...bleakest and toughest of the Iraq films is Brian De Palma's low-budget, no-star Redacted. Based (like Elah) on an actual atrocity, it takes the form of a multimedia documentary: a mix of simulated TV-news reports, YouTube blogs, video posts and a daily video record of the war, kept by a soldier whose buddies see their sergeant blown up by an IED and go a little crazy.

Right now these moneymen pay a capital...

Udom Tantiprasongchai, chief executive of Orient Thai Airlines, says fierce competition from AirAsia and flag carrier Thai Airways forced him to slash the fare on his One-Two-Go budget service from Bangkok to Chiang Mai to less than $25, about 30% lower than he had planned. At that price, he admitted, he lost money. But Udom has wreaked revenge. He says he routinely employs a team in his office to go on the Internet and buy as many...
