Also designed to fight terrorism is the USA’s PATRIOT Act which hasn’t much to do with being patriotic and unlike most of the legislators that passed this sweeping law without really reading it, Eagle Eye has that document committed to its massive and unfailing memory.

Tell No One

September 27th, 2008

Tell No One is the cryptic sign off attached to an email to Alex Beck (François Cluzet) a French paediatrician who would even give a thug the benefit of the doubt if his child was in need (this pays off big time later).

GhostTown

September 20th, 2008
GhostTown is a rib tickling take on the old “I see dead people” cliché.

Under perpetual heavy storm clouds nothing much grows or prospers save for an over abundance of humps on the backs of a litany of unlucky individuals.

I Served the King of England

September 20th, 2008
