Police say a bank-robbery suspect in Ohio might have eaten evidence when he gobbled a piece of paper while handcuffed and lying across the hood of a police cruiser.

After the rancor and bitterness of the past few months, the Germantown Hills Village Board held a kinder, gentler meeting Thursday and may even issue a liquor license to a business it once viewed with suspicion and distrust.

DCist's highly subjective and hardly comprehensive guide to the most interesting movies playing around town in the coming week. Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno Lost in La Mancha proved that documentaries about aborted films could be compelling films in their own right. Failure is magnified when there are millions of dollars — and million-dollar egos — on the line, so it's no wonder that...

Jill Stannard, who has for some time been acting chief executive of Cumbria County Council was today confirmed in the post. I congratulate her and wish her well in the post. It may seem strange to some people that a blog written by someone who does not live in the county, and which is mostly concerned [...]

Watching old westerns is not something I would ever do when I am well, but when sick, I am looking for cinematic comfort food.

In the post just below this one, I write quite skeptically about a planned upcoming movie that commercial director Carl Erik Rinsch is said to be “circling.” I admit aside from my other strong misgivings about the project, I was initially unimpressed that yet another big movie was being helmed by a commercial director. Yes, [...]

Dave at Fangraphs passed along a link to this year's crop of minor league free agents. A popular thing to do with this information is pick out a handful of guys that would make interesting and potentially worthwhile pick-ups. This is not that. This is a full team made up of guys who, years ago, were supposed to go on to do some big big things, only to end up on the fall 2009 list of mlFA's. Consider...

Baseball America has listed their top 10 Cubs prospects ....drumroll please... Starlin Castro Brett Jackson Josh Vitters Andrew Cashner Jay Jackson Hak-Ju Lee Logan Watkins Chris Carpenter Ryan Flaherty D.J. LeMehieu I was expecting Kyler Burke to make the list, but apparently repeating A ball justifiably knocked him down. You can compare and contrast with Arizona Phil's Top 15 list from last week....

An excellent series at Big Hollywood by Leo Grin. And do not miss this forgotten classic by John Ford (and the story behind this film). Of course, one of my all time favorite John Ford movies: But, then there is Stagecoach which is a close second: And of course, who can forget The Searchers.

I’ll cut straight to the chase … Oprah Winfrey will be narrating the US Version of ‘Life’ when it airs on the Discovery Channel in March 2010. David Attenborough will be narrating the superior UK version. He did an amazing job with Planet Earth. I highly recommend that Blu-ray by the way! Amazing stuff and [...]
