Band Name of the Day: HumbertThe Happy Housewife. In the 1997 film version of Lolita (which will be reviewed eventually), Humbert describes himself as both "The willing corrupter of an innocent and Humbert the Happy Housewife."

Film Reviews: The Handmaid's Tale- A woman from Canada is captured by the Christian fundamentalist Republic of Gilead (Read: The U.S. of A) and forced to become a handmaid (the State's breed Mare) for a commander named Fred, thus gaining the name "Offred". One particularly memorable scene is one wherein one handmaid in training confesses to having had an abortion because she was raped, with the rest of the handmaidens in training berating her and calling her a "Harlot" because she let somebody rape her. If we are not careful, as I have stated before, I feel that this may become a very accurate depiction of life in America in a few years.

Elmer Gantry - Back in the days of Prohibition, when Jack Chick wouldn't seem as much like an nutcase, there were hundreds of Evangelists spreading revival across the land. This is the story of an obnoxious college athelete who discovers the power that comes with becoming an Evangelist and thus becomes one, drinking and having sex on Saturday and speaking out against those very same things at his Sunday revivals. The film follows his rise and the rises and falls of those people around him who work with him.
