Haywire


Joining a healthy strand of action films following lone 'Black Ops' operators betrayed by their former employers and on the run/out for revenge/rescuing a girl (The American and Spartan being two of the best, and most stylish in different ways; Taken is a guilty pleasure on the other hand...), Steven Soderbergh directs the screen debut of women's MMA fighter Gina Carano leading a stellar cast in Haywire. In this film the girl can look after herself, but let's hope her acting lives up to that of fellow MMA retiree (and The Expendables cast member) Randy Couture.

Prometheus


Ridley Scott returns to Science Fiction, and to Horror, with his prequel (sequel?) to his own seminal, genre-defining classic, Alien, apparently dispensing with the claustrophobia of the original in the process and turning to a much larger canvas. It sports a fantastic cast as well.

The Hitch

Christopher Hitchens, 1949-2011
An impassioned opponent of totalitarianism of all kinds, defender of Jeffersonian democracy and a true bon vivant, the world is a better place for his having lived, and his legacy and writings will outlast his all too short life.

America

By way of ACL, an advert that centres on selling America's virtues (one of many at the linked post). Inspiring. And on the same theme:
Part of Levi's Go Forth campaign:
And finally, a pitch for Made Right Here about USA made clothes.

Burning Bridges

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

- Tom Stoppard
