...movie, one of which shows him with a gun in his waistband and a baby in his arm. “In my eyes,” 50 says, “the photograph that I’m showing you is I’m a protector in the situation…I’m going to do whatever it takes to get to what I’m trying to do.” Guns frequently appear in action movie ads, 50 says, and with little protest. “They are pointing at me at this...
...smacked 130 for Hurlstone Agricultural in 1978. Brett Lee's quick, even off a short run. After nagging away outside my off stump, Bing dropped one short. I went to pull it, the ball skidded on and hit me in the gooly. I was wearing a titanium protector, for extra confidence. Quality box. My left-arm pace was rusty, too much swing, couldn't pitch them on the stumps. Warney, 700 wickets (and counting!), gave me a nickname. "Extras," as in wide and no ball.

Fossey's violent death bears a sad resemblance to that of another naturalist, Joy Adamson, author of the 1960 best seller Born Free...
...this mystery magician Sophie's protector or a predator? No suspense there. But while the story adheres to fairy-tale contours, it constantly surprises with the richness of imaginative detail. The film begins in the soot and bustle of an old European city, with a design scheme both grim and dapper: even the evil blobs who chase Howl wear straw hats. The castle, which treads back roads on four Seussian legs, is a spectacular jumble of ship parts, old wooden houses and gigantic barrels. Palaces and shimmering lakes, warplanes and fire sprites all come to life at the breath...
