The Geek Easy levels up
If you don't know by now that geeks are doing the bullying these days, I'd urge you to mention the words "Game of Thrones" or "Doctor Who" around the office water cooler. "The Avengers" director Joss Whedon is one of the most powerful men in Hollywood,...

'G.I. Joe's' mission: Frantic action ★★
Right in the middle of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," which is one sort of action movie, there's another, better one that lasts five or six very good minutes. We're in the Himalayas, where the fancy ninjas such as Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) and Snake Eyes...

An unruly guest treated with love, not anger

Topsy-turvy romance 'Upside Down' turns out to be a bit flat ★★
All you need is love, according to "Upside Down," to save your planet from the dystopian doldrums. Nice sentiment: Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," among others, got there first. This new movie — like its heroine, a little foggy in the noggin — is...

12/22
Elementary school attacks occurred in China and the U.S. In China, the weapon was a knife, zero dead. In the U.S., the weapon was an assault rifle, 28 dead. The war on Christianity is being lost because Christians are trying to be nicer than Jesus...

Small Business Saturday
