PreReviewing the War
More from Jay Bookman, 29 September 2002
This war, should it come, is intended to mark the official emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as planetary policeman. It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the "American imperialists" that our enemies always claimed we were.
PreReviews Go Legit

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) A director known for Janet Jackson videos and a producer known for Armageddon and Pearl Harbor remake one of the most unique and truly nightmarish films of all time. Outside of Gus Van Sant's Psycho, this may be the worst idea I've ever heard. And yet, I'm morbidly fascinated to see the result. I'm a total idiot.
