...dirty job, and it gets dirtier when Wikus is infected with some alien gookum and his left arm turns creature-like. Now he's hunted by both his old firm and the Nigerians who want his prawn arm to fire the space weapons. Classic Hitchcock vectors: a man on the run from two adversaries.

...stylish restaurant has become a favorite among the city's affluent diners, who visit for the oxtail-and-marrow risotto, the yellowfin tuna enveloped in white radish or the prawn salsa that spices up the chilled soups. Unhappily though, demand for the rooms has been slack. Even though bombings and sporadic outbreaks of fighting between the Sri Lankan army and the Tamil Tigers rarely affect tourists directly, they have understandably dampened tourism, forcing Fernando to offer his 10 suites at discounted prices, beginning at $200 per night.
