Review: ‘Blue Caprice’ is mature and intelligent Associated Press Writer
figure renders him highly susceptible to the older man’s influence. The bottomless pit of John’s anger becomes steadily more apparent back in the U.S., as he takes Lee on a tour of the middle-class suburban neighborhood of his former life. He talks of the evil that lives there, the ghosts left behind, and the vampires like his ex-wife, who sucked him dry. Since their return from Antigua, she has taken out a restraining order against him and removed their children to parts unknown. This gnaws at him like a cancer. When Lee is taken along with John and his Army buddy Ray (Tim Blake Nelson) to let off steam with some target practice in the woods, he reveals himself to be a natural with a gun. Watching the boy’s face the first time a semi-automatic “widow-maker” is placed in his hands is especially disquieting in light of recent events.

War-weary US marks 12th anniversary of 9/11 attacks
LOS ANGELES — “Blue Caprice” is a disturbing, masterfully controlled thriller based on the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. The national discussion of mass shootings and gun control stands to heighten the impact of director Alexandre Moors’ headturning debut, which is driven by performances of brooding intensity from Isaiah Washington and Tequan Richmond. Following a grainy montage of news and surveillance video accompanied by traumatized 911 calls reporting shootings in the D.C. area, the story opens amid the lush island vegetation of Antigua in the Caribbean. A teenage boy, Lee (Richmond), watches in mute fury as his mother leaves their home to take work elsewhere, saying she’ll be back for him. But as her absence stretches on, Lee grows bored, frustrated and then desperate, seemingly attempting to drown himself in the rough surf. He is rescued and taken in by John (Washington), a visiting American whose three young daughters have been removed from their country in violation of a custody agreement. With no word from Lee’s mother, John eventually takes him back to Tacoma, Wash. From early in their relationship, John begins drilling his life-is-unfair views into Lee, whose absence of a father

This film image released by IFC Films shows Isaiah Washington as John Allen Muhammad, foreground, and Tequan Richmond as Lee Boyd Malvo in “Blue Caprice.” After John’s erratic behavior gets them kicked out by his girlfriend (Cassandra Freeman), they end up staying with Ray and his equally trashy partner Jamie (Joey Lauren Adams), providing access to Ray’s arsenal of firearms.
Drummer’s appendectomy forces Bon Jovi tour change
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — Drummer Tico Torres’ emergency appendectomy in Mexico City has forced Bon Jovi to postpone concert dates. The band postponed Tuesday’s show in Mexico City after Torres checked into the American British Cowdary Hospital. Jon Bon Jovi says in a Facebook post the band is staying with Torres until he is released from the hospital. Bon Jovi apologized to fans who might have been inconvenienced or were traveling to the concerts in Mexico City, Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. The band’s website says concerts in those cities have been rescheduled for later this month. Bon Jovi said Torres wanted to play Tuesday’s gig after the surgery “but the doctors prevailed.” The band is scheduled to return to the road Sept. 20 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

NEW YORK CITY - War-weary Americans on Wednesday marked the 12th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, with President Barack Obama -- for now holding fire on Syria -- saying force alone cannot “build the world we seek.”

In New York, the US capital Washington and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, relatives of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the hijacked airliners and on the ground gathered for somber remembrance ceremonies. “Our hearts still ache for the futures snatched away, the lives that might have been,” Obama said at the Pentagon, where 184 died when one of the planes struck the building. “They left this Earth. They slipped from our grasp.” US troops invaded Afghanistan shortly after the 9/11 attacks to oust the Taliban for giving refuge to Al-Qaeda, and Obama gave thanks to the American forces who served
there -- but noted the war was now coming to a close. He said the United States would remain vigilant in the face of future terror threats but said military might alone could not bring peace and security. “Let us have the wisdom to know that while force is at times necessary, force alone cannot build the world we seek,” he said. On Tuesday, Obama delivered an address to the nation in which he explained why he was for now holding off on punitive military strikes against Syria over its alleged chemical weapons use.
“I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria. I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan,” he said. Polls show a majority of Americans -- weary of war after US interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan -- oppose action in Syria. Obama has asked for Congressional approval of his plan for limited strikes, but he has yet to garner the support needed on Capitol Hill. Votes have been put off as US Secretary of State John Kerry heads to Geneva for talks with Russia’s foreign minister about a Moscow-led plan to neutralize the chemical arsenal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In New York, 9/11-era mayor Rudolph Giuliani wiped away a tear at the Ground Zero event, which began with a moment of silence at 8:46 am (1246 GMT), marking the time when the first plane smashed into the World Trade Center.
