...quietly divine performance, William Hurt plays Brett, a man with no one to greet him when he gets out of prison. He walks to a café, orders a beer, sits down to write a letter and observes the town tartlet (she's very young) get rejected by a boy who has obviously used her. Martine (Kristen Stewart) spins on her heel, lights on Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), the first male she spots in her age range, and offers to go off with him instead. Maybe there's a party, or a festival across the river...
...career for a breakout role. And 24-year-old Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan knows it. Hers was Jenny, the lead character in the Lone Scherfig film An Education, which was adapted from the Lynn Barber memoir about a teenager who falls head over heels for a charming but flawed man. Mulligan's portrayal of a young woman who blooms with love only to wilt upon discovering its complexities has captured the hearts of critics and Oscar voters and has established her as one of the front runners going into the ceremony on March 7.

But when it comes to the complex budgetary procedure known as reconciliation, the filibuster-proof process which Democrats hope to use to make certain fixes to the Senate bill, Frumin is "the defense counsel, he's the prosecution, he's the judge, he's the jury and he's the hangman...
...Diyala province, whose mixed Sunni, Shi'ite and Kurdish population is the country in microcosm. U.S. soldiers now rarely leave their bases outside Iraq's cities and towns, leaving security on the road to Diyala largely in the hands of the Iraqi security forces. The soldiers and police who man the many checkpoints wear the latest fashion in pattern-disrupting camouflage uniforms and patches that say "Special Forces" or "SWAT." But they still rely on controversial antenna-rod bomb detectors that may in fact be useless. Their transport consists primarily of high-performance Ford trucks that break down without clean...
