Thoughts from an Evil Overlord (Free subscription) | 11/22/2009
Every year a few new Christmas movies hit theaters, some I want to see and others just don't appeal to me. This year I'd like to see the Disney Christmas Carol in 3-D. Sadly for me I'm not allowed to go to movie theaters because of germs, and I know it won't be the same on TV next year. We've all got our favorites, maybe even more than one.

I do remember, but it takes some work. Earlier this week there was a poster debut for his new film Extraordinary Measures, which was notable for the image being extraordinarily forgettable. Now the trailer has hit for the Harrison Ford film, which co-stars Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell as a couple whose two kids are diagnosed with a terminal disease. They go to a researcher, played by Ford, and attempt...

Zimbabwe has escaped suspension from the Kimberly process - the certification scheme which regulates the sale of so-called blood diamonds. Instead, the 70-member international diamond trade body has agreed to give Zimbabwe more time to reform its mining practices. Rights groups alleged soldiers killed about 200 people at a diamond field last year, which the government denies. The decision came as talks...

Jonathan Isaby is plugged in and he is suggesting the speculation about Miliband D accepting the job in Europe and thus triggering a South Shields by election in true. Will Mandy attempt a return to the Commons? Well Karen Allen might have something to say about that . This would also kill the Blair for President campaign stone dead.

South Shields’ MP’s ears must be burning! Even the lonely political Lib-Dem blogger from Gateshead is musing over Miliband’s future, which just makes me think, if he does go to Brussels they’d better find someone just as interesting to replace him here in South Shields (said with tongue firmly in cheek). Karen Allen would be a [...]

There are occasional reminders why, amidst all the bullshit that flies in my profession these days, I still write about movies. Today, that reminder is Where The Wild Things Are . Simply put, it is the great film about divorce and its effect on children of this generation. The last English-language film that hit the subject so cleanly and skillfully was Alan Parker’s long forgotten 1982 masterpiece,...

They don't make action movies like they used to and that's the first thing that comes to mind while watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first film that launched the Indiana Jones franchise.
