The annual "Who's Film Career Is Less Relevant?" Contest! I found myself in a darkened room surrounded by many strange women that were easily more than twice my age. I could just make out their silhouettes from the meager light given off by the projection onscreen. The film, set in Greece, was a harrowing look into the past of a woman's sexual history and the toll her promiscuity took on the relationship she was trying to forge with her daughter. On this bleak island paradise lost,

15 years ago, a Fresno woman told her husband to blow the whistle on a Fortune 500 Company or she would do it for him. He did and

There are plenty of things I could write about today, be it the Jeremy Shockey trade to the Saints, the mass of injuries threatening to destroy the New York Yankees, or even give my official review of The Dark Knight which I finally saw last night. But alas, I am not even remotely motivated and rather than mail in another mediocre entry, I figured I'd scour Wikipedia and see if anything interesting occurred on this day in history. I was stunned to see just how many people -who are

890 and counting ? July 22nd, 2008 Finished The Bourne Legacy by Eric Van Lustbader. The original Bourne books were written by Robert Ludlum, who passed away. But Lustbader has written some new Bourne books based on Ludlum?s world/characters (kind of like the non-Ian Fleming James Bond books). I believe Legacy is the first of three Bourne books Lustbader has penned. In this one, Jason Bourne (real name David Webb) is working as a linguistics professor at a college when someone ta

[Breathless Celebrity Gossip!!!] Steven Blum's interview in The Stranger with storyteller (and personal idol) David Sedaris is all too brief*, but well worth reading. In the interview, Sedaris mentions a Website about actor Matt Damon which features a "When I Met Matt" comment board. Sedaris says that he is capable of dreaming up better adjectives for Damon than "cute"--perhaps implying that he may have left a comment on the site. Now, I'm not implying causality here. These could b

We often learn about a certain actor signing on for a certain part and immediately decide it?s a bit of a stretch. Most of the time we?re right. But on occasion questionable castings turn out to be awesome. Here are eight examples of just that. Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. In 2002 the majority of reactions to The Bourne Identity trailer were some version of, ?Really? Matt Damon?? No one had an issue with Matt Damon the actor, but there were a lot of questions about Matt Damon the ac

When I?d first heard that a Bourne game was on the way, I was a tad skeptical. When I?d heard Matt Damon refused his likeness, I was beyond skeptical. When I heard that it was going to distance itself from the films and focus on the books, a skeptical bird flew through my window and hit me in the face, knocking me clear out of my skeptical chair. But then I?d starting hearing things ? good things ? and my skepticism turned to curiousity. So how did it play out? Despite attempts t

What is it about one of the world?s darkest and most evil professions that makes it seem so sexy and appealing on the big screen? Whether it be slow motion shoot-outs, ass kicking kung-fu or just Angelina Jolie strutting around in next to nothing, the silver screen has always been kind to the morally questionable profession of contract killing.

But soon the hype and pressure that he encountered before the release of ?The Dark Knight? will pale as everyone in the industry all ask the question - what?s next? Here are several suggestions we have for Nolan. Dear Mr. Nolan, Congratulations for not only reviving the ?Batman? franchise, but for also giving non-fans a film for the ages in ?The Dark

I sat across the table from Les. We regarded each other with solemn expressions, each putting on our best poker face. Desperation had brought me here. I was hard-up for cash, willing to part with one of my rarest and most prized possessions. Like me, Les is in his mid-twenties. We grew up together, but we couldn?t have looked less alike. Les is tall, stout, with a full head of hair. You can tell it wasn?t so long ago he was playing on the high school football team. Me, I?m wiry, s

I have long enjoyed A. O. Scott's reviews in the New York Times, which for me are equalled only by those of The New Yorker's Anthony Lane. So it is with some disappointment that I must say that the Times' newer reviewer, Manohla Dargis, is terrible. She mixes overwriting with cliche in a way that is unprecedented in the history of prose. Take, for instance, her review of The Dark Knight. She approves of the casting in the new franchise that began with Batman Begins: director Christ
