Men who hate women/Män som hatar kvinnor (Sweden) has it's flaws but I still liked it very much. It is an adaptation of Stieg Larsson's novel but the "weakest thread" in the canvass of this movie is the story itself: it is quite standard serial killer thriller with Old Testament references. This could have been just one of those serial killer movies that come out in hundreds every year, and it even might soon become one – it seems like a perfect movie for a Hollywood re-make. But, directed by Niels Arden Oplev, this serial killer flick has become austerely beautiful, atmospheric and enigmatic. It's cinematography reminded me of "Insomnia" (Norwegian version) and paintings by Vilhelm Hammershoi – there is always something hidden in every frame, just beyond your reach. And hurray! In the film we also have an unconventional and absolutely awesome heroine Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace), bisexual, Goth and computer hacker! Also, the serial killer storyline unfolded quite neatly. I really recommend this one to the fans of whodunit crime stories.

Are you a chronic jaywalker? Should jaywalking be more heavily monitored by the NYPD (who currently have no officers assigned specifically to the jaywalking beat)? Comedian Colin Quinn faced off with AAA spokesman Robert Sinclair Jr. for opposing opinion pieces on the habitual practice.

Of course it's our God-given right to jaywalk!

It's what distinguishes us from almost every other city in the world.

Do you see the cops giving a freakin' cow a ticket for being in the way in India?

No.

And you don't give a New Yorker a jaywalking ticket either.

As the writer/filmmaker responsible for the densely-detailed and intense films Donnie Darko and Southland Tales, Richard Kelly returns with another mind-bending sci-fi tale called The Box.

StarWars.com caught up with Kelly after a recent visit to Skywalker Ranch and ILM, to chat with him about his love for Star Wars, NASA's approval of The Box and why Jabba the Hutt should be the next Tony Soprano.

----------------

In addition to expanding on Richard Matheson's short story "Button, Button" for the plot, you also use a lot of your own parents' background stories in The Box, especially with your father's work at NASA. Why did you want the film to reflect some of your own family's history?

It just felt like the right thing to do. This felt like the kind of film I think they would appreciate. They love Alfred Hitchcock. When I found the solution to this story, and linking to my dad's work at NASA, it all came together. It felt like a way to kind of pay tribute to them and to their experiences. And that they would get a kick out of seeing elements of who they are portrayed by Cameron Diaz and James Marsden. Obviously, they're not playing my parents but it's an interpretation of them.

You don't get that many opportunities in life to try to do something cool like that for your parents. This felt like the moment to do it.

How did NASA feel about you not only using them as a story component, but actually shooting some footage there as well?

All the NASA stuff at Langley in the film was shot at NASA's Langley Research Center. It took about a year to get full cooperation from NASA and NASA headquarters and everyone at Langley. They all read the script and signed off on it. We signed a Space Act Agreement and it was a big deal.

No one has ever photographed that hangar before; no one has ever been inside that wind tunnel. There are these legendary buildings over at Langley that have never been shown before on film so it was really kind of setting a new precedent to get access to all these facilities.

My dad's work with NASA probably had a lot to do with granting me permission, and that the film might shed some light on the Viking program which was a very significant event. It's not the most well-known space mission, however anyone you talk with at NASA always go back to Viking as one of the greatest achievements in the history of space exploration. Putting a robot on Mars and sending photographs back was a profound accomplishment.

If you go online to the website YouAreTheExperiment.com you can see some of these prequel videos I put together. The first one incorporates a lot of real footage of the real scientists on the day -- June 20, 1976 -- responding and reacting to photographs being transmitted back.

( Video of Sanjay with Stephen Colbert.........Zombies are actually a good example because they are sort of in this state between life and death. )

Sanjay Gupta (@Sanjayguptacnn), Chief Medical Correspondent for CNN, spoke to Stephen Colbert about his new book, Cheating Death.

He explained that there's more gray area between life and death than we normally think. Since it's not as easy to pinpoint the moment of death it gives doctors more chances to intervene, to "cheat death."

Is it a useful book in furthering the discussion of a taboo subject, or another doctor attempting to deny the reality we all face?

Variety reports that Screen Gems has acquired "Sheneneh and Wanda," a comic vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence to star in. The duo would play female characters they developed during their stand up comedy days in the caper film.

Foxx will write the script and he and Martin will produce together through Foxx's Foxxhole and Lawrence's Runteldat production companies.

The project originated as a parody of a movie trailer for a film called "Skank Robbers," which Foxx and Lawrence made for the BET Awards. The reaction was strong enough that the duo decided to turn the concept into a real film.

In the comedy, Sheneneh and Wanda are modern day independent women trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time.
