Mel Gibson's return to acting (it's been eight years since Signs) is a welcome sight. His performance as Tom Craven,a Boston homicide detective whose 24-year-old daughter (Bojana Novakovic) is shotgun-executed before his eyes, shows his movie-star shine hasn't dimmed.  The years of boozing and accusations of anti-Semitism have left Gibson,54, looking thicker and worry-creased. But his acting has deepened. Too bad his comeback vehicle springs so many leaks. Edge of Darkness, the Americanization for short attention spans of the award-winning British miniseries from 1985, is a mixed bag even with the same director, Casino Royale's Martin Campbell. The plot complications involving nuclear waste and political maneuvering have been trivialized beyond all meaning. But watching Gibson in a revenge fantasy feeds all my needs for a bloodlusting B-movie feast.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
