...says. "The Israelis update their weapons, and so do we." For now, Israelis have put a lid on militancy. But if that success breeds a new generation of terrorists, such as Abu Dhaim, who are willing to sacrifice life, marriage and a family for revenge, it will be a hollow victory...
...characters in the film “Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day” inhabit a dizzying world of ritzy soirées, opulent penthouses, and outrageous bling. The film is a sketch of the wealthy life that, while glamorous from a distance, is ultimately hollow.

Cube opens with the now-obligatory pre-music skit, this time set in a dystopian futuristic classroom in which the teacher is brainwashing kids about the evils of gangsta...
