Letters to the Editor
D.W. Tiffee
I see that U.S. Rep. Tom Cole continues to praise the deranged Ryan Medicare scam as “thoughtful.”
At the crib
When the insults are true, are they insults anymore?
CFN
Gazette staff
When Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., sees something he doesn’t like, he doesn’t mess around.
Sweet Kill
Sick, sleazy, sublime.
Thriller
Rod Lott
Tab Hunter can't make it with chicks because ... well, insert your own joke about his private life here, but in 1973's Sweet Kill, aka The Arousers, it's because he has mommy issues that rank right up there with Norman Bates and Oedipus.
The Definitive Document of the Dead
It’s all messed up.
Documentary
Rod Lott
Significantly updated from his 1985 documentary, The Definitive Document of the Dead promises to be the last word director Roy Frumkes has to say on his subject of zombie godfather George A. Romero. If not, perhaps it should be.

The Apparition
I ain’t ’fraid of no ghosts.
Horror
Rod Lott
Call me crazy, but 3,400 square feet seems like an awfully massive home for a strip-mall veterinarian's assistant and a Geek Squad-esque installer of home-theater systems. Then again, the place does have its drawbacks: doors open on their own, furniture moves mysteriously, mold appears, and then things start to die within its well-mortgaged walls — a Costco cactus here, the neighbors’ dog there.
Lawless
The family that bootlegs together, stays together.
The Dark Knight Rises
Christopher Nolan directs a fitting send-off to his Batman trilogy.
Action
Phil Bacharach
Due to the twisted savagery of a young man in a Colorado movie theater, The Dark Knight Rises will forever be a footnote in American history. Hopefully, that horrific massacre will not influence perceptions of this epic conclusion to writer-director Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.
