Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Better get your jollies before the show, because Reyan Ali thinks Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is fresh out of comedy.

Return of the Living Dead Boys

Matthew Moyer has his eye on a nice, new pair of leather suspenders -- and he's gonna wear them while watching Return of the Living Dead boys.

Roman de Gare

Halfway through watching this stylish and engrossing French murder mystery, Carl F Gauze begin to suspect it was HE who was the killer after all.

Tad: Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears

You think copyright infringement's today's hot topic? Tad's been there and done that, and they're so over it, they're over it. Scott Adams drinks a nameless, fizzy soft drink in toast to Seattle's grunge pioneers.

The Counterfeiters

A Jewish engraver in a concentration camp works to counterfeit the British pound for the Nazis and stay alive. Not for the squeamish, Carl F Gauze cautions, but still a compelling piece of filmmaking.

Young @ Heart

I hope I die before I get old? Not a chance, sez Carl F Gauze, after seeing a chorus of retirees give their all belting out numbers by Talking Heads, James Brown, and the Ramones.
