It’s been a while since I’ve seen a truly original film, and this one is no exception. While the plot and dialogue cover concepts such as monism, nihilism, and existentialism, the film fell just slightly flat of being something more than a light comedy. It did have a good line, though: “You rock, rock.” Overall, [...]

Management has made me Korean
After 5 years of the Anti-Service initiative, Ruby Tuesday has made the move to SERVICE as our main company focus. It’s good to know that a venerable restaurant chain can still swing wild.

New version of Y is out
If you haven’t read Y yet, it’s a good time to start. In the summer of 2002, a plague of unknown origin destroys every last sperm, fetus, and fully developed mammal with a Y chromosome – with the exception of amateur escape artist Yorick Brown and his surly male helper monkey Ampersand.

People have considered hockey “broken” for a long time, primarily because it hasn’t been a high revenue sport compared [...]
Now this is one compassionately named, heavily armed submarine
The Navy welcomes the USS Jimmy Carter.
Soon Sharon Stone will not equal Basic Instinct for Evil Bastard
