  • Army intelligence officer concludes: 'Zero Dark Thirty' is more right than wrong Posted By Thomas E. Ricks Monday, February 25, 2013 - 10:40 AM By Lt. Col. Douglas Pryer, U.S. Army Best Defense department of war movie reviews To…
  • Despite all the raves I wasn't that impressed with the original Dragon Tattoo movies. I thoroughly enjoyed the American version. Thought the girl was much more dysfunctional than in the original where she's just a pissed off punk girl.

  • Plus he was twice found responsible for beating a suspect resisting arrest but because he was black and LAPD we're going to ignore that, because it was LAPD!
  • He was black and it was LAPD so he was completely justified in killing as many people as he could!
  • P.S. - two separate police scanner conversations were recorded and put on the internet with officers saying that they purposely set the cabin on fire. Now the police are denying that and saying that the cause is "under investigation."
  • Please correct me if I get this story wrong. The cause of Dorner's murder spree was because a suspect was beat for resisting arrest. Dorner blamed his supervisor, who disputed his claim. An investigation claimed Dorner did the beating. He app…
  • Slam dancing only works given the right mix of people and the venue. In the early 1980s slam dancing could be dangerous in many places in San Francisco for example. There were tons of Nazi skinheads and plenty of total jerks and fights happened quit…

  • DJ_Enki said:Rudy Gay to Toronto in a three-team trade. One thing that was weird: Dallas was in contention for Gay, but they didn't want to give up Vince Carter. Really? You wouldn't give up Vince Carter to get Rudy Gay? How would that not be an upg…

  • If you saw how Jackson was coaching at the beginning of the year you would have said the same thing.
  • Who is the only team in the NBA that's beaten the Clippers, Thunder and Heat? The Golden State Warriors

  • So if black people like Django they've been fooled by the white man????
  • Haven't seen the movie but Peter Bergen who is one of the leading Al Qaeda specialists in the world said that it gives a good idea of how the U.S. actually tracked down bin Laden. He said that the torture scene at the beginning was actually more gra…
  • I too think Stax is reading way too much into the movie, and at times getting out of hand IMHO. Here's my take one specific scene Stax mentioned. After being freed by Schultz he has the discussion with Django. The first thing he says i…

  • Warriors just won season series with Clippers 3-1 after today's victory. Go Dubs!

  • Burns said:How can you people go see this movie two to three times? Its way too long. I have more to do in my life than sit thru a 165min movie again!! The movie is entertaining though. Thought the Rick Ross song was to appeal to black crowds.…
  • The majority of reviews in magazine and newspapers have given Django positive comments. There are negative reviews of course, some of which focus upon the violence (I think the New Yorker gave it a negative review in part because of that), the use o…
  • To be the dissenter I saw the movie for the third time last night and still loved it. They did some foreshadowing about the wanted poster about 1/3 of the way through the movie. I also didn't think Schultz shooting Candy was a dramatic change in his…

  • I have a mix CD with a bunch of Finnish stuff on it that a friend made for me. When I get home I'll try to dig it up and give you some of the tracks and groups on it.
