Aaron Johnson doesn't get to make much of an impression as Bennett (watch for his breakthrough role later this month in Kick-Ass) but if you could picture the girl you'd most like to turn up on your doorstep, announcing she's pregnant with your dead son's child, it would be Mulligan's Rose. Despite an absent father and a mother in rehab, Rose is poised, mature and smart enough to have won a full scholarship to Barnard. This movie lacks the energy and verve of An Education, the coming-of-age drama that catapulted the British...
...April, when Alice and Dragon would have run their course, and before the first expected smash of the summer season, Iron Man 2. But Warner decided on Easter weekend, and the swamis are now predicting a take of $70 million for Clash's opening three days. "Warner Bros.' decision doesn't make a lot of sense," Bock observes. "You don't see many other 3-D conflicts down the line, and if they really wanted to maximize their attendance dollars, you could just hold it a week or two and have an open field...
...vigor, as audience's wait in vain for some big monsters-in-your-lap moment. (And it's rated PG-13 - unlike 300, its recent ancestor in the antique-Greek action genre - so the hacked-off-arm opportunities are also limited.)

Arturo Cuevas '12 defeated all of mathematics with his Harvard admission. “I was at calculus tutoring after school,” he said. “My mom (who doesn't speak English very well) had access to my college e-mail and called me to ask what that e-mail meant.” After Cuevas realized just what the e-mail meant, he came to an even more powerful realization. As his teacher continued to solve integrals on the board, Cuevas decided that as a Harvard admit, he should be the one doing the tutoring...
...most pirates can only dream of such riches. Mohamed, another pirate I meet in Nairobi, is in the city for a few days, he says, to check on his employers' investments. Wearing a cheap charcoal suit and dirty fake-leather shoes, this father of eight clearly doesn't make a lot from piracy. He is vague about his boss's investments and says they might be small stalls selling clothes or cheap hotels. Mohamed got across the border from Somalia by paying someone to hide him inside the back of a truck. "I'm not happy with it, but since...
