LONDON (AP) ? British Prime Minister David Cameron is making the first radical overhaul of his Cabinet since taking office in 2010, amid a stalled economy and after a series of humbling policy reversals.
Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, whose Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties formed a coalition government in May 2010, are expected to announce a new team on Tuesday that includes several younger legislators.
Promotions are expected for lawmakers who are skeptical about ties with Europe and prepared to back additional cuts to welfare payments. The changes may also see the coalition government scrap its opposition to expanding London's Heathrow airport.
WHY DOES CAMERON'S GOVERNMENT NEED A SHAKE UP?
Britain's economy has slipped back into recession for the first time since 2009 ? with some analysts suggesting the government's plan to seek 81 billion pounds ($130 billion) in public spending cuts is choking off the prospects for growth.
A disastrous annual budget in March led to a series of policy reversals, denting the government's credibility. Treasury chief George Osborne had to ditch a planned 20 percent tax on hot snacks ? which came to be known as the pasty tax ? amid a public revolt over targeting food favored by the poor.
Last month, Cameron abandoned a pledge to transform Britain's unelected House of Lords into a mainly elected 462-seat chamber by 2025 due to fierce opposition from members of his own Conservative party. The 700-year-old body currently has about 775 working members, a mix of political appointees, peers who inherited a place and a few religious officials.
THE BIG DECISION
Cameron must decide whether to ditch Treasury chief Osborne, a friend who is his closest political ally. Osborne has taken the heat for the bungled budget and for the government's failure to lift the gloomy economic outlook. He has already warned that Britain will likely need two more additional years of government austerity policies after the 2015 national election ? a prospect that will dent the chances of a Conservative victory.
WHO FEARS THE AX?
Justice Secretary Ken Clarke, who joined Parliament in 1970, could be asked to step aside. The 70-year-old has angered some Conservative colleagues over his enthusiasm for European ties and recently ran into trouble when he suggested that some rapes were more serious than others.
The 41-year-old Sayeeda Warsi, the first female Muslim to serve in a British Cabinet, may lose her post as Conservative Party chairman and a roving Cabinet minister.
Despite his success in handling the London Olympics, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, 45, could be shifted after criticism over his close ties to James Murdoch, media mogul Rupert Murdoch's son.
Transport Secretary Justine Greening, 43, may be moved if Cameron plans to reverse his policy and allow a third runway to be built at London's beleaguered Heathrow Airport.
WHO ARE TIPPED TO RISE?
Housing minister Grant Shapps, 43, is a confident speaker tipped for promotion, while Maria Miller, the 48-year-old minister for disabled people, is expected to get a new high-profile job.
New lawmaker Claire Perry, 48, could win a government post after her successful campaign aimed at restricting access to Internet pornography.
Jo Swinson, a 32-year-old Liberal Democrat who campaigned against the use of airbrushed or unrealistic images of women in the advertising industry is also expected to be promoted.
WHO MIGHT BE MAKING A COMEBACK?
Liberal Democrat David Laws may return to the Cabinet. Laws, 46, stepped down as chief Treasury secretary ? the second ranking minister in the Treasury ? in 2010 after he admitted that he had claimed taxpayers' money to pay rent to his long-term partner, which is banned under Parliamentary rules.

Coming to the big screen this week is the story of three brothers who made and ran moonshine in Franklin County, VA, based on a book by local novelist Matt Bondurant with a screenplay written by Nick Cave. This indie release, directed by Aussie John Hillcoat, brings together a stellar cast in what ultimately is a beautifully filmed ultra-violent action drama but a missed opportunity to go deeper. What we get is a temporarily diverting two hours, but a film that doesn't really stay with you or scream "classic'" after the credits roll. One thing does stay with you long after the twitch-inducing violence recedes from your memory: the acting.
Tom Hardy as the laconic and mythically indestructible head of the family is compulsively magnetic to watch onscreen. Never has a character treatment been rendered so complex with so few syllables. He grunts more than speaks. Movie lovers, I know we've all been offered the "Hardy's the new big awesome" Kool-aid. It's officially time to take a swig.
Jason Clark as the alcoholic war-ravaged oldest brother has the most stable accent (there are multiple trouble spots in accent territory) and is also consistently compelling.? He is the emotionless muscle of the operation, but often lets his drinking to black out get in his way. We see his damage and genuinely feel for him, even as he pummels their unwitting adversaries into a crush-nose pulp.
Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain's roles are pivotal but all too small, but they do wonders with what is a bit cliched. Chastain is given a one-note character as Maggie, the mysterious gal from the big city satisfied to calm her life down by wiping and waiting tables at a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere. She may have little to say or do but as Forrest's love interest she smolders. She and Hardy could burst the screen into flames, they have such chemistry. Wasikowska as Bertha, Jack Bondurant's love of a preacher's daughter walking on the wilder side, glows in a nuanced performance playing up the character's innocence and reticent acceptance of his affections with a chastising glance here, a meaningful yet shy smirk there.
Dane DeHaan plays Cricket, Jack's cousin and partner in moonshine-making. The character is a sweet and simple soul, and DeHaan brings a truth and fragility to him that is heartbreaking. Last seen in the movie "Chronicle," here's hoping he continues his upward climb in Hollywood.
Guy Pierce, as the sadistic Charley Rakes, the pomaded and puffed up dandy of a "special agent," takes his performance way over the top and still fascinates. Walking away after beating someone nearly to death, he tut-tuts as he notices blood on his pretty purple gloves. Pierce never met a movie he couldn't enhance by a little scenery chewing, but his character as written is as one-dimensional as Simon Legree.
Gangster celeb Floyd Banner is played by Gary Oldman, in a disappointingly "you blink, you missed it" near-cameo. No one has ever said "Jeez, enough of Oldman already. That's enough screen time for him ?" File under missed opportunities.
Shia LaBeouf as Jack Bondurant has the biggest challenge, as the runt with a wavering moral compass constantly trying to prove he can keep up with or advance past his elder brothers. The audience must be on his side. In his role, he mustn't be too unsympathetic nor too much a cliche of "the good one."
His earnestness and his cockiness are in a constant battle. Though he starts out coming off as merely petulant and annoying, as the film wears on, his portrayal goes deeper, and we see more of his talent and developing skill as an actor than in any previous role. He finds ways to show his internal struggle, recklessly making both good and bad choices without losing the audience's favor. It is no wonder he was such a champion of getting the film made.
The script doesn't do him many favors. Clunky narration distracts and builds audience distance from the impressive no-holds-barred acting each time it is injected in the proceedings, thwarting forward movement. Nick Cave seems to vacillate between wanting a stark set piece character study and a gritty ultra-violent actioner. As a result, the violence meant to be taken as matter of fact is too jarring and it isn't until hours after the film concludes that the actors' hard work sinks in. It takes what could have been on par with Hillcoat's The Proposition in quality and genre expansion and sets its limits at being just another entertaining period drama with tommy guns and fast cars. No offense to Nick Cave (who did such a great job screenwriting Hillcoat's other films). It makes me wonder if novelist Matt Bondurant, who has strong ties to the raw material, as it is based on the story of his grandparents and his grandfather's brothers, would have made the film deeper and more cohesive.
Director John Hillcoat? has built a well-deserved following with his genre-reinventing film The Proposition and the bleak yet lyrical The Road. While this movie doesn't reach the heights of those films, it is better than most dramatic action films you'd see, and with far superior acting. It also marks another (all too rare) time where an indie film has both drawn big names, and filled many more screens than usual for a release not from a major studio. We moviegoers should support that whenever we can.
If you can stomach the brutality, the acting is certainly worthy of your time, as is knowing the real story on which it's based.
Besides ? who doesn't want to see IT boy Hardy and IT girl Chastain barely speak yet burn up the celluloid?
The film is showing at the Bellevue Cinema in Upper Montclair. Click here for showtimes.

The isle that served as the backdrop for the?hit television series "Gilligan?s Island" is going solar, for real. Somewhere off in TV land, the Professor Roy Hinkley is smiling.
Known as Coconut Island, or Moku o Lo?e, in real life, the Hawaiian isle is home to the Hawai?i Institute of Marine Biology. The institute recently entered a 20-year agreement with solar energy provider SolarCity.?
The company is installing solar panels with about 260 kilowatts of generation capacity. The panels will provide an estimated 25 percent of the institute?s energy needs.?
The university expects that percentage to increase as energy efficiency upgrades are completed and conservation practices are implemented. Savings over the life of the project are estimated at $2.3 million.
The 20-year deal is a power-purchasing agreement (PPA)?that locks in a below-market electricity rate, offering some protection from fluctuating energy prices.
The "rate is flat and locked in for the life of the PPA," Khyati Shah, a spokesperson for SolarCity, explained via email.
While the exact rate is undisclosed, it is currently 30 percent less than current market rates, Shah added.?
The marine biology institute is part of the University of Hawai?i Manoa, which has a campus-wide goal of getting 25 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2025.
Hawaii, which is drenched in sunshine, is a prime target for solar energy. In 2010, it imported 94 percent of its energy and had the highest electricity prices in the nation, according to the Energy Information Agency.?
"Electricity for commercial customers in Hawaii have increased approximately 8 percent annually for the past 10 years," SolarCity's Shah said.
As a result of high and climbing electricity rates, solar power is booming in the state. Capacity increased 150 percent in 2011, the EIA reported.
Gilligan's Island fans may recall that?Professor Hinkley created a few people-powered contraptions that generated electricity during the run of the television series. The installation of the solar panels should help keep the lights on without the sweat.
