Gulliver's Travels Review

As an adult, it's difficult to see the 3D, big-screen adaptation of __Gulliver's Travels__ as anything other than a denigration of the source material.

Austin Film Festival 2009 Wrap Up

Jesco White and Hank Williams IIIThe Wild and Wonderful Whites of West VirginiaYou can have Jon and Kate, the Osbournes or the Kardashians. I'll take the Whites of Boone County, West Virginia for pure reality entertainment. Produced by the "Jackass" MTV folks the documentary follows these modern day hillbillies with their bent for crime.
