...they lived within 5 miles of this man. They never even checked in on him. And that's the stuff that's really staggering - the people who stand at the front of the house, arguing about who gets what and hustling the cleaners about cleaning the mess up as quick as possible. All they care about are smells and stains because they want to sell the property as quickly as possible...
...bench-clearing brawl between the Red Sox and Yankees for proof—the story of this episode of unthinkable athletic proportions swept throughout the country in a matter of days with outrage as opposed to pleasure.

But if a movie's high points are a quick smack of carnage and a steely speech that everyone's already seen in the trailer, you know it must be January. That's the time of year when no film is bad enough to go direct to DVD, and studios dump their slag on a public eager to flee from all those high-minded...
