After watching Public Enemies this weekend, it's clear the film portray the dangerous criminal as a charming hero. Obviously his real life story offers a stark contrast to how the film made him out to be. Hollywood does this all the time it seems, making a hero out of otherwise shabby characters. I thought of …

The Flix List: Cure for the Common Flix
I don't know about you but when I'm at Blockbuster, I often agonize way too long trying to decide what movie to rent. I actually haven't rented anything for months so hopefully the next time I go there'll be so many flix to choose from it'll be a breeze. I know what you're thinking, what, …
