Though I will confess I swiped the idea of picking the best movies of the last decade from somewhere in my morning Web reading, I promise you these choices are all my own (and since, I believe, only one of them from the first year received a Best Picture nomination, they're clearly not anything approaching consensus picks.) The rules? Well, there aren't many. Simply that I limited it to 10 for each...

History is jam packed with moments…..moments great and small. For someone like me they are all equally intriguing….all equally important though some actually get a little more play in the classroom than others. If I had to ask you about your top ten list for events in American History more than likely we would all have varying lists with a little overlap. I’m sure that most of you...

Seriously. Not joking. I love PIXAR with an obsession that could only be put on film by Glenn Close or Demi Moore on an 80s or 90s "female be crazy" plot. Without harming rabbits or Michael Douglas, of course. Here is an extra short film from Up (recently released on DVD). I love that even in its simplicity (and without the CGI feel) the short feels purely PIXARIAN:

Who's excited about this movie -'Beyond A Reasonable Doubt'? We are, we are! 'Cos we are intelligent creatures and we love to guess the ending of a movie. Shazay, on the other hand, is a fan of Jesse Metcalfe (yeah yeah that hottie in Desperate Housewives). He said "It's all about the plot, Resident Official Official"... but R.O.O doubts it seriously. I think it is the no shirt scene. Back...

So I was getting a haircut after lunch today (York Barbershop, 71st and Lex), and Oliver Stone & co. walked in to inspect the place.

It's probably easy to make a complete hash out of something like "Loft" — five men share a loft purely for the purpose of enjoying their mistresses until one evening the bloodied, nude body of a young woman is left on the bed, her wrist handcuffed to a bedpost. One by one the chums turn up with their keys grinning with expectation for the night and . . . holy cow! What's that?! You...
