Dour <em>Die Hard</em>: <em>Olympus Has Fallen</em>, Reviewed.
If you're going to make a movie where the White House is destroyed and the fate of the American government hangs in the balance, it at least ought to be fun to watch.

I Got Paid To Cheer For Another NCAA Tournament Team, And Other Confessions Of A Spirit Squad Member
Class is in session at my university this week, but I won't be there. I'll be a part of March Madness, but I'm not a basketball player.

A Big-Hearted Mess. <em>Admission</em>, Reviewed.
Admission is such a mess, its good ideas knotted up with its unfocused and bad ones, that even if you end up liking the damn thing, you may find yourself apologizing for its faults.
