Gunless on DVD There's nothing 'common' about this western, no high noon showdowns, no fighting in the local tavern, no cattle drives, no railroad, but Gunless is a lot of fun! Paul Gross ('Passchendaele' and tv series 'Due South') plays an American gunslinger, set in his ways, who rides into a small town in Canada with a rope around his neck and dragging a broken tree branch at the other end, obviously he survived a hanging, but hot on his trail are a group of bounty hunters.

Build forward from that number for most...Read Full Story

Paul Gross, co-author of Creationism's Trojan Horse , has just reviewed David Berlinski's The Devil's Delusion . The review is up now at TalkReason and will be published in the next issue of Free Inquiry (get a subscription!). But let us look for substance. The book's dedication is mysterious and strangely moving. It is to the memory of the author's grandfather, and it consists of waypoints -- all in German -- on that man's path through the Nazi death camps toward his end in Auschwitz. One...Read Full Story
