The Rum Diary
The Stars: Johnny Depp, Giovanni Ribisi, Aaron Eckhart
The Plot: American journalist Paul Kemp (Depp) takes on a freelance job in Puerto Rico for a local newspaper during the 1950s and struggles to find a balance between island culture and the ex-patriots who live there.
The Buzz: Where to begin? Have you seen the trailer? There’s a lot to digest in there.
In all honesty, I’d be a lot more excited than I am, (presently my excito-meter is at about a 6/10) if I’d never caught wind of the many negative rumblings about this film (I have a close...

Ah, 2010. Seems like a million years ago, when in fact we're only two weeks into the new year. Like all good bloggers, I have a professional obligation to look back at the year that was and summarize the highs and lows of my particular area of expertise--that is, naming. So, for your enjoyment, my colleagues at Catchword and I put together a rundown of names that made the headlines in 2010.
Bad Ideas, Bad Names (adding insult to injury)
Vuvuzela: The world's population learns this word simply so they can talk about how much they hate it. Surprisingly, no one confuses it with a Venezuelan pudendum.
The Double-Down: KFC introduces its heart-attack-in-a-sandwich. Might as well call it Double Infarction. Or better yet, ClusterCluck.
Eyjafjallajökull: A name that would live on in infamy ... if only we could pronounce it. (We suggest calling it "Jeff.")
Top Kill: Yet another Bp tactic that couldn't cap America's worst oil spill.

This is a Recap of AMC’s The Walking Dead, Season 1, Episode 5, entitled “Wildfire”, originally airing November 28, 2010. It contains many spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the episode yet, fold this recap and store it up under your bucket hat. We open on Rick, who knows there’s something he’s been meaning to do, but hasn’t quite gotten around to it yet. Dry cleaning? It’s probably dry cleaning. Ehh, actually, the zombie apocalypse is happening, so maybe it has something to do with that? Nah, the zombies are in Atlanta, and it’s not like anyone’s headed to AtlantOHHHH My God forgot that dude from the first episode! Ah geez. Hopefully he’s still busy not shooting his wife and hasn’t strolled into downtown Atlanta and gotten superkilled. On the plus side, he’s nicely set up to save Rick’s life next episode...

DVD Playhouse—November 2010

Paths Of Glory (Criterion) Stanley Kubrick’s 1957 antiwar classic put him on the map as a major filmmaker. Kirk Douglas stars in a true story about a French officer in Ww I who locks horns with the military’s top brass after his men are court-martialed for failing to carry out an obvious suicide mission. A perfect film, across the board, with fine support from George Macready as one of the most despicable martinet’s ever captured on film, Ralph Meeker, and Adolphe Menjou, all oily charm as a conniving General. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Audio commentary by critic Gary Giddins; Excerpt from 1966 audio interview with Kubrick; 1979 interview with Douglas; New interviews with Jan Harlan, Christiane Kubrick, and producer James B. Harris; French television documentary on real-life case which inspired the film; Trailer. Widescreen. Dolby 1.0 mono.
