...film industry, April is the cruelest month, a late Lent before the big "summer" film feast begins in early May. (This year's Maytime blockbuster hopefuls: Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels & Demons, Terminator Salvation and Night at the Museum; and those are just the major sequels, prequels and remakes.) The last weekend in April is a kind of movie doggie day care, where Hollywood stashes its unwanted mutts until they can be unleashed on DVD. Given the low-rent release date of Obsessed, and Sony Screen Gems' refusal to screen it for critics, industry analysts predicted an opening weekend...
...bigger question may be, will the global settlement have any lasting impact-or do we lose something significant when the money for independent research stops in July? By some measures, the bias of investment-bank stock research has, in fact, changed since the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Palm oil prices, for example, have been rising of late partly because demand from India, with its population of 1 billion, is holding up.

...Market — Though expensive, the Market boasts an impressive array of healthy food and unexpected late night sandwiches. The only 24 hour eatery in the vicinity, FlyBy has made the trek there many a long night, sometimes with varying success. Not the best drunk food, but try the Chicken Parmesan sandwich or the Cheesesteak if you find yourself three sheets to the wind in this Brattle Square jump off. Warning: do not screw with the random homeless people. It's never as funny as you might think, and sometimes it ends quite badly...
