Starring Anthony Hopkins as a homicidal anthropologist in prison for acting like an animal and Cuba Gooding Jr. as his across-the-table Clarice Starling, this is directly targeted at the I-can't-wait-for-Hannibal-the-sequel crowd. Instead, stay home with the fava beans, the Chianti and "Silence of the Lambs."

...about what all-day, all-night investment opportunities will do to their tickers. Kadlec says the plan's success all depends on how many of the former type get hooked. "There's after-hours trading now, and for the most part, nobody shows up." But that's the professional crowd who've been doing it all day -- for dentists and salesmen and mechanics, says Kadlec, "this could be their new hobby, instead of watching TV. Come home, eat, put the kids to sleep. And trade stocks for a few hours before bed." Looks like the kids will be putting...
