...Fielder, 46, a British rugby referee in town from Hong Kong for a game, was standing with a group of friends, having what was planned to be the night's last drink, when he heard an explosion. Ten seconds later, he says, came something more. "There was a huge bang, and I felt I was lifted up. There was just light and sound--it was like someone knocked me out." Fielder remembers hearing screams and noticing that he could see the sky: the roof of the club had been blown off. Picking himself up from the rubble, he tried...

Feel free to put some chocolate on your pillow. --With reporting by Harriet Barovick, Lisa McLaughlin and Desa...
...Trevor Adams (Ben Foster) brings a bomb to high school. The weapon doesn't go off; it's a dummy. But when a drama teacher (Tom Cavanagh) casts Trevor in a play about a school shooting, the campus explodes into paranoia, pushing Trevor to the brink of real violence. Bang Bang is too speech-heavy, and for a movie about the danger of stereotypes, it's rife with them: meathead jocks, insensitive parents, earnest teachers. But Foster makes Trevor searingly real, a bright, eyes-averted loner who so badly wants you to think he doesn't care that you know...
