Authorities say a jailed Mexican national accused of killing five men earlier this week cut himself with... Читать дальше...

(AP) — Terminally ill California residents will be able to legally end their lives with medication prescribed by a doctor starting this summer, ending months of uncertainty for dying patients hoping to turn to the practice. State lawmakers adjourned a special session on health care Thursday, paving the way for the law allowing physician-assisted suicide to take effect June 9. Marilyn Golden, a senior policy analyst with the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, said the law doesn't go far... Читать дальше...
If there's a reason, aside from the obvious physical ones, that we haven't had too many oldster revenge thrillers, perhaps it's that revenge as a concept seems one that age, experience, and accruing wisdom might reconsider. After all, living well is the best revenge, if not exactly the most cinematic.

I'd like to apologize to those who were sitting next to me for my aggressive popcorn munching during "10 Cloverfield Lane," the new J.J. Abrams-produced nail-biter starring a creepier John Goodman than you've ever seen (and that's saying something.)
If you're like me, which is to say easily creeped out by unbearable tension and constant fear, not to mention intense claustrophobia, then I strongly suggest you either bring your own snacks, an old sweatshirt or a good friend's arm to chew on. [...] this film, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, is not a sequel to the 2008 Abrams-produced "Cloverfield," though it does share a similar vibe, not to mention part of a title — which hints at a franchise (Abrams has mentioned a "bigger plan.")
