This is a question I believe is often asked of veterans who have served in almost any war and offers in the DELIVERED, a film by Michael Madison. Michael Broadway in the mask, sin-quasi mad, along with Thomas Merrigan in the pained medium, in changes but still revealing MD in the latter. This is more […]

I have spent hundreds of hours in the worlds of Gearbox Software and 2K Games’ “Borderlands,” enraptured by its addictive structure, one that encourages exploration, teamwork, and a constant pursuit of new weapons to unleash on waves of enemies (I’ve written about it here and here, among many other places).

What’s Going On? There are a lot of moving pieces as the Act of War begins. Jack Scalia is at his very stunning, uh, low-tech multi-faceted Hollywood briefcase.

Eventually, I got around to watching this film, and wow it was quite a gripping comedy, revolving around two characters, detective Norm Gannon, as well as Nathan Thomas,

I didn’t think Doug Liman could deliver a worse film than “Road House,” the plastic, overwrought remake of the 1980s cult classic.

At the beginning of the movie, he commands an entire family to be killed, but a monk intervenes and manages to take the youngest children to safety. The sisters undergo intense Shaolin kung fu training at the monastery and once they become adults (portrayed
