"Last week, Roger Ebert finally got around to destroying reviewing Ben Stein’s anti-evolution film, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Ebert’s rant is as cerebral as it is merciless, and it’s worth a read even if you haven’t seen the film. He makes some good points about how the film completely misunderstands the concepts of probability and selection, forming flashy but ultimately useless argument. Ebert’s rage is thinly veiled. He’s obviously upset that clear logical fallacies can go unnoticed by so many people. Sure, misreading Darwin while attempting to refute him is a lame move when engaging in scientific debate, but the practice is quite common when it comes to filmmaking. When movies deal with evolution, there’s an unspoken understanding that they can completely distort the theory beyond recognition. It’s kind of like calling someone a pedophile during a F "

"Director: Shawn KuUS, 22 minutes, colorCinema 4 Rating: 5Despite a title sure to be at least partially tempting to any horror nut, Pretty Dead Girl: A Musical Necromance turns out to be rather tame. And if you could get the subject of necrophilia past the initial tsk-tsking of your grandma, there is a good chance that she would end up at film’s end thinking the movie was rather sad and sweet, and would hardly take offense at all to what is being suggested by its potentially creepy premise.I first saw Pretty Dead Girl on some cable network sometime about a year ago. I am not sure if it was Sundance or IFC, but honestly, I mix those channels up so much that I am never able to check out any of their shows regularly. Of course, most of the shows I have seen on there are of the variety about which I don’t give a rat’s ass, except for the ones done by Henry Rollins and Jon Favreau, but honestly, even thinking really hard, I can’t remember which one of the channels ...

"One of the great giant monster movies of the 50's that nobody ever mentions any more was Tarantula . In the Arizona desert, a scientist (Leo G. Carroll) is working on a special growth formula that he hopes will help to feed the Earth's ever expanding population. When one of the scientist's assistants injects himself with the formula he goes mad and attacks the scientist. In the ensuing struggle one of the test subjects, a three foot long tarantula, escapes it's cage and wanders out into the desert. There is one catch, the version of the serum that the spider has been injected with causes it to keep growing exponentially. Soon it is the size of a car and attacking cattle and people. By the time the local Sherrif and the town doctor (played by the always priceless John Agar) figure out what is going on the spider is bigger than a house and still growing. By now it is not hard to find but it is also virtually unstoppable... machine gun fire and dynamite seem to have n ... "
