The IOC is investigating the age of the Chinese “women’s” gymnastic team. The parent’s meanwhile are outraged. Said the parents: “We’d have aborted these girls to erase the shame if we’d know this was going to happen!” “We are outraged. We play fair!”
I suggest the Hollywood Test. If Roman Polanski is turned on — then [...]

MOVIES THAT RUINED THE WORLD: Rounders (1998)
The Movie
John Dahl’s “Rounders” survives on the breadth of a supporting cast that carries much more heft than its leads, or its flimsy and flawed script. Still, this myth-making ode to poker hits enough right notes and is indelibly entertaining.

This is surprising to me. Roger Waters has approved the use of his work by the band Blurred Vision who has turned the song, Another Brick In The Wall, into a protest against the Iranian Mullahs.

Ross Douthat’s latest is on the new craze in defaulted mortgages – the rich, or the faux-rich. Those with million-dollar mortgages are defaulting at twice the rate of those with mere normal middle-class mortgages. Guess which mortgage holders are expected to pick up the tab? This is the inherent condition, and ultimately the result, of [...]

Whatever director-writer Joe Carnahan’s plan was for his remake of the 80s television series The A-Team, it didn’t come together.
Stuck in the development dungeon for the better part of 10 years, The A-Team feels as if it were pieced together in 10 minutes from 10 different scripts. Nowhere is this more apparent then the ridiculous [...]
