General

A poor review of Underworld my a critic who isn’t into the genre. He simply isn’t equipped to keep up and doesn’t like the genre to begin with, so don’t pay him too much heed. Those who enjoy the vampire and/or werewolf genre will likely enjoy the film handily. The rules are generally known. The older you are, the more powerful you are and the more neat stuff you can do, such as ejecting bullets and the outlasting grievous harm. He does have one thing right, though, Kate makes a good vamp in most senses of the word. 😉

International Papers looks at international response to Iran and, surprise, possibly Saudi Arabia going after the da bomb. Iran is largely digging itself deeper with its run around. I’m curious, thought, how the US would react of Saudi Arabia got their hands on nukes.

Today’s Papers has follow up on Isabel, the UN bombing in Iraq and a mortar attack, previews of Bush’s UN speech and more. Remember, even if I don’t’ write news for a day, Slate always has Today’s Papers to help you catch up in one page.
