...movie features 50 “Curtis Jackson” Cent doing his best impression of a real drug dealer. My favorite part was watching Fitty’s head get blown off and seeing his body crash through a glass window to the floor below. Sorry for the spoiler, but I’m assuming you won’t get around to renting this one. “Righteous Kill” is a tragic unity of two great actors that accomplishes nothing for either their careers or the detective genre. The saddest part is that...
...That was a lot of money at the time, especially to the not yet ultra-rich Joann Rowling, but it turned out to be the bargain of the century - that one, and probably this one too. Over the next decade or so Scholastic went on to print (spoiler alert!) over 140 million Harry Potter books. (Read about Harry Potter's last adventure here...
...Napa Valley, where he seeks wines that might fare well in a blind tasting he plans to stage in France.

Mulder: "It's why we can't be together...
...while there's no Cigarette Smoking Man, and the Lone Gunman dweebs weren't invited to the reunion, Mulder and Scully must be heartened by the brief return of [spoiler alert!] their old boss Skinner (Mitch Pileggi). Just as important is the film's location in the Great White North. The first five seasons of The X Files were shot in British Columbia, which was a good fit for a show that wanted to leave its fans with a chill. In its pensiveness and good manners, its immersion in desolate wastes, its search for eccentricity, even dementia, behind the blandest...
