Lieut. General Russel Honoré has long legs, and he uses them to full effect. A lean 6 ft. 2 in., Honoré strides across the deck of the U.S. warship Iwo Jima as aides rush to keep up. He strides into a room full of admirals and generals and barks out orders. ("I want you to go and get it done," he says, telling them he has no time for progress reports.) He strides down the streets of New Orleans to correct his soldiers' comportment; he strides down tarmacs to waiting helicopters. He strides away from the Governor of Louisiana...
With the gut-wrenching details of heinous sex crimes making national headlines in the past few years, it's easy to see why cities and states would rush to get tougher on offenders even after they get out of prison. The rape and murder of Jessica Lunsford, 9, in March caused Florida to pass a law in May that mandates lifetime monitoring with ankle bracelets for anyone convicted of a sex crime against a minor. The 2003 abduction of North Dakota college student Dru Sjodin helped spur the creation of a national online registry of sex offenders that began rolling...
...like 24, Alias and Lost before it, Break makes a virtue of its preposterousness. The twists pile on fast enough--I've never seen a pilot in such a rush to tie itself in knots--that you surrender.

Miller (The Human Stain) carries the lead role with grim charisma, like a jailbird Jack...
Nazi Germany is Kerr's protagonist in four gripping tales. The latest, Hitler's Peace, is a cunning what-if riff on the little-remembered 1943 Big Three conference to set the rules for German surrender. Yes, it's actually thrilling. And it will make you rush to read Berlin Noir (out in paper), a masterly trio of mysteries starring ex-cop Bernie Gunther as he struggles with notions of justice in 1930's Germany, soaked in the seamy authenticity of Hitler's world...
...siendo ya una estrella en su pa?s, M?xico, tuvo que comenzar de cero en la industria del cine en Los ?ngeles. Despu?s que el director Robert Rodr?guez la viera en televisi?n y la seleccionara para su pel?cula Desperado, de 1995, Hayek comenz? a conseguir papeles en pel?culas como Fools Rush In y Wild Wild West. Justo doce a?os despu?s de su llegada, la actriz ha producido y protagonizado el proyecto de sus sue?os, una biograf?a de la pintora mexicana Frida Kahlo, pel?cula que en la estaban interesadas por a?os muchas mujeres m?s famosas, ricas y altas, sin contar los ejecutivos...
