HBO2 aired the B-movie classic Kiss of Death late last night, so it could be seen in all it's foul-mouthed glory. The first (and nearly only) David Caruso vehicle is a guilty pleasure of mine, since it's hard to miss an opportunity for an over-the-top performance by a man with such red hair (how great was he in Proof of Life?). Caruso had one heck of a supporting cast in this flick, including Oscar nominees/winners Helen Hunt, Samuel L. Jackson, and a buffed-up Nicolas Cage, as well as Stanley Tucci, Ving Rhames, Michael Rapaport, Philip Baker Hall, and Kathryn Erbe (for any other LO:CI fans). If someone can't appreciate the bizarre spectacle of Nic Cage bench-pressing strippers, not even a little, then I think they need to open their minds & develop some respect for the joy of all things schlock.

In other news, have the Bushies developed an unwanted enemy in the escalating culture war? If the self-proclaimed king of all media can help out, I'm all for it.
