Ace in the Hole - The Criterion Collection blu-ray, a washed up newspaper reporter ends up in New Mexico with a story that catches National attention, the amoral newsman will do anything to keep the headlines going. It's definitely a product of its time, while the film is a criticism of American culture and sensationalism but frankly Kirk Douglas's Charles Tatum is one hell of an unlikable character, he's a bully, has no morals, and treats women like garbage, in three separate scenes he slaps, grabs by the hair, and chokes the same woman. Hard to sell a movie with a lead that's despicable, but maybe that's the point. 6/10.

Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys. (Office Space)
