There are some songs that when we hear them, we immediately think of a movie. I originally set out to do a top ten list, but the more I thought about songs like these, the more I realized ten just wasn't going to cut it. Once I started thinking, I couldn't stop coming up with new ones. Friends and family kept putting more and more suggestions into my head. Soon, I was like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The mountain of mud just kept growing and growing. As a result, I had to make some tough choices. I'm sure many dumb…

What is a Bond film without its music? Often it's easier to remember a truly good Bond theme than the plot of the film itself.

"Adapt or die, Sam," says the Devil (Ray Wise) at one point during the very funny "Dirty Sexy Mongol" last night, and the same could be said for the Reaper series, as it still struggles to…

Will they or won't they? Count me in as one who's getting sick of the question already.

While I still mostly enjoy my weekly hour of Chuck (and Yvonne Strahovski looking all kinds of hotness in undergarments toting a gun) the Sarah/Chuck relationship BS in the last three episodes has officially gotten on my nerves. …

Aside from overplaying all the Wizard of Oz references, this is the Life on Mars I signed on for. There are still things to pick apart here (ease off WoO), but with this episode the series picked up a recognizable balance between Tyler's predicament, the case at hand, and the generational differences.
