Review Roundup: 'Medal of Honor' Not So Controversial After All
By Dave Thier - AOL News(Oct. 12) -- After much controversy over a "Taliban" multi-player mode, vociferous critics, a ban in military stores and a last-minute compromise, Electronic Arts' new shooter for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3, "Medal of Honor," was released today. The early reviews are in, and it's a mixed bag. Critics are divided on the quality of the game-play, but most agree that all the bickering over name changes was much ado about nothing. Unlike the occasionally uncomfortable "Call of Duty" series, this game wasn't trying to deliver a message more complicated than "America is awesome" (or, in the ...
The Dugout: Middle of the Tenth
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsLast night saw the television debut of "The Tenth Inning," un film de Ken Burns that bridges the gap between 1994's "Baseball" and 2010's baseball. There are few things in this life I love more than the original film, and have always said that if my house was burning down, the first thing I'd save would be Ken Burns Baseball, and the second thing would be my cat and/or loved ones. "The Tenth Inning" is off to a great start. It's the best you can do without John Chancellor, Buck O'Neil or Shelby Foote, covering two decades of sadness, drug abuse, corporate greed and New York Yankees World ...
Ken Burns' 'Tenth Inning' Worthy Successor to 'Baseball'
By Milton Kent - AOL NewsThere are those who earnestly believe that "The Godfather Part III" is a fine film whose only significant flaws are exposed when it is compared to the two films that preceded it, which are among the finest American movies made. So it is with Ken Burns' addendums to his landmark "Baseball" documentary series. "The Tenth Inning," which premieres Tuesday and Wednesday on PBS stations around the country, is an exceptional piece of historical film-making that documents the last 20 years in baseball superbly. Alas, the two-part "Tenth Inning" doesn't quite resonate with viewers the way the ...
The Dugout: Bill Lee is Trollin' IRL
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsIn a shocking turn of events that surprises no one, former Boston Red Sox pitcher and professional mental astronaut Bill Lee has spoken out on the death of George Steinbrenner, saying he's glad Steinbrenner died because he was a "thorn in his side." He goes on to explain that Hell has frozen over and that Steinbrenner is currently "skating." In a related story, Bill Lee thinks that the Godfather triology is "boring and overrated" and just "can't understand" why people would find Scarlett Johansson attractive. He then phoned TMZ.com to let them know he was going to be at a local restaurant, ...
National Archives Digs Deep for New Civil War Exhibit
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (April 27) -- There are no tattered wool uniforms or rusty rifle muskets in "Discovering the Civil War," a new exhibit opening Friday at the National Archives. But the paper relics that make up most of the display are in some ways much easier to grasp. Take the 1862 letter from seamstresses at the U.S. Arsenal in Philadelphia to the secretary of war. In it, they complain about losing work to a contractor who paid them half what the government did and note that many were sole wage earners because their husbands were away in the Army. ...
'National Parks': Ken Burns' Worst Idea
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyI thought I would love the new Ken Burns PBS series, "The National Parks: America's Best Idea."Twelve hours on my DVR is a big chunk of real estate, so yesterday I decided to begin watching the series that premiered two weeks ago. I'd recently returned from a trip to the Grand Canyon, and I was eager to hear the back-story of this – and other – national parks. I'm a Ken Burns fan. "Frank Lloyd Wright" prompted me to read a biography and half a dozen books on his work. "Mark Twain" introduced me to Twain's dark side, but still gave the most celebrated writer in American history his ...

Fred Thompson, Orator
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIf anything, it is amazing that Fred Thompson was able to raise as much money as he did in Q3. The more you hear the man on the campaign trail, the more you wonder how he got this far. He's just not good at thinking on his feet. He seems to stumble into a sentence without a clue as to how to finish it. His metaphors are all over the place. Worst of all, he continually spews incorrect information. Case in point, yesterday's appearance in Newton, Iowa: ...
