Movieline's Week in Review: Cruel and Unusual

Let us herewith call an end to a week when you couldn't help but feel under attack -- from the sky, from the ground, from the sea... oh, from the sea. What's more to say that Movieline's old standby Week in Review can't say any better? Drop by in the days ahead for the fine binary-code stylings of weekend editor Dixon Gaines and all of our coverage from SXSW. Have a great weekend!

· The Adjustment Bureau could have been better. Alas, Red Riding Hood and Battle: Los Angeles were pretty much screwed.

· Charlie Sheen lost a job but gained a machete. Others weren't so lucky.

· We determined the real reason movie aliens attack -- except for maybe the Super 8 ones.

· Thanks to our illustrious interviewees, including Juliette Binoche, Kristen Wiig, Catherine Hardwicke, Mia Wasikowska, Liev Schreiber, Josh Radnor, Shiloh Fernandez and Verge designee Noel Fisher.

· Rango drew the condemnation of activists who should probably focus on fixing Things Fall Apart.

· Sarah Palin was touchy, touchy with her cultural enemies.

· Movieline hero Dionne Warwick survived the Celebrity Apprentice premiere (barely). Cheer for her Sunday!
