Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Killers'
Ashton Kutcher is arguably the most prolific twitterer in cyber space. Therefore, his fans knew what to expect from “Killers” long before opening night.

Letter: Assemblyman's attention
Circumstances are changing rapidly as a result of the economy, which makes transparency at all levels of government more important than ever. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank our Assemblyman Brian Nestande (64th District) for his attention to Canyon Lake and our residents.
