A $100M box office is not a blockbuster for a film with $130M production budget and $50M in opening costs. The movie will need to gross over $300M worldwide to make a profit. Very unlikely. http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/ AFTER EARTH FIZZLES ... After Earth ... opened to $9.7M...

Glad to hear your wife is okay... but perhaps these aren't just "accidents." My neighbor's wife got into a series of accidents, and after the third one they started looking into medical causes. They went to a local university hospital for a complete neurological workup. Turned out she had a...

There may not be a civil case. If Zimmerman is acquitted because the jury rules that he acted in self-defense, there will be no civil case. Under Florida law (part of the stand-your-ground laws), a person found to be lawfully acting in self-defense is immune from civil action.

The most important facts are very much in dispute -- specifically the question of who initiated the fight. That's what will matter most to a jury. The opposing stories presented by defense and prosecution (and the fact that there are no independent eye-witnesses) will make it difficult for 12...

Gun Control: The theory that a woman lying dead in an alley is morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got shot.

Another way of saying we're screwed. We've got a president who's so bad at his job he only looks good only when compared to Congress. And we've got a Congress that's so bad they can't even look good when compared to an incompetent President. Yes, we're screwed. This would probably be a good...

In federal cases, pleading the fifth is often the first step in negotiating an immunity deal. Lerner has a lot to lose, in particular a very large government pension. She won't say a word until she's guaranteed not to go to jail and not to lose her pension.

Supply and demand it is... We live two blocks from the Pacific Ocean and pay the "luxury tax." Fortunately, we bought our house in 1992 when the tax wasn't quite as insane as it is now.

You're right, but people don't want to hear the truth. They only hear what they want to hear. ***** Gun ownership has surged while gun crime has fallen. ***** Gun crime has plunged, but Americans think it's up, says study...
