Thanks to The Dark Knight, you might actually care about the Oscars next year. Though summer blockbusters don't usually show up in the big races at the Academy Awards, the film's glowing reviews make it a possible contender in the Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay categories, and it will surely be considered a front-runner for technical prizes. But its greatest Oscar hope has to be Heath Ledger, who'll likely become the seventh-ever posthumous acting nominee for his mesmerizin

Ben Hur - Chariot Race scene Ben Hur was a classic film that talks about the rise, fall and restoration of a righteous Jew who was wrongfully imprisoned for a petty crime he did not commit. Sentenced to die, scheduled to be thrown in a far off island, and his family thrown to the dungeons, Ben Hur (the name of the main character) succeeded in escaping imprisonment by getting out of a sinking ship and saving the life of an influential Roman General. After finding wealth, success and

Yesterday?s triumph was a far more Bronchial thickening affair thanks to his final nine holes, which he covered in only shots the most memorable of which was an approach to the par five st hole which finished only three feet from the cup.

In last year's inaugural list of the 10 celebrities you'd most like to bang, we attempted -- poorly, we might add -- to frame the list as something it wasn't necessarily: A list of intellectually attractive gentlemen and ladyfolk for a smarter, more refined crowd like ourselves. But over the course of the last year, we've learned something about our audience, by and large: You may have better tastes in your sexiest list than the average Us Weekly reader, but if the typed erotic scr

I have a half-written post about hope and Ryan Miller, but I dunno, I'm not feeling it tonight. I am feeling like writing something though so I'm going to veer way off-topic. Back when I had a personal blog a lot of people were doing something called "100 Things." The point is simple: List 100 things about you, any 100 things you want. I probably won't make it to 100 tonight. I might never depending on whether or not I enjoy this enough to come back to it. We'll see. 1. My middle na

Iceberg dead ahead! Duh. The Titanic will always hit the iceberg when they share the same glass. You won?t need Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kate Winslet to relive the adventure when you tie one on. You get 4 ocean liners and 4 icebergs. Just add gin and you?ve got the lowest priced blockbuster ever filmed. The best part? No Celine Dion, just a crackling, sinking and rapidly melting ship.

Craig?s Wife (1936). I?ve been wanting to see this Dorothy Arzner directed melodrama for years now, and was delighted when it turned up recently on the TCM schedule as part of their Rosalind Russell film fest. Mostly I was interested in seeing how it compared to the 1950 remake with Joan Crawford in the same role as the possessive Harriet Craig, a wealthy woman who alienates her family and servants with her smothering perfectionism. Both are hugely entertaining, biting commentaries;

As I've probably written before, dh & I love to go to the movies, especially to a Sunday afternoon matinee. One of the big jokes of our marriage is that I'm forever dragging him to movies -- little arthouse gems, foreign films with subtitles, or -- of course -- "chick flicks" -- which he grumbles about going to, but inevitably winds up loving. The only movie to date that I dragged him to see that he absolutely, positively hated was "Sense & Sensibility," based on the Jane Aus

Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture (1997) Binding: Audio CD Manufacturer: Sony Amazon.com: The 1997 Academy Award winner for Best Dramatic Score, James Horner's Titanic was the first soundtrack to reach the No. 1 slot on the Billboard charts in two decades; it also seemed to rival the Big Mac in sales for the year. And what can we say about Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On"; would "ubiquitous" suffice? Horner's combination of synths, chorale, and orchestra perfectly un

Taft's auto leaving New York Public Library. This photography comes from the Library of Congress photo archive on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/ Morning Thoughts This morning, I read a little bit more of Acacia on the train as well as some of the book, The Public Domain. It was a quiet, peaceful morning. The only difference this morning is that I had half and half instead of milk in my coffee. I also requested a robot detective novel, The Automati
