Basically the choice for Motor Trend's editors was between the F150 and Ram since the Equator is basically a rebadged Nissan Frontier and well the H3T is....you fill in the blank.

This process being driven primarily by whatever we're most attracted to watch, and what we have time to watch, there is inevitably a huge number of worthy releases that fell through the cracks.

The conference agreed that the rich countries, like Australia, would reduce their industries and farms and transfer those industries to the third world countries. ThThe Ghosts of Affleck's Past
For fans of bad Christmas movies -- we're know you're out there -- and masochists in general, ABC has a treat: they've disinterred the worst example of the genre I've ever reviewed, the agressively unfunny "Surviving Christmas,'' showing tonight at 9 o'clock.

I have reviews of two Oscar contenders in today's Post. I award 3.5 stars to Clint Eastwood for his delightful, indie-style dramedy "Gran Torino,'' built around his career-capping performance as a grumpy, rifle-toting old racist who finds redemption in an unlikely manner. Three stars go to "Doubt,'' which is more memorable for its performances -- Meryl Streep as a witch-hunting nun, Philip Seymour Hoffman as a priest suspected of pedophilia and Viola Davis in one of the great single-scene actFor The Love of Vinyl: The Album Art of Hipgnosis
For the Love of Vinyl: The Album Art of Hipgnosis by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell is quite simply the most engaging and entertaining design book I have read all year.
