Roman Bromantic

By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time," "Cinema Classics," and "On the Marquee"

In 140 A.D., how could there be "bromance" without Seth Rogen or Steve Carell? Well, Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell do the honors, albeit without the dry humor, as Roman centurion Marcus Aquila and his slave, Esca, respectively. They are traveling north of Hadrian's Wall to find the gold eagle emblem lost by Marcus's dad along with 5000 Roman soldiers 20 years ago.

Columbus, OH – An explosion in prescription drug abuse is continuing across Ohio, so state legislators are vowing to pass a crackdown. A special task force last year made several recommendations, and lawmakers say they're ready to enact many of them. Details now from statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen.

Columbus, OH – Ohio will be the testing ground for a new approach to limiting abortions that will likely get looked at by several other Republican-dominated states, including Texas, Georgia and Oklahoma. But as Statehouse correspondent Karen Kasler reports, this first-of-its-kind bill to be unveiled today has both anti-abortion activists and pro-choice advocates lining up on the same side.
