A brilliant movie in a sci-fi/thriller blend discussing the future of intelligence gathering and terrorism.

McCain says Senator Obama, Obama says John.  Not very respectful.
What?  Did Obama really just switch to domestic policy issues on a question about foreign policy?  Oh that’s right…he’s just running through his list of talking points…ok…
Obama likes to play the blame game.  “We still don’t have Bin Laden.” What are you going to do about [...]

Takes place in 2012 after the US economy has collapsed…and both Laura and I go: “Wait, they’re four years off!” 
A very enjoyable exposition of a societal return to gladiatorial games.

Yay Coen Brothers! Except for a slightly unsatisfying ending (what happened to that character?), it was very enjoyable.
Again a film that I didn’t expect to be rated R, but is all the better, particularly for John Malkovich’s character.  “You’re Mormon!  Next to you we all have a drinking problem!”
Yay J.K. Simmons!
While Brad Pitt’s funniest [...]
