I summarized the movie on Twitter as follows: It's like the "Bourne" movies only without the boring command center scenes. So basically you're left with the car chases and fights without a . . .

I found "The Informant!" an entertaining but ultimately frustrating movie. By the end I didn't know what to make of this Mark Whitacre guy. Was he insane? Was he a compulsive liar? . . .

I'm not sure there's any team more afraid of success than the Detroit Tigers of the last few years. In 2006 they needed only one win in the last week of the season to win the division. They . . .
