What to do? Sigh.
A highly overrated director who generally flops whenever the limelight is on him (Superman Returns), whose best effort is gigantically exaggerated (The Usual Suspects) and who generally delivers when entirely ignored (Apt Pupil).
A blowhard, borderline psychotic actor (Tom Cruise) who takes arguably, almost relevant and intelligent points (perhaps we are slightly overmedicating children) and blows them so far out of proportion that you not only vehemently disagree with him but want him committed(Oprah's couch, Matt Lauer's interview).
Finally a movie reviewer whose reviews I've never agreed with.
Quite a quandry indeed. Guess I'll just have to see Valkyrie and make up my own mind. It's not like this movie's gonna do any box office anyway. Plus it's always kind of peaceful sitting in an empty movie theather. This one's a must see for me.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
