That palette includes "greedy bankers" and a warning that debt-ridden Britain is "like an enlarged version of Iceland." There's green too, lots of it, with ambitious proposals for investing in renewable energy and axing any expansion of nuclear power. And some might see red at Clegg's trenchant views on recalibrating Britain's relationship with the U.S. The Lib Dems opposed British participation in the Iraq war, which Clegg ascribes to "this almost unseemly knee-bending allegiance to the White House. I don't think it's good for Britain," he says. "I don't think...

Indeed, the film's opening-weekend tally was almost exactly the same (factoring in inflation...

...real Damon will survive Green Zone. And those critics (like this one) who gave it a favorable review think he should be proud of a movie that provokes political discussion among viewers even as it amps up their adrenaline rush. But his and Greengrass's flop makes this potentially valuable genre even more endangered. They fought...
