Buso Renkin DVD

Like a certain pompadoured punk, Kazuki's tale begins with his death. He is killed while saving a girl from a monster behind his school, only to find that the girl didn't need his help at all. Tokiko is an alchemical warrior tough enough to make nails look wussy, and she ends up saving poor Kazuki's dead bacon by planting an alchemical weapon in the hole where his heart used to be. To his, and maybe two or three viewers', surprise, he awakes to find he has gained something. Unfortunately it isn't a pompadour, but rather the ability to summon a powerful lance capable of destroying homunculi like the one that killed him. Someone, it seems, is creating the human-gobbling nasties, and in order to protect his cute but obnoxious sister Mahiro and his not-so-cute but still obnoxious friends, he joins forces with Tokiko to fight Papillon, the per

Hans Reiser May Reveal Location of his Wife's Body

Alameda County District Attorney Thomas Orloff suggested that Hans Reiser might tell police where the body of his estranged wife is. He faces a 25 year to live prison term, and this is one of the few options he has to negotiate a reduced sentence. Last month a jury found Reiser guilty of killing his wife, who disappeared in September 2006. Reiser maintained that his wife went back to her native Russia after being accused of embezzling money from his company. According to the rumors Reiser's cooperation in locating the body may reduce his conviction from first-degree murder to second degree.

Mission Why Bother: Tom Cruise Promises To BlogOr Will The Site Just Self-Destruct?

Okay, stop jumping up and down on the couch. This is important: actor Tom Cruise is celebrating 25 years since his first starring movie role with a new website, TomCruise.com. And he is promising to blog about life on the set. Rather than being known for his films, lately the three-time Academy Award nominee has been better known for his couch-hopping activity on Oprah, his war of words with Brooke Shields over anti-depressants and his bizarre Scientology video ("It’s rough and tumble, it’s wild and woolly..."). USA Today highlights Cruise’s blog promise. On his site, Cruise states he wants to “bring you in and share with you the fun I experience every day during the filmmaking process, from working with the script, to the making of the film through to what we finally see when we settle in our seats and the lights go down.

Vaughan's Twenty20 reputation tumbles

Michael Vaughan's form was the talk of Lord's in the build-up to this Test. Short of runs in New Zealand, as well as for Yorkshire in the early season, the murmurings about his role would have risen an octave or two had he failed to cash in in this game. But a return to his favoured No. 3 position, coupled with a bright sunny day for batting, gave him the perfect platform to restate his credentials. This was his 18th Test century, and his sixth at Lord's. But, it is a measure of how favourable England batsmen now find the ground, no fewer than seven colleagues have made 13 hundreds here since Vaughan's last, against Bangladesh in 2005 - each of his current top-six colleagues, plus Marcus Trescothick and Matt Prior.
