Last night I convinced a good friend of mine to do a new DVD that I had to review with me.

I saw the original Men in Black movie so long ago that my memories of the film might as well have been zapped with a neuralyzer (that's the memory-erasing device the guys use in the movie, for those of you who are also having trouble recalling the original). What I did retain is that the film was funny, fresh, and silly and that it didn't hold up very well for the 2002 sequel. With that in mind, Read more
Recently, reader Blanca123 raised some interesting questions when responding to our recipe for President Obama's chili: "Kindly explain why you call this pitifully flavored 'meat one-pot' a chili . . .
