    Please say a prayer for earthsci

    Every match of the final weekend in the EPL will be televised in the US this Sunday on 9 Fox-owned stations plus ESPN2. As most of you know, all matches of the final week are played at the same time to better prevent shenanigans. The matches start at 10:00 AM EDT. There will also be...

    Elite Squad: The Enemy Within

    Awesome movie! Really gets to the heart of the corruption and violence that plagues Brazilian society. Expertly directed, with a tour-de-force performance by Wagner Moura.

    The Robber (Der Räuber)

    A real rollercoaster of an action film. It suffers a bit because I think the main character's motivations for his robberies could have been explored a bit more. His reasons are hinted at, but never fully explained. I suppose that is because the real life Kastenberger was himself an enigma...

    Revanche

    Such a good movie. One of the few films where the audience has NO idea in what direction the film is going to go. It takes off in directions that are completely unexpected, but not preposterous. Really outstanding.

    Point Blank (À bout portant)

    Great movie! Packs more action and suspense into 84 minutes than seems possible. A worthy edition to the long list of great French thrillers.

    St. Louis to play in London next 3 seasons

    Seems like a strange choice to represent the NFL in Europe considering the Rams' record the last 10 years. I guess the league thinks the Rams can sell out Wembley, they sure can't sell out their own stadium...

    The Steelers also hate Todd Graham

    Sun Dec 18 11:07am EST Deep Posts: The Steelers hate Todd Graham, too! By Doug Farrar If you thought former Pitt coach Todd Graham was a jackass for bailing for Arizona State in a way that would make Bobby Petrino wince, wait until you see what the Steelers thought of him. Should...

    Bring this guy in

    I don't know how good he is, but he went to Fresno State, so he should fit right in. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d821cf96f/article/veteran-sanders-shocked-by-impending-release-from-patriots?module=HP11_headline_stack

    Patrick Peterson

    I know it's early, but color me un-impressed so far. Both the Raiders and Packers have completed just about every pass thrown to his man. He just lays off and lets his man catch the ball in front of him. He hasn't come close to making a big play. I thought he was supposed to be the most...

    Alex Smith

    Smith isn't going to survive the preseason, much less the regular season. He's already taken two hard blindside hits vs the Saints.

    Lo

    I really liked this movie. Low budget, but very well done, it is presented really more as a play. It is a left-of-center romance that is by turns funny, goofy and sad. Unconventional to be sure, but well worth a look.

    The Man From Nowhere

    Another great edition in a long line of fantastic Korean crime thrillers. One critic said it best, "this film could only come from Korea, the land of a million stories of revenge." Great action/fight sequences and crisply directed. Won and Kim have a great chemistry together as well. This...

    The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest

    The third installment in Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy. The trilogy is really more like three distinct films that contain the same characters more than a continuous storyline spanning multiple movies. In this one, Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist battle a secret government agency...
