The first and final shots in "Edge of Darkness" belong in a different movie. They are beautiful, poetic, and dark explorations of ambitious filmmaking. Unfortunately, the sense of wonder these images imply is corroded by the rest of the film.

"Edge of Darkness" wastes little time to establish its characters, mostly because that would detract from the mindless action of the story, before Emma Craven (Bojana Novakovic) is gunned down in front of her father's house.

This sends Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) on a mission to find her killers and bring them to justice: solo style. Craven basically gathers his information through beating the crap out of various individuals, instead of using the limited cognitive skills at his disposal.

Music’s biggest night was Taylor Swift’s impossible dream come true, as the 20-year-old singer-songwriter won four trophies, including the all-genre album of the year prize, at Sunday’s 52nd annual Grammy Awards. “I just hope that you know how much this means to me and to Nathan (Chapman) my producer, and to all these musicians you see on this stage, that we get to take this back to Nashville,” Swift said. “This is for my dad: Thank you for all those times you said I could do whatever I wanted in life.

“All of us, when we’re 80 years old and we’re telling the same stories again and again to our grandkids… this is the story we’ll be telling,” she said, as her self-penned (with Nashville song-scribe Liz Rose) “You Belong With Me” began playing as outro music and TV credits rolled.

Beyonce Knowles grabbed a night-topping six Grammys, including best song and best female pop vocal performance. Hers is the biggest one-night haul for any female artist in Grammy history. But in the end, the top prize went to Swift, whose win made her the third Nashville-based best album Grammy winner in the past eight years.

After spending the past two weeks in India preparing for the Indian Premier League in March, I am staggered at the recent treatment of the Pakistan players. I agree with Shahid Afridi that he and his countrymen were humiliated in the IPL auction in Mumbai last week.

It was common knowledge to all involved that the Pakistan players would not be bid for, due to the security concerns still lingering in India after the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

Eleven Pakistan players nominated for the auction and made the final list of 66 players. Unbelievably, the world Twenty20 champions received no interest from any of the franchise owners.

In devastating news for pop music in the new year, Beyonce Knowles told USA Today that she'll be taking a break from music in 2010 "to take a break, to recharge [her] batteries." She claims that she won't step a foot inside a music studio for at least six months in an attempt "to be inspired by things again."

Of course, with "Single Ladies" becoming a worldwide phenomenon and I Am... Sasha Fierce blowing up as it did, with a subsequent 110 city tour, Knowles certainly had a busy enough 2009. For her work she also netted 10 Grammy nominations, the most of any artist this year.

But after the Grammy's Knowles intends to relax, "I wrote out a contract with myself. I made a list of everything I want to do that has nothing to do with music... I promised myself that I would not go back on tour or in the studio until I finished these things." With Knowles out of the picture, Lady Gaga's intricate plot for global domination has come one step closer to fruition.
