...Finland School Rampage A 22-year-old student killed 11 people, including himself, at a trade school in the town of Kauhajoki, some 180 miles (290 km) northwest of Helsinki, in the world's deadliest school shooting since gunman Cho Seung-Hui massacred 32 at Virginia Tech in April 2007. The incident bore eerie similarities to a killing spree that left nine dead at another Finnish school last November. In both cases, the perpetrator posted ominous videos on YouTube shortly before the attack. The Kauhajoki killer, identified as Matti Juhani Saari (below), had been interviewed by police in connection with...
...woefully miscast in the role of a beguiling woman - but Harris', Irons' and especially Mortensen's. They're as weathered and craggily handsome as any butte in Monument Valley. And however loquacious Virgil and Everett may occasionally be, their natural mode is silence. Any movie cowboy or gunman spends his time sitting and riding and drinking and musing and shooting - activities that don't demand talk. Our heroes are respecters of each other's privacy; they figure no man is likely to reveal all of himself, perhaps even to himself. Let his ethics, if he has any, do the talking...
...gonna be comfortable.") More recklessly, he tosses his headset on the ground, so he doesn't have to hear Sanborn's pleas to get the hell out of there.

...while there's no Cigarette Smoking Man, and the Lone Gunman dweebs weren't invited to the reunion, Mulder and Scully must be heartened by the brief return of [spoiler alert!] their old boss Skinner (Mitch Pileggi). Just as important is the film's location in the Great White North. The first five seasons of The X Files were shot in British Columbia, which was a good fit for a show that wanted to leave its fans with a chill. In its pensiveness and good manners, its immersion in desolate wastes, its search for eccentricity, even dementia, behind the blandest...
...lawn. One night last week a gang of young whites began launching bottle rockets toward the Armstrong house, but suddenly the fun went out of it. A 23-year-old friend of the Armstrongs' fired a shotgun at the whites, wounding eight, none seriously. Police charged the alleged gunman, Michael Spraggins, with felonious assault and released him on $5,000 bond. Marlene Armstrong insisted that her family had been endangered. Said she: ''Either we were going to die or those people were going to die.'' Observers recalled other recent incidents, including the unsolved fire-bombing death of a black woman...
