Ryan Phillippe's 'Stop-Loss' opening
Posted by Lorrie LynchHollywood tries again to bring the Iraq war home with this weekend's Stop-Loss, a drama about a soldier forced to return to the war after his enlistment was supposed to be over. And though the movie has been praised by some reviewers, it's hard to know whether — following the box office debacles of Lions for Lambs, In the Valley of Elah and other war-themed bombs last year — Kimberly Peirce’s follow-up to Boys Don’t Cry can break the mold. Our L.A. writer Bart Mills says star Ryan Phillippe does his best to convey the sensitive macho hero’s dilemma — should he stay or should he go? — but there is no good answer, either in the movie or in life. This is the movie Phillippe made with Abbie Cornish, whom he was rumored to have been seeing when he and Reese Witherspoon were still married.

Are you a racist?I remember the days when there
was the "Parade" mini magazine.This mini mess,is
one sided and one colored,"white".As you can read
I'm not white, but I like to read an I'd like to
see more people of color included in your paper
as well as in the Who's News.I guess we don't
account for much, news wise!That's simply not true
so get on the ball, or have you heard the words
NAACP & boycott.News controls this country and
your paper is trying to take us back 15yrs.
