Health & Fitness > Medicine Development Children and medication: Generation "Med"?
5 of 72

"Generation Med" is a pretty harsh title to own up to. Is it really all that fair? Maybe society is being a little harsh. Besides, "Generation Med" is pretty general. Maybe "Generation Prozac" or "Generation Ritalin" or maybe even "Generation Viagra." Honestly, are we such a nation of hypochondriacs? Well, we certainly do see... More..

Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Robot Chicken
3 of 13

Robot Chicken reminds me of a tumor. By that I mean it has grown on me. The show is stop animation sketch comedy. With skits running anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.

Entertainment > Movie Remakes & Adaptations Evaluating the book to film adaptation of Fight Club
5 of 5

"Shocking," "horrific," "appaling" have been common words to describe the film and the book Fight Club. Harsh words. Maybe I'm being unfair. words like "brilliant" and "masterpiece" have also been used for both. The book is Chuck Palahniuk's first novel, an instant hit and he has since established himself as an important auth... More..
