Give Comcast a chastity belt

By Chad Quandt · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 9:17 p.m.

Comcast purchased controlling stock in NBC Universal last week, and I cried in my bed about what it might mean for the future of television. As I ran through the streets howling about the oncoming doom, I was met with little sympathy. Screaming paranoia isn’t a new thing for me, but I’m shocked at the casual disregard we take toward powerful companies.

Reappoint Ben

By Matthew Gorman · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 9:12 p.m.

While some of his actions were extremely questionable, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke deserves credit. He was able to shepherd America and much of he world through a crisis that could have been disaster into only a severe recession. He was also able to do this with two different presidential administrations, which is a success that could not have been achieved easily.

R. Kelly

The undisputed king of epic sex

By Mickey Woods · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 7:12 p.m.

Call R. Kelly what you want, but he remains undisputed as the king of R&B opera and epic sex. Even at a ripe 42 years old, the man’s still got drive.

The Kite Runner

BoD: Books

By Sarah Hann · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 6:42 p.m.

Between “Twilight” and “Harry Potter,” it seems fantasy has ruled the last 10 years. But other genres also blossomed, and below are some that will stick in our mind for years to come.

A Serious Man

Seriously funny

By Doug Evans · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 3:27 p.m.

Do bad things happen to people at random or can they be traced back to some ancestral curse? According to the Coen brothers the source of such events is irrelevant when one is faced with an endless series of tribulations.

Old Dogs

‘Old Dogs,’ old tricks

By Megan Clayton · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 3:19 p.m.

Someone at the studio should have had the sense of mind to put this script out of its misery. Unfortunately, no one did, and now we’re left with this newest, lamest travesty, “Old Dogs.” 

Ninja Assassin

Ninja Assassin

By Brent Williamson · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 3:14 p.m.

Awesome. I try to refrain from this overused, watered down word as much as possible, but there really is no other way to describe “Ninja Assassin.”

Everybody's FIne

So far from fine

By Brian Welk · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 3:09 p.m.

“Everybody’s” Frank Goode is the kind of elderly man that casually brags about his kids’ successes as if you brought it up. 

Brothers

'Brothers' is a war of emotions

By Katelyn Colvin · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 3:02 p.m.

Brothers is yet another example of a film that is advertised as being something completely different than it actually is, and it treats its subject with far more delicacy than its thriller-like trailer would have us believe. Rather than focusing on a forbidden sexual tryst and the husband’s insane jealousy, the story is more about war, and how a ripple effect brings its horrors to everyone involved.

The Bravery

A stirring disappointment

By Adam Lukach · Monday, Dec. 7,2009 2:38 p.m.

The Bravery’s newest album, “Stir the Blood,” could be more accurately titled. “Curl the Blood” for the emotions it evokes in the listener.
