Beer Brand Beer
I want to go out drinking at the Generic Movie Bar. I’m not sure where it is, but it must be out there somewhere because it seems like every time characters in a movie go to a bar its the same place. Sure, the decor and ambiance may differ from romantic comedies to weepy drams, [...]

Bear Fight! And Atheism… The Golden Compass Review
12.02.07 | Permalink | 3 CommentsThis past Saturday, I got a sneak preview showing of The Golden Compass.

Surveying the Field: CSI: Riyadh, Kids Say the Darnedest Things to Football Players, and Sex & Sensibility
I thought The Kingdom was pretty bad-ass, all things considered. This one is worth your time, even though it won’t change the world and isn’t as deep as it seems to think it is.
The Game Plan seems like a regrettable move for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Perhaps not quite as regrettable as trying to get [...]
