...similarly reduced intelligence from the characters, who must forever be running alone into the woods, walking into crime-scene tunnels or taking a ride with someone quite likely to be the killer. For the genre director, a horror film is a game of geometry. It's all about the slow movement of the victim and the camera into a space of probable peril. In the Hitchcock school of tension-ratcheting, Lussier is an apt apprentice. (He also borrows a Hitchcock trick, from Stage Fright, of showing a misleading scene from the killer's demented point of view.) The movie...
...cease-fire without Hamas and Israel's mutual consent may be the most temporary of Band-Aids. Inevitably, Hamas claimed that despite the devastation its fight with Israel has wreaked on Gaza, the best the Israelis could do was to slow - but not stop - the barrage of rockets arcing out of Gaza.

The slow-roasted pork belly - served with spiced yams, pineapple mustard and greens - is a best seller. "Traditional, but re-imagined," Prensky says of the dish. "There are so many things happening - and it's awesome." That's a pretty good description of Philadelphia today...
...business at just the wrong time, which is consistent with the rest of their behavior over the last four decades. Oil prices are moving back toward $30 and many economists believe this that will be the new normal. China and India have cut imported oil as their economies slow. Americans would rather ride bikes that drive cars...
