...movie. The much tattooed 42-year-old director's last effort, the mordantly witty 2005 horror pic The Devil's Rejects, revealed the metal singer/director's knack for coaxing a certain grisly charm out of his homicidal antiheroes and evoking an unexpected creepiness out of the sun-bleached California desert. Now the horror auteur is taking a stab at Michael Myers, the masked psychopath from John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween, which Zombie is retooling for an August release...

...America. According to Reddi, in the 1910s and 1920s a smaller number of mostly Punjabi immigrants moved to California to become farmers. “That generation is virtually ignored,” Reddi said. “And what they did for the country in terms of the desert land they made fertile is tremendous.” Neither Reddi nor Anand is a writer by trade.

These days, Iraq produces about 2 million barrels of oil a day, down from about 3 million before the war. It's lethally dangerous for oil workers, and virtually no international company dares operate outside Kurdistan. For all its promise, the Sunni-dominated al-Anbar province is where insurgents have waged a vicious fight against American and Iraqi forces. Until now it has seen almost no energy production at all. Decades...

...peak baggers wanting to summit, overnight treks can be arranged up the Djebel Toubkal. On our final day we opted for an easier vista onto a vast mountain desert bowl, before returning to lunch at Samra, a candlelit guest douar (Berber dwelling) run by an energetic Swiss woman and a local female staff.
