...summer-movie preview that ran last week on TIME.com, I speculated about Ocean's Thirteen: "If Take 3 is a reasonable facsimile of its predecessors, it will be like one of those elite parties you're dying to attend because of the killer guest list; then you get in and find that, for all the star glamour in evidence, the ambiance is somehow... lacking." Turns out my hopes were too high. It's as if the whole enterprise were running on battery power that was about to give out. The five big stars can't shake the movie's infectious...
What little he told his parents, who are divorced, was harrowing. He was part of a small "killer group" of six, conducting patrols and house-to-house searches, and ferreting out snipers. In e-mail to his father, he articulated his fears. In the last message he sent his dad, dated April 3, Starcevich describes surviving three IED blasts and an ambush in a single day. "Man I tell U what," he wrote. "Somebody wants me alive. I just wonder how many more times I can roll the dice b4 I get a shitty #." Thirteen days later, a roadside bomb...
This won't make Amazon the iTunes killer. There's no way Amazon will match the silky-smooth user experience of the iTunes store--I mean, interface design and hardware integration are what Apple does--or the depth of its song selection.

Moss spends most of his sorry time being chased and shot at: as he tries to ford a river pursued by a varmint posse and a killer dog, or jumping out a second-story hotel window with some of Chigurh's ammo in his gut. Joining the chase, of both Moss and Chigurh, are the venerable, philosophizing Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) and a wise-ass DEA headhunter (Woody Harrelson). And every bit of this...
...Born Killer I commend Kluger for a very articulate piece on an extremely important topic: how Cho became what he became [April 30]. Many people in the media dismissed him as a loner and a psychopath. While there is no doubt he was both, such an attitude is not only callous (to the innocent boy he once was, not to the monster he became), it is also very dangerous. Without a willingness to reflect nonjudgmentally on the causes of Cho's psychosis, and thereby learn to identify and treat individuals on a similar path, such horrific incidences will occur again...
