...year's most enthralling movie.) But Wanted doesn't care. While it's manufactured for the young male demographic, it's aimed, like a Saturday Night Special ready to go BANG!, at the Hollywood establishment. The director is saying there are other, more daring ways to feed meat to the fanboys. The film is Bekmambetov's challenge to the more traditional members of the action-film fraternity. The final words of Wanted might be his: "What the f--- have you done lately...

(It doesn't help that 31 states feed into the Mississippi River basin, or that multiple federal agencies are involved with the dead-zone task force.) A 2007 report by the National Research Council called for more aggressive leadership by the EPA to coordinate and oversee state activities along the Mississippi, but the agency doesn't seem ready...
