...hole in the center of this mythic history is Farrell, who looks overwhelmed and diminished by the burden of carrying an epic movie on his bulked-up shoulders. Jolie, however, is right at home as his mother. A sorceress lolling among snakes--the sexiest Gorgon, whose stare melts the screen--she spits out seductive invectives in a crypto-Carpathian accent; Olympias may be Philip's wife, but she is Dracula's daughter. And Jolie inhabits her with an awful grandeur. The archetypal housewife furious at her husband's philandering, she tells Philip, "In my womb I carried my avenger." Jolie...

Sporadic gunfire from the decaying warehouses, cement plants and junkyards provoked U.S. tanks to unleash high-explosive rounds at insurgent positions. The Wolf Pack's fire-support officer called in mortar fire on buildings and locations where movement was seen. Even...
...only a sliver of Orange County’s coast—Newport Beach—that in no way represents the true nature of my beloved county. And true, wafer-thin Marissa Cooper annoys the hell out of everyone, while Ryan Atwood’s cold stare isn’t so cold when it’s used for every single emotional facial expression. But that doesn’t matter when Seth Cohen talks to his horsie Captain Oats about his girl problems, or Sandy Cohen gigglingly repeats the word “yogalates...
