...search line, you type in the documentary Joe Louis: For All Time, you'll be directed to the French omnibus film Paris, Je T'Aime. (T'aime is close to time, but the two movies have absolutely nothing in common.) Try The Monster and the Ape, a 1947 serial, and up pops the 2009 animated film Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure. Recognizing that its Cinematch system isn't cutting it, Netflix established a $1 million prize for better algorithms, which has already been claimed by a coalition of programmers named BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos. I hope the new system...
...tricks and tales of their trade, but not Jeff Johnson. In his newly released memoir, Tattoo Machine, the Portland-based inkman shares some of the weirdest, wackiest and most disgusting details of his profession, from cleaning up after chudders (look it up) to the time he tattooed a serial killer (he thinks).

A quote from Iraq expert Chris Hedges that opens the film reads, "War is a drug." Movies often editorialize on this theme: the man who's a misfit back home but an efficient, imaginative killing machine on the battlefield. Bigelow and Boal aren't after...
...after the hoopla and spiraling speculation over Brown's future, was anticlimactic. The Prime Minister prevailed over the few rebels who dared advance a case for his ouster. It was a whimpering end to an uprising that had seen attacks on Brown's leadership from across the party, and serial resignations from his Cabinet. Just four days before, James Purnell, one of the party's brightest young stars, had delivered a Dear Gordon letter on the eve of a reshuffle that would have reaffirmed his own place at the Cabinet table.
