Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows, Part 2

Horrible Bosses Horrible Bosses

Brock & DeArmond

Tabloid Errol Morris

 

Mysteries, Uncertainties, Ambiguities

Darrel Manson

"I think it would be wrong to conclude that all tabloid journalism is bad," says Morris. "Tabloid journalism is a kind of journalism that focuses on stories that grab ahold of us. I like to think of the Bible as an extended tabloid story."

Don't Make Up Your Mind Already

Ed Travis

Providing Rutger Hauer in a leading role as the Hobo, this one takes the action level and drives it through the roof.
