| "I fell in love with a female assassin" (Colombia) - The Independent |
|
Fascinating article from someone on the inside of the FARC/ Colombia civil war...... "I fell in love with a female assassin" They met on a train and fell in love. Then Jason P Howe discovered that his girlfriend Marylin was leading a secret double life – as an assassin for right-wing death squads in Colombia's brutal civil war. With their story set to become a major Hollywood film, he recalls an extraordinary, doomed romance |

| 2. They All Suck These Days |

The best movies I've seen this year have been "the Devil Wears Prada" (took me months to get over the advertising) and "27 Dresses". Both are based in New York, not Valley, both are more adult than adolescent, and while both deal with fashion, love and career, they do so in more than superficial ways.
Oh, and no guns or car chases or drugs even. How refreshing.
