It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies.

Do people and friends come and go for a reason? Or is it just coincidence?


The question has been on my mind a lot lately since someone I thought I had formed a really good friendship with up and decided that it was ridiculous to continue to be friends with someone 2000 miles away, but last night I met someone else that made me wonder the same thing.  It’s like […]

Movie Review: Disney’s Enchanted (3/5)


If cliches and corny lines makes a movie then…well, darn, they really made this one good!  Disney’s Enchanted takes all the cliches and stereotypes from any typical fairytale and uses them to make fun of itself, all the while presenting an entertaining fairytale story of its own.  Imagine taking the typical fairytale princess from anyone of Disney’s animated […]

Movie Review: August Rush (3/5 stars)


If cliches and corny lines made a movie, then August Rush would be considered one of the best! Unfortunately for the movie, those things tend to take away from a good movie (with few exceptions, one of which is Disney’s Enchanted, reviewed in the very next entry (how do you link it?), and what could […]

Movie Review: Bella (5/5 stars)


First, let me tell you about my experience going to see this movie: This past Saturday night (Nov. 17), after hearing about this independent film from my uncle and how much trouble it was having getting a distributor (some suspect because of its positive message), I decided to go see Bella at the single theatre […]

From The Weekly Standard (I love the pics)…
Selected quotes (and commentary):
RON PAUL TOOK IN $4.2 million in honor of Guy Fawkes Day Monday. While this is a wonderful haul for the congressman, it’s not quite accurate to say he raised it or even that his campaign raised it. Paul supporters organized the event […]

Movie Review: Martian Child (3/5 Stars)


John Cusack fits very well in the role of a widower and science-fiction writer adopting a very troubled boy who thinks he’s from Mars.  Martian Child is a movie that I almost gave 4/5 stars to, as it was very deep and enjoyable.  The movie certainly highlights the difficulties in getting over the loss of a […]

Kids these days…the latest drug craze


The Smoking Gun has posted a FL sheriff’s bulletin alerting people to the new drug craze (gotta click the link to see what it is…I’m NOT explaining that type of “shit” in my blog…pun intended).  Are people really that desperate to find an escape for life?  Whatever happenned to sniffing glue?  Or paint?  Why must one reduce […]

Movie Review: American Gangster (4/5 stars)


American Gangster starring Denzel Washingston tells the story of organized crime boss and heroin dealer Frank Lucas, who, according to the movie was bigger than the mafia when it came to selling dope. From the movies fiery and dramatic opening scene until the very somber closing shot, Washington’s portrayal of Lucas demonstrates a complex […]
