...fourth in box office receipts on its initial weekend, earning about $7 million. With their coup, the Kendricks beat out a movie by a slightly more renowned brother duo, Joel and Ethan Coen's Burn After Reading; and they did it without George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the cast. The next week's takings added $5.5 million, for a total of $12.5 million and counting. That's a nice haul for a picture with a $500,000 budget, but it's nothing new for the Kendricks. Their previous movie, Facing the Giants, cost just $10,000, according...
...chaos in an unnamed city. Those first afflicted by the disease are quarantined in a grimy and unstaffed medical facility. Julianne Moore plays the wife of an eye doctor infected by the plague, and she bravely joins her husband in the quarantine building.

...piracy is a business: realizing the value of the Faina's cargo, he demanded $35 million, although that figure was later reduced to $20 million. But he likes to cast it as also a protest. "We were forced into this work," he argues, speaking from the Faina's bridge at anchor off the village of Hobyo. "We were fishermen. I used to work in the sea every day. But ships from other countries fish our coasts illegally, destroy our nets and fire on whoever approaches them. We were refused the right to fish. They even dump toxic waste. We couldn...
