...food every single day!" Julia enthuses. "I can't get over it." Their only disappointment is that they can't have children, a sadness Ephron conveys in a few deft strokes, almost purely visual - as when Julia slumps against Paul upon the news that her sister Dorothy (the perfectly cast Jane Lynch) is expecting. (Read "7 Myths About Meryl...
...Halo video-game universe, was hired by Jackson to make a Halo feature. That project foundered after a few months, and Jackson proposed that Blomkamp make a different feature right away. He resuscitated the Alive in Joburg idea, expanding and improving it into District 9. Jackson even let Blomkamp cast Copley, a high school pal who had never acted, in the lead. Amazingly, Copley carries the film, bringing to a most demanding role the scheming dimness of Harry Dean Stanton mixed with the dogged, unwarranted optimism of Steve Carell. Jackson, says Blomkamp, is "the guy that allowed everything to happen...
...Gist: It was an endless campaign - close to two years of political and cultural combat among a sprawling cast of presidential hopefuls that, eventually, led to a history-making Commander in Chief. Journalists Dan Balz and Haynes Johnson - current and former Washington Post reporters, respectively - capture the momentous contest in a polished account refreshingly free of last year's breathless soundbites, pundit insta-reaction or fixation on trifling gaffes (the maelstrom over President Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment warrants barely a mention).

"The hammer fell on polygraphy, and it never really recovered," Mesloh says. "Now, [for dog scent], the blood...
...aftermath of the presidential election. State media had already placed the source of the trouble outside of the country. The news for days ran footage of "voluntary" confessions by local citizens led astray by foreign elements, the latter typically Iranians operating out of the U.K. (the British had been cast as the lead villain this time around). As a kharaji, or foreigner, who had arrived on a flight from London shortly before the vote, I fit the profile of the state's narrative too well. The machinery had little choice but to check up on me, its logic dictating...
