll get another retro-future landscape next week in The Book of Eli, directed by another twin-brother team, Allen and Albert Hughes.) Made in Australia back in 2007 for not much money, the movie looks both distinctive and plausible. It's much savvier at visualizing a things-to-come world than this weekend's new romantic comedy, Leap Year, is at bringing Ireland to life, and all Leap...
...very first, in 2001, a well-meaning white woman kept using the phrase "you people." "Do you people want to be called blacks?" she asked. "Or African Americans? I never know what to call you people." Eventually it became too much, and Larry, along with Renetta and his brother Garnett, explained to the woman and eight other white congregants in the room that "every time you say 'you people,' you're holding us back - it's like we're not included," Renetta said. The woman burst into tears and asked, "Well, what do you like to be called?" Renetta quipped...
