I was a product of the '50s, when television was just becoming popular. All we had then was Black & White, but without, I'd never have seen the Zapruder film of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the wonder of the first lunar landing in 1969. Later on came color TV, and with it the horrors of the Vietnam War, the god-awful vision of 9/11/01, and countless other news events.

In his new movie, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Ben Stein decides to take a page from the Michael Moore school of film-making in his attempt to debunk evolution and the science community that teaches it.

Horror, Fantasy, Romance, Mystery, and Science Fiction may not often great literature make, but these five specialty genres are the mainstays of escapist / genre fiction, which also just happens to be one of the mainstays of the American publishing industry.

Anti-war advocates have long insisted that vocally opposing the war was their way of supporting US troops. Conservatives, in contrast, argued that anti-war rhetoric does nothing but embolden the enemies of the United States. A new study appears to indicate that during the Iraq War, the conservatives were right.

War has always been a compelling topic for film; indeed, the "father film" of the American motion picture industry (Birth of a Nation, filmed in 1915) was set in the American Civil War, and the early Russian classic Bronenosets Potyomkin (1925) was set during a failed 1905 uprising against the Russian Czar.

Aaaah, July in San Diego. The perfect waves for breaking out the fun - and fishboards. The evenings to watch Sea World work through their leftover July 4th stock of fireworks. And at the end of the month, you can drop the cool attitude, team up with all the other geeks across America, and go get your nerd on at - no, not Over the Line, that ended last week! I'm talking about Comic-Con here.
