  1. Spent the ady yesterday at the multiplex while my truck was being worked on. 3 Days To Kill was completely forgetable, even though I enjoyed the script last year. Robocop wa a steaming turd.

      It's not a looking over my shoulder at the last decade and complaining, it's a crap and more crap thing. And sbbn, there was a pretty good "get off my lawn" movie - Clint Eastwood's Gran Turino!!!

  9. A famous actor goes on the run after he comes under suspicion for being connected (usually by six degrees) to every murder victim in the country. Kevin Bacon is... GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!

  15. Gizmado is listing the best Cyber Monday deals, and I'm interested in a e-reader 'cause it's so damn cheap ($39). Has anyone had experience with a Nook Simple Touch?
