...public square." Wasn't Bush's father criticized during the 1992 campaign for being out of touch with mainstream America? Our current President's habit of being fed information mainly through his handlers keeps him not only out of touch with the mainstream but also willingly in the dark about issues and opinions other than those his close advisers believe he wants to (or should) hear. There is no excuse for Bush to close his mind to contrary ideas and complex issues. Bush's behavior demonstrates the lack of an essential leadership quality: critical thought.

Carried by two engaging leads and bold cinematography that soaks every shot in sweat, Blind Spot is better than most films playing in a theater near you. But you'll probably never get a chance to see it. With the Academy...
Twisted does not aspire to or achieve anything more than the typical suspense film, but it seems that’s what audiences are looking for most weekends. It provides the dark, sinister, provocative elements needed to keep thriller aficionados entertained, but does not attempt to do more. Even though this could be seen as the film’s downfall, it is refreshing and fun as a simple weekend movie...
