- Recently, we've seen films like District 9 and Monsters, which reimagined the aliens-from-space genre in smart, imaginative ways. This is back to the old school – daft, but it gives you a few bangs for your buck. Aaron Eckhart plays a tough-yet-troubled Marine sergeant who must find personal redemption by leading his men against a horde of yucky aliens attempting to invade Los Angeles. The aliens themselves look metallic and ungainly, as if about to transform into a Nissan Micra, with plenty of firepower. As Ernest Thesiger might have said: oh my dear, thenoise, the extraterrestrials. Occasionally Eckhart gets all choked up as he bonds with his men, whose initial suspicions soften, blubberingly, into a massed khaki bromance. Plenty of aliens get their squishy butts kicked, but there may not be any combat or strategy lessons to be applied in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition
