...last week in Mexico, where Maciel founded the ultraconservative Legion in 1941, the scandal took an even unholier turn. On March 3, one of Maciel's mistresses, Blanca Lara, and two of Lara's grown sons told MVS Radio that Maciel had sexually abused his own children. It "started when I was 7 years old," said one son, José Raúl González, now in his early 30s. "I was lying down with him like any boy, any son with his father. He pulled down my pants and tried to rape me." The abuse, Gonz...
Oddly, it's the burly action movies, usually the dominant genre, that fell out of recent audience favor. The otherworldly Daybreakers and Legion have underperformed, as has Mel Gibson's comeback revenge vehicle Edge of Darkness. And although $30 million isn't a bad start for Benicio Del Toro as Wolfman, the picture will need long legs, here and abroad, to earn back its husky $125 budget. Only Sherlock Holmes ($204 million) and The Book of Eli (which will hit $100 million before it's finished) have capitalized on blood and fisticuffs. Indeed, depending on whether you count Avatar...
...status of the weekend's other wide release, From Paris with Love. That John Travolta spy-action film earned only a quarter of Dear John's take.

...Beijing is internationally synonymous with any one dish, it's surely roast duck. But judging by the city's vast legion of hotpot restaurants, it seems that the locals have an even greater penchant for shuan rou (rinsing meat, as the practice of simmering tidbits in various kinds of broth is locally termed). With February's average high temperature reaching just 4˚C, it's a great time to discover this winter warmer. Here are three good hotpot places...
