Sundance 2014: The Voices reaction

,

Ryan Reynolds, it’s probably fair to say, hasn’t had the luckiest of mainstream successes. Green Lantern, The Change-Up, and R.I.P.D have all failed to set the box office alight, so it’s refreshing to see him go back to the indie pool that’s served him so well, at least artistically if not necessarily fiscally. Yet while The Voices has an undeniably killer high concept (reluctant schizophrenic serial killer takes advice from his talking cat and dog, bloodiness ensues), the end result is a tonal mess that never quite finds its feet.

For one, it allows businesses...

If it was sports drama The Fighter in 2011, which won Christian Bale and Melissa Leo their first Academy Awards for their supporting stints,...

LONDON: Scientists say two of the deadliest pandemics in history were caused by strains of the same plague and warn that new versions of the bacteria could spark future outbreaks. Researchers found tiny bits of DNA in the teeth of two German victims killed by the Justinian plague about 1,500 years ago. With those fragments, they reconstructed the genome of the oldest bacteria known. They concluded the Justinian plague was caused by a strain of Yersinia pestis, the same pathogen responsible for the Black Death that struck medieval Europe. The study was published online Tuesday in the journal, Lancet...
