Reviews Too Late: The Good Shepherd

January 21, 2010

The Good Shepherd (2006) was a pet project for Robert de Niro. He’d been trying to make his fictionalized history of the CIA for ten years, but one director after another was, er, “suddenly unavailable.” (You might think there might be a story there.

The Praise is Endless as the Sea

January 12, 2010

This Is Not a Game has grown up, into a mass-market paperback! (Yeah, okay, that doesn’t make sense, but bear with me.)
