If you like bad b-movies featuring clunky cgi dinosaurs it has been a good summer so far. First there was gratuitous silliness of Aztec Rex;
Close on it's tail, though, is 100 Million B.C. (not to be confused with the recent big-screen cheese fest 10,000 B.C. or the classic One Million Years B.C.). The film looks like someone dropped a couple of seasons of Stargate, a copy of The Lost World, a few issues of The War That Time Forgot, and Michael Gross in a blender and hit "Gooify";

Journey to 10,000 BC is a new made-for-TV documentary about Clovis-era North American archaeology and palaeontology (not to be confused with Roland Emmerich's baroque fantasy feature 10,000 BC). The format of the film is conventional: a voiceover intercut with clips from interviews with scholars.…
One of the more pathetic examples of bad math from the creationist camp is an argument based on the

Via emails, comments, and so on, quite a few people offered their own explanations for why mortality might be higher in Mexico (as of yesterday), the subject of my Slate piece.
First, though, a correction: I punched my numbers a bit too quickly in computing the flue's hypothetical kill ratios in…
Come on - Michael Gross and Christopher Atkins! Is this where has-beens (or maybe never-weres) go to live out their final days?
Too bad I'm at work (and using firefox) and can't see anything but the words. I like cheesy movies.
Awwww, Michael Gross can take care of himself against any ol' kind of monster. See Tremors
"100 Million BC" reminds me of what a "Dinosaurs Attack" movie might be like (remember those trading cards and comics from the 80s?). The cheese factor is definitely there, with CGI dinosaurs to boot. And Micheal Gross? I'm checking this movie out.
I'll pass on Aztec Rex though.
