...book, Geraghty as the subordinate with jumpy nerves, and especially Renner. He's had supporting roles in North Country, 28 Weeks Later and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, but this is his big chance, and he seizes it. He's ordinary, pudgy-faced, quiet, and at first seems to lack the screen charisma to carry a film. That supposition vanishes in a few minutes, as Renner slowly reveals the strength, confidence and unpredictability of a young Russell Crowe. The merging of actor and character is one of the big things to love about this movie...
When I left New York City for New Delhi earlier this year, I thought Kashmir would be a "good news" story. The valley had been relatively quiet for years, and in April and May Kashmir was celebrating record numbers of tourists. By August, however, normalcy had been replaced by strife, death, curfews and checkpoints. The immediate cause of the conflict this time was a dispute between Muslims and Hindus over 100 acres (40 hectares) of land near the Amarnath shrine in the Kashmir valley, which Indian authorities had granted to a Hindu pilgrim group.

That is certainly true, but it's not a bad place to get lost in for a few dark days and a few cold nights...
...thoughts into his laptop, editing as he goes along. This is how he wrote both of his two best selling books-Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope-staying up after Michelle and his two young daughters had long gone to bed, reveling in the late night quiet. For this speech Obama removed himself from the distractions at home and spent many nights in a room in the Park Hyatt Hotel in Chicago. These late-night sessions produced long, meandering texts that were then circulated to a close group of advisers, including Axelrod and Obama's speechwriter...
...Indeed, with the weekend eaten up by the rollout of his running mate, Delaware Senator Joe Biden, Obama has been up late the past few nights working on his convention speech in a quiet room at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Chicago, returning to his home city every night through last weekend. Always a night owl, the Illinois Senator writes out every idea by hand, revising his thoughts as he logs the pages into a laptop. He's already gone well past midnight twice...
