The Garage (Free subscription) | yesterday
When I had mentioned to a friend I had the new Chevy Camaro RS to review for The Garage, he immediately pointed me to a site dedicated to the Camaro that appeared in the movie “Better Off Dead.” Released in 1985, “Better Off Dead” is a dark comedy starring John Cusack.

I watched Home Alone for the first time in my life this week. I'd always assumed that it would be exactly the kind of film I would hate. Though there were plenty of horrifically predictable repetition - and I mean repetition, rather than a rather funnier callback - there were moments of hilarity that ever I couldn't fail to appreciate. Continuing the children's films theme, we also watched Hook. Films...

The boffo box-office-busting opening of the end-of-the-world spectacular 2012 (trailer shown here) suggests two things: first, discerning viewers love John Cusack, and second, in this time of grinding hardship and overall slide into decadence, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good cinematic exercise in apocalyptic visions. With this in mind, the Britannica Blog’s own Gregory McNamee...

John Cusack deserves his reputation as a likable actor. Back in 1985, you wanted him to get the girl more than most teen actors. But 2012 is so dumb you only want to cheer, Die Cusack, Die! Ditto Amanda Peet. And their children. You don't want this family to reunite, to make good on broken promises, or to carry the American flame forward into the reset future. You don't want them to do any of that....

They were "rewarded" for their altruism with sharp counter-measures. Life is not fair. University Funds Rat-Proof Trash Bins Harvard denies fault over rodents,...

There are films that expect you to check your reality at the door and then there are films that actually do so and still manage to insult your intelligence with their total disregard for plausibility. 2012 is a film that falls into the latter category. For example, when star John Cusack is fleeing with his family in a small plane flown by ex-wife Amanda Peet's boyfriend, what we see on-screen becomes...
