The Guantanamo Bay section from Splinter Cell: Blacklist. My first thought was "oh, we're infiltrating a former american Navy SEAL and current Fifth Freedom dispenser, Sam Fisher, disguised as an unprosecuted prisoner in a camp known for its enhanced interrogation techniques and...

"You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn't kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the...

I wish I could bring myself to ever deliberately see another Roman Polanski film without reminding myself that he is a rapist and a fugitive.

Ryan Gosling's The Driver from the film Drive. The ambiguity of his actions and a talent for violence despite the best of intentions, married by a subtle and phenomenal performance, makes him one of the finest examples of a tragic 50s noir character that I have seen recently. I also...
