Review: The Adjustment Bureau
The Adjustment Bureau isn't a movie that is easily described or fits neatly into a genre. Loosely based on the Philip K. Dick short story "Adjustment Team" the film examines philosophy, spirituality, science fiction, politics, and romance all tightly bound within the confines of a thriller.

The Farrelly brothers being attached to a film just doesn't have any pull these days. They haven't had a number on...

The show also was supported with relatively strong DVR numbers but apparently it wasn't enough. I started watching Glory Daze as it be...
