...looks like a sad samurai in forced retirement. The next morning, he is startled out of sleep by the bedroom drapes briskly, noisily, automatically opening to reveal slashes of sunlight--that's his wake-up call. Tokyo has another alarm clock in store for Bob. He needs the jolt of friendship, and he finds it in Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), a young wife who is as restless as Bob is. When she asks how long he's staying in Tokyo, he replies like a lounge singer at the end of his act, "I'll be in the bar for the rest...

Of course, vampires tend to hang out in dungeons, so the ones in Boktai are conveniently equipped with skylights for that extra jolt when a player's in a tight spot.

Rene de Jong, the managing director of the company's branch in Leiden, brewed the Coffee Savings Account as a way to support coffee farmers in developing countries, staying true to the company's agricultural-banking roots. Customers have to put away a minimum of about $1,000 for a three-year term to collect the annual interest of 12 bags of coffee, each of which contains 250 grams, about 8.8 ounces. That roughly amounts to a 4% return...
