All You Need is Kill
To tie in with the release of the film "Edge of Tomorrow," Haikasoru has published a graphic novel based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's "All You Need is Kill," from which the film was adapted.

The day JFK died: Fifty years on, the assassination still haunts Americans
The murder of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on Nov. 22, 1963, forever changed America. I was 16 years old when it happened, and still haven't fully come to terms with it. The indelible sense of loss and still-unanswered questions — How it could have been allowed to happen? Who was behind it? — drew me to Dallas nearly half a century later.

Fifty years later, conspiracy theories live on
"Any concerted plan that placed Lee Harvey Oswald in the gunner's seat," wrote Norman Mailer in "Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery," "would have had to have been built on the calculation that he would miss." Yet Mailer, whose research took him back to the city of Minsk, where Oswald had lived under constant KGB surveillance while in the Soviet Union, said he believed Oswald was likely to have been the perpetrator.

Fox tackles history in 'Emperor'
Actor Matthew Fox saw his career take off in the 1990s with the role of Charlie Salinger in the American TV series "Party of Five," and he gained even more popularity as Jack Shephard, the central character in the innovative series "Lost."

Bonner Fellers, who investigates the wartime guilt of Emperor Hirohito (posthumously known as Emperor Showa) is surely his biggest movie role to date, coming as it does after 2008's "Vantage Point."
