Unfortunately, we don't get to set sail on The Beagle, but in a literal sense the movie does deliver, in that we do get to see Darwin (Paul Bettany) repeatedly sit down at his desk and move a pen across paper. Eventually, we see him drop a fat parcel in the back of a horse-drawn wagon, sending his Origin manuscript off to his publisher...

...many urban middle-class Chinese, dreams of owning property that came into focus in the past decade have faded. Chen, 28, makes about $22,000 a year. By combining that with his wife's $13,000 salary as an office administrator, the couple estimated that they could afford a $260,000 apartment. But after more than a year of searching, and touring some 50 potential homes, they're still renting. In the heated market, sellers kept raising the price thousands of dollars just as Chen and his wife were on the verge of closing a deal, he says. Or worse...
