Judge People by the Books They Own?
First, I am in no way shape or form defending this psychopath. He is and always will be remembered as one of the most evil people in American history. It’s being reported that Adam Lanza had a book called “NRA Guide to The Basics of Pistol Shooting”. So what? Are you telling me that we are to judge people by the books they have in their possession? What does that say about [...]April 2, 2013
G.I. Joe Retaliation—Enjoyable Brain Candy
Brain candy. Brain candy. Brain candy. Not that that’s exactly news—I doubt anyone was going to see G.I. Joe Retaliation was expecting Shakespeare. The only real question was would this be enjoyable brain candy or worthless brain candy, and I have to say that this was enjoyable brain candy. Taking place sometime after G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, a some [...]Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Here’s a question for conservatives who are in favor of gay [...]March 23, 2013
Die Hard in the White House, or, a decent movie if you can ignore a lot
“The Presidency is bigger than any one man. Didn’t they teach you that at Yale?”—Secretary of Defense Dean, Air Force One (1997) Do you remember that line from the movie Air Force One? A line that reminded us that we are a government of laws not men; the laws that may be administered by men, but they are replaceable and rather interchangeable men. Obviously the current occupant [...]March 20, 2013

Oz the Great and Powerful and Slightly Flawed
Sam Raimi finally redeems himself from directing the monstrosity that was Spiderman 3. That would be the major thing I took away from Oz the Great and Powerful. That is not to say this visually stunning and at times emotionally moving movie is not without its flaws, some glaring, but as a family film this is an excellent movie. Oscar Diggs, known as Oz, is a cheap carnival magician in [...]
