Steven Soderberghâs âOceanâs Elevenâ (2001) is one of those rare remakes that turned out to be substantially better than the original (from 1960).

If you're a regular user of Twitter you're probably quite familiar with this image.  They've tried lots of variants, making it funny, or cute, with pictures of LOL Cats, doing cute things with screw drivers, but the pictures aren't funny for long, the more you see them, the more tiresome they get. Then I had an idea they could be used for a good cause.  Yeah that does it!

â10 Questions for the Dalai Lamaâ is a tedious title for an anything-but-tedious film that expertly merges the mystical and the mundane.

In this hasty and very lumpy volume John Allen Paulos proposes to expose the irrational basis of religious thinking, much the way he exposed rampant mathematical illiteracy in âInnumeracy.â

Ian McEwan has inexplicably produced a small, sullen, unsatisfying story that possesses none of those earlier booksâ emotional wisdom, narrative scope or lovely specificity of detail.

âThe Last Timeâ is a shapeless ode to corporate greed and business school aphorisms.

Rogue Assassin is forced, flabby and formulaic. This isn't a martial arts movie. They just don't make them anymore. Rogue Assasin is the new age urban-action/martial-arts hybrid.

With its ludicrous frisson of patriotism and a nod to "The Da Vinci Code," a more cynical grab for Hollywood gold is hard to imagine.

Calling this one a statement game doesn't do it justice.

âShoot âEm Upâ is a witless, soulless, heartless movie that mistakes noise for bravura and tastelessness for wit.

Tycho:  I watched this video myself on Friday, and then watched it again, and then watched it a third time when Khoo came in - providing commentary throughout, which I'm almost certain was unwelcome.  I urge you not to watch the embedded, nasty  version over at GameVideos, but to take advantage of their "Download" or "Watch Larger Version" options.  This way, you can obsess as I have - pausing on each screen of the character generator or battle interface, drinking deep of their  forbidden texts.  (CW)TB
