Check Out This A-Z List of the Best Movies Ever

Adam West — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:10:47 +0000

I have always been a movie buff, but let's face it -- there are far too many out there to keep straight. We're fortunate, then, that the fine folks at Cool Material have created an A-Z list of the best flicks ever. While this list is pretty consistent with my personal choices, I'd rather see it sorted by genre. Sometimes there are just too many great ones to choose from! What movies would you add or remove from the list?

Dave Fenix — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:11:13 +0000

As most Texans fans are this time of year, I find myself disappointed that the last few weeks of the season go so well for the team. Lets face it, they shut down and in a big way. But what happened?

With the rare exception you can rest assured the toys you buy for your kids today are safe, but that hasn’t always been the case. Safety standards were much lower a decade or two ago and almost nonexistent before then. Today recalls because of cadmium or toxic lead capture the headlines, but dangerous toys [...]

These days, news happens hard and news happens fast….no pun intended.

Hey Everyone: Please Stop Reading '50 Shades of Grey' [OPINION]

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:31:57 +0000

’50 Shades of Grey’ was the Rebecca Black of literature this year: for a few weeks it was all anyone could talk about, and then it disappeared into nothingness, without so much as a death rattle. ‘FSOG’ is a little like baby’s first BDSM: it’s a decent introduction to some of the concepts of bondage [...]

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico – The Real Story Behind the Name

Adam West — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:07:00 +0000

Let me start out by saying that I am much happier living and working here in Victoria, Texas, but I actually lived and worked in this tiny town for 12 years, and my brothers and sisters would constantly ask me about it's unusual name. I would always respond with the story, which is explained below. The town wasn't much, although there was some beautiful scenery, and I did actually get to meet People's Court Bailiff Rusty Burrell.
