...last weekend's new offerings, the dystopian vampire drama Daybreakers and the Michael Cera comedy Youth in Revolt lost way more than half their original grosses to pratfall out of the top 10. The drop for Amy Adams' rom-com Leap Year was not so steep; it stayed on the heels of the similar, more star-laden It's Complicated. The two big Christmas hits, Alvin and Sherlock, remained in the top five, while The Blind Side, the Sandra Bullock sports weepie that has been in the top 10 for nine consecutive weeks, is still the season's sleeper smash...

...parallels end there. Although bin Laden saw plenty of Western culture in his youth, he seems to have been profoundly uncomfortable with it. Not so al-Awlaki. Now 38, he has lived in the West for more than half his life, speaks fluent English and peppers his sermons with references to Western places and people. A recent lecture on death, for instance, was informed by an old Michael Jackson interview in which the singer said he wanted to "live forever."
