Pandects. This fact, if it be true, is decisive. Yet the

Pandects are quoted by Ivo of Chartres, (who died in 1117,) by

Theobald, archbishop of Canterbury, and by Vacarius, our first

professor, in the year 1140, (Selden ad Fletam, c. 7, tom. ii. p.

1080 - 1085.) Have our British Mss. of the Pandects been

collated?]

[Footnote 87: See the description of this original in Brenckman,

In today's world, it is so hard to distinguish oneself as a filmmaker with a unique story to tell that reinvents the wheel in a way that suits both the casual viewer and the film buff who is constantly looking to be surprised by what cinema can provide for them. That is one of the brilliant things about Nicolas Winding Refn's mind that makes him such a promising filmmaker who has an incredible vision about what movies are capable of. He's been compared to some of the greats including Stanley…

A “man-crush” is defined as: “The highest tier of a man’s love and admiration for another man in a non-sexual context.” Ryan Gosling, a long time darling of the independent film scene, has finally discovered long overdue mainstream success. Most notably in the recent art-house actioner, “Drive” as well as the star-studded political…

This review is not one filled with spoilers but I’d just warn that one can better understand the points I’m trying to make if they have seen the film. Obviously everything I say below is my own opinion and interpretations of the film and many will disagree. I’m writing this second review because in order to sustain my recent obsession with Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest film ‘Drive’, I have been reading a lot of interviews with the director so that I could both  better…

I am too old to be getting hungover. I know this form of dehydration is not unfamiliar to people twice or three times my age, but I feel like I've been burned enough already.



You may have noticed already that I live in Chico. It is my adopted home town. The notoriety that brought Chico to the top of Playboy's top college party towns is often overblown, sometimes not. If you find yourself on Normal St. or 2 St you will find the college circus. There you will find U bar (80's bar) and… Continue

This is our first joint review. Razz's part is first, Mike's is after the dashes. Let's get started, shall we?



Heroes came back with Tabula Rasa on Monday, pretty good especially the Sylar/Gabriel scenes. Rather than going through scene by scene I would rather go through it by characters since Heroes is a very character centric show.

Okay well, I don't quite know how to best rate this movie. It really held my interest, the moods were pretty intense, and there were so many different things going on at once. It was really heavy and I couldn't wait to see how it was all going to be connected at the end. And though now I've seen the end, I still have no idea how those parts are all connected. I'm genuinely confused... Was I entertained? Yes. Did I like the story? I have no idea. I don't see this as some art piece to be… Continue

And if that weren't enough, I have my not-too-popular-with-the-Coen-Brothers-fans review of the obnoxiously post-modern BURN AFTER READING.
