Willis returns to familiar action role in ‘Surrogates’

Much like the robotic clones that encompass the society around which it’s built, viewers will have to temporarily “unplug” their brains in order to appreciate a movie like “Surrogates.” From a broad distance, it looks like just another far-fetched installment of a futuristic dream where technology is humanity’s best friend turned enemy; and to be honest, that is pretty much all it is, but Bruce Willis is one of very few action movie stars who can bring a lot of potential to a role by simply playing it, and this film proves that to be so.

Satire column: Girlfriend application

God hates single people. Don’t deny it. He’s constantly taunting us. You go to the mall and see all those couples holding hands, baby talking and Build-A-Bearing, so you push them off the escalator and send them to hell or silently pray the condom breaks.
