A Rogue's Guide to Reagonomics.

We saw "The Prince of Persia" yesterday.  It was a decent but sometimes slow sword and sorcery epic.  The best part, though, was Alfred Molina's desert scum businessman with a commitment to tax reform:

The film’s greatest gem however is Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar, a self-described unscrupulous small businessman. He waxes moderately and eloquently about a great evil that plagues the empire: taxes. His exasperation over government attempts to control his business, and later over the secret government-run, tax-funded assassin organization that is after Dastan, left the audience I watched with laughing and even clapping.


This harmless film is complete with a significant message regarding brotherly bonds and government involvement. Not a bad way to start the summer.

How that flew under the radar is something of a mystery.
