Review: 'Sunshine Cleaning'
It has become a genre all its own: the dysfunctional-family indie comedy, a staple of film festivals and art-house theaters alike. Done wrong, and these movies can seem too self-consciously quirky (and by now, "quirky" feels like a word that was created especially to describe this kind of film). Done right, and you've got a "Little Miss Sunshine" or a "Juno" on your hands. "Sunshine Cleaning" falls into the latter category - and its producers ...
Review: 'Adventureland'
It is a truth of 20-somethings that if you have a crappy summer job with other 20-somethings, the way to take your mind off work is daydreaming of sex with your workmates. You are trapped there together, eight or 10 hours a day for three months, right, so what else is there to make you dance to unheard melodies? Take James.

Bob Dickson: Time for the Boston Smoke Party
On April 1, the federal sales tax on a pack of cigarettes jumped from 39 cents to $1.01, and the only part of it that makes any sense is the date on which this tax went into effect.
Assault from within
Americans are under assault - not from without but from within. Our own president and his liberal legions are coming after you, your children and your grandchildren. Lies, corruption, class envy, confiscatory taxation and socialistic collectivist control over and rationing of individual liberties - all using artificial, concocted crises as the excuse - are being perpetrated on unsuspecting Americans. Retirement savings, home equity, college savings, jobs, national security and numerous once-prosperous industries are all under ...
