A Recommendation That's Like An Anvil To The Head
I recently saw Coyote vs. Acme in the theaters. For those who aren't aware, it follows Wile E. Coyote (super-genius) in his efforts to sue the Acme corporation for umpteen years of defective products. It's a "toons in the real world" premise that's executed remarkably well. I don't want to...

A Bundle To Help Out Ross Isaacs
