...unwanted mutts until they can be unleashed on DVD. Given the low-rent release date of Obsessed, and Sony Screen Gems' refusal to screen it for critics, industry analysts predicted an opening weekend of $15-17 million. Yet the movie, which pairs Knowles with The Wire's Idris Elba as her victimized husband, transcended the reliable African-American constituency and lured a broad base of teens and young couples. It is, after all, the perfect creep-out date movie...
...close a real estate deal with one of the new kids on the block, a Russian tough named Uri (Karel Roden). But people keep stealing the multimillion-pound swag. The culprits happen to be a couple of Lenny's enforcers, One Two (Gerard Butler, of 300) and Mumbles (Idris Elba), working on tips One Two gets from Stella (Thandie Newton), a silky lawyer of no fixed ethical abode.

Today, peace lovers can enjoy a relaxing farm holiday...
Peter, to his credit, has heeded that advice. And he, like countless others I know, legitimately seems to have reaped the benefits as advertised. In his online photo albums, he smiles from Elba to Pompeii, echoing every blissful—and more substantive—e-mail I’ve gotten from friends in cities from Paris, to Siena, to Cape Town...
