...Mona's eco-ranting boyfriend Oyster, the most comically egregious tagalong since that sourpuss hitchhiker picked up by Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces.

All the while Carl struggles with his impulse to wipe out everybody in his path who annoys him.

If the lump of space rock did hit the earth it could wipe out a continent, throw up dustclouds that would block sunlight for months and quickly take humankind to the brink of extinction. So plan accordingly. RUSSIA Lost Young Men The Helsinki Federation, an international human-rights organization, accused the Russian military of a campaign of executions in Chechnya aimed at reducing...
