...about by furry, blurry CGI werewolves, quite a few decapitations and a poignant but nifty crisping of one of the vampires when exposed to sunlight. Being set in an earlier day (night), Lycans renounces the whizzing Matrix-like bullets of the first two movies for swords and a heavy-metal bow-and-arrow contraption that brings certain death to just about anyone but Lucian...

...security net covering Barack Obama's Inauguration will comprise more than 20,000 law-enforcement officers focusing on a 3½ sq. mi. secure zone that includes the White House, the Capitol and the National Mall. There will be metal detectors, 155 two-person FBI teams dressed in plain clothes, 5,000 surveillance cameras, eyes in the sky and a 40-ft. bomb truck for dealing with suspicious items - in other words, the works...
