Eagle Eye (review)
It could be called *Why the PATRIOT Act and Total Information Awareness Is Bad… For Dummies.*
suspense/thriller
RocknRolla (review)
Guy Ritchie would surprise us if he surprised us. *RocknRolla,* his latest mockney crime caper, is exactly what you expect it to be. Hell, it’s exactly what you *want* it to be…
