...Mayan calendar supposedly predicted a worldwide calamity for the year 2012, but few box-office analysts foresaw that Roland Emmerich's cheesy a-popcorn-alypse thriller would earn $65 million at the domestic box office in its first three days. Budgeted at way over $200 million, 2012 outgrossed the rest of the top 10 and earned as much in its first three days as last week's $200 million-plus epic, Disney's A Christmas Carol, did in its first 10 days.

The women separately represent something to Edgar, a trait of character or quality of life that he never had. Amongst many impressive performances, Joelle Kross as Virginia, Poe’s 13-year old bride and first cousin, is particularly...
...trillion - and he's right. To date, the U.S. has seemed unable to have what Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has called an "adult conversation" about the consequences of spending so much more than is taken in. That needs to change. And though Hu Jintao and the rest of the Chinese leadership aren't inclined to lecture visiting Presidents, he might gently hint that Beijing is getting a little nervous about the value of the dollar - which has fallen 15% since March, in large part because of increasing fears that America's debt load is becoming unmanageable.
