...grimy post-apocalyptic western from the twin auteurs Allen and Albert Hughes. They must have recognized an anomaly in Washington's quarter-century star career: that, like Tom Hanks but not many others, he's been a major movie male without anchoring an action franchise. (He hasn't even made a sequel, though there may soon be one to Inside Man.) A two-time Oscar winner - Best Actor for Training Day, Best Supporting Actor for Glory - he's had his share of hits, but mostly in the genre of smart adult melodrama.

...current Daybreakers (directed by another set of twins, Peter and Michael Spierig) and The Road, that by now the future can seem passé. But the Detroit-born Hughes brothers have the bona fides to put dreadful war zones on the screen. When they were just 20, they made Menace II Society, a scalding view of gang-plagued Los Angeles.

It's the immunological equivalent of a frozen dinner; the already cooked antibodies eliminate all the hard work of prepping and priming the immune system to do battle...
...malaise at the lab, which Ho attributes to personality conflicts among the faculty, began to infect the quality of the science. In 2002, Ho generated headlines when he thought he had found the X factor made by immune cells that protected some people from developing AIDS. It turned out, however, that his conclusion was premature. Other cells had contaminated his results, and he was forced to issue a "retraction of an interpretation" of the paper describing the study. "It was an embarrassing moment for us, but we fixed it ourselves," says Ho. "It was certainly a low point...
