movie review

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

It’s a pretty simple movie.  But it’s just not that good.  It tries to blend two genres: the romantic comedy and the super hero film.  It doesn’t really succeed...

Rendition

The USA PATRIOT Act, commonly known as the PATRIOT Act, is a controversial Act of Congress that U.S. President George W. Bush signed into law on October 26, 2001. The contrived acronym stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept...
