...problems with the film are not limited to stylistic issues: McGregor and Diaz display about as much chemistry as a pile of salt and, well, another pile of salt. It is difficult to tell whether or not the two actors really have no connection at all or if the script is to blame; either way, something has gone terribly wrong somewhere in the creative process...
...that Friday a death trap, the worst of all possible times to buy? Let's review that moment, because the question of buying or selling the next big dip, rather than the question of whether there could be another crash (answer: sure as shootin') can make us a big pile of money the next time around...

Copulation is usually brief but can last more than a day for Western diamondbacks (probably to reduce the female's exposure to rival males). Female snakes too deploy cunning reproductive strategies. North American pit vipers, for example, store sperm for months, until some instinct tells the cold...
