Rule of thumb

Call me cynical, which I am, but anytime USA Today does a four-star backflip for anything, I'm instantly suspicious.

When I was in 6th grade, I used to pore over the Friday Life section with about fifty times the attention I devoted to math dittos. Now I can barely get past the front page without wanting to toss it at the nearest wall.

I haven't even seen Slumdog Millionare yet but Boyle's Millions left me cold, and overall he's too in love with camera and editing gimmicks for my taste. I dug Sunshine, though, in spite of the slasher-movie 3rd-act foolishness.
