...fight film will be able to predict the rest of The Wrestler. Randy gets one more chance: a 20-year rematch in Wilmington of his Ayatollah fight. Will he pass it up to save his life? (Not if there's gonna be an Act Three.) He also has a stab at mending the hearts of the women in his life. Will Randy manage to connect with his estranged daughter (Wood), who hasn't forgiven him for abandoning her? (That's Act Two, where the only innovation is that the girl's mother is never mentioned.) And will a local stripper...
...first day at Angola Penitentiary in Louisiana, Greg Bright said he witnessed one prisoner jump out of line and stab another prisoner in the neck. And everyone kept walking. Bright, who was wrongly convicted of second-degree murder in 1976 and spent the subsequent 27 years in prison, spoke before a crowd of undergraduates as part of Voices of Innocence, an event organized by the Harvard College Human Rights Advocates to commemorate the 60th anniversary of human rights’ universal declaration.Bright, in addition to two other exonerated prisoners who spoke during the event, said they were angry about...
...truth, the British still got a little better of the deal in this transatlantic transaction.

When Michael sneaks up behind the couch where Laurie is sitting and tries to stab her, yet misses by four feet. This is the cheesiest, most irritating action that later slasher movies rip off. 8. No, I take it back. Every time Laurie thinks she’s slain the killer and drops the knife right next to him, take a shot. This truly is the cheesiest...
...Cotterill spent about four years in Laos (he now lives in Thailand). Although he quickly grew to love its unhurried rhythms and the unfailing good humor of its people, he didn't set out to write about it. Instead, his first stab at fiction produced a dense, depressing investigation of child sex-trafficking in Asia, an issue Cotterill has also delved into as an NGO worker. That novel sold "about two copies," Cotterill says. He realized a lighter touch might prove more palatable to readers...
