The issue of abortion is not decided by the attitude or verbal skill of the person arguing for or against it.

FIlm Review: “The Tailor of Panama”

His name is Osnard. Andy Osnard. An arrogant yet sly British spy with a taste for liquor, fine linen suits, and nymphomaniac diplomats in skirts. He picks safes, drives nice cars and is oh so charming. Of course, there is no one more qualified to play Osnard than “Mr. Shaken-not-stirred” himself, Pierce Brosnan. British spies, […]

Semisonic | All About Chemistry | MCA

This is just embarrassing. Rather, it’s unfortunate. All About Chemistry acts as a sober reminder of the effects that ego, money and time can have on a band. Semisonic, or more specifically, lead singer Dan Wilson, has become selfish and overindulgent in what he perceives as a concept album. A misguided attempt at expressing love […]
