ECCObserver: Stranger than ‘Fiction:’ an odd but surprising collaboration
http://eccobserver.blogspot.com/2009/03/stranger-than-fiction-odd-but.html

http://eccobserver.blogspot.com/2009/03/refreshing-comedy-film-worthy-of-plenty.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Refreshing comedy film worthy of plenty of love, man. These days clever, original comedies are a rarity. How many Talladega Nights.

And Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I Love You, Man. I Love You, Man. Was (for th...

http://eccobserver.blogspot.com/2009/03/much-opportunity-to-be-found-in-crisis.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Much opportunity to be found in crisis.
