Wednesday's bloodbath in Baghdad is a stark reminder that while the U.S. troop surge into the capital has brought a significant decline in sectarian killings by Shi'ite death squads, the Sunni insurgency and its terror attacks on Shi'ite civilians have continued to take a dreadful toll. More than 150 people were killed Wednesday as explosion after explosion rocked Shi'ite neighborhoods: The attacks left more than 100 workers dead in a Shi'ite neighborhood food market; more than 40 dead at a police checkpoint; and 11 killed in front of a hospital...
...terror at the Virginia Polytechnic and State University in Blacksburg began at about 7:15 a.m. with the killing of a woman student and a male resident assistant on the fourth floor of a dormitory on campus. Kristen Bensley, a freshman who lived below the floor where the shooting occurred, said, "There were rumors going on about [the assailant] was fighting with his girlfriend or something of that nature."

What worked with a bunch of gangsters in the opening of “Reservoir Dogs” is just not that captivating with a group of regular girls. I know this...
...Rodriguez's feature jumbles the zombie, cop, political thriller and rural-trash-melodrama genres. Like The Night of the Living Dead, it's about a random bunch of people trapped in a shack and beset by flesh-dripping, flesh-eating zombies. In the spirit of that 1968 classic, Planet Terror celebrates the community of the still-living, except that Rodriguez's humans do a lot less grousing than George Romero's did. It's also got deadly gases, go-go dancers, pretty disgusting shots of men with extreme gonadal anomalies, and Bruce Willis as the man who killed bin Laden...
