Mike Adams — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:03:03 +0000

Mad scientists have been hard at work trying to develop a sex-drive-enhancement drug for women ever since those wily old coots emerged nearly 15 years ago with a little blue pill called Viagra. Interestingly enough, it appears as if science is no match for men dedicated to breeding a society full of hornier women, because those fiends have done it.

If you’re one of those impatient people who gets a refund anticipation loan (RAL) from a tax preparer, enjoy it while it lasts — after this year, those loans are going away. And it’s probably for your own good.

John Story — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 15:21:00 +0000

At this point in the Movie Summer of 2011, it’s not easy being a movie lover like yours truly. Only a few to really praise, and plenty to yawn at. GREEN LANTERN – One of the more entertaining tent-pole extravaganzas to come along, it tells of an American test pilot chosen by a passing alien to [...]

Story At The Movies: THOR

John Story — Fri, 13 May 2011 17:18:03 +0000

Now at the Evansville IMAX: The latest superhero thingy (not quite a movie but lots more than a comic book) from Marvel Comics Studio, “Thor,” a gigantically noisy but fun-for-the-fans exercise in silly plotting, overacting, and colorful images in good 3D. There’s this king of Asgard see, his name is Odin and he’s worshipped as a [...]

Story At The Movies: FAST FIVE

John Story — Fri, 06 May 2011 16:45:52 +0000

The most popular movie on planet Earth right now stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson. Somehow I knew Diesel was gonna be huge when I saw him in “Pitch Black” many years ago, and said so publicly. Always be careful what you wish for, kids. It’s called “Fast Five” and picks up our street-racing [...]

Story At The Movies: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

John Story — Wed, 04 May 2011 16:50:25 +0000

I loved this movie! How’s that for a short review? Old-fashioned corny schmaltz like this doesn’t appeal to that many people these days, but I enjoyed this one ‘way out of all my expectations. It’s about a young man who runs away to (accidentally) join the circus in that wonderful year of 1931. His family suffers a [...]

John Story — Mon, 02 May 2011 16:16:50 +0000

Recently I had the pleasure of viewing an old antique horror film from 1963 in its new Blu-ray version, and was properly amazed by the picture quality of this new release. “The Terror” is only remembered today for its cast: Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson…Jack plays an officer in the French army of the early [...]

Story At The Movies: RIO

John Story — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:18:00 +0000

“Rio!” “Rio by the sea-o!” Yes, were talking the Rio in Brazil, the one that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced through in “Flying Down to Rio” ‘way back in the 1930s. The new “Rio” is about a bunch of daffy birds down South America way chasing around after…something that has escaped me. “Rio” is [...]
