Espionage Case Breaches the White House

Both the FBI and CIA are calling it the first case of espionage in the White House in modern history.

Officials tell ABC News the alleged spy worked undetected at the White House for almost three years. Leandro Aragoncillo, 46, was a U.S. Marine most recently assigned to the staff of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Federal investigators say Aragoncillo, a naturalized citizen from the Philippines, used his top secret clearance to steal classified intelligence documents from White House computers.

In 2000, Aragoncillo worked on the staff of then-Vice President Al Gore. When interviewed by Philippine television, he remarked how valued Philippine employees were at the White House. - ABC News

Two For the Money

Two For the Money is a drama of high stakes set in the adrenalized world of wheeler-dealers whose fortunes are won and lost betting on sports. Matthew McConaughey stars as Brandon Lane, a former college football star whose uncanny ability to predict the outcome of a game introduces him to an unexpected new career when his gridiron glory is sidelined by a crushing injury.

a.k.a. Devil’s Advocate II. Looks good…looks like a mix between “Any Given Sunday”, “Jerry Maguire” and “Heat”. Any movie w/ Al Pacino is good. Gotta see this! Opens Friday.

Waiting…

A hilarious comedy about frustrated waiters, stingy tippers and dicey food, Lions Gate Films’ WAITING… stars Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris and Justin Long as young employees battling boredom at Shenanigan’s, a generic chain restaurant. A waiter for four years since high school, Dean (Justin Long) has never questioned his job at Shenanigan’s. But when he learns that Chett, a high school classmate, now has a lucrative career in electrical engineering, he’s thrown into turmoil about his dead-end life.

There was a movie called ‘Office Space’, a comedy about office life. It’s become a cult classic. It was written by Mike Judge, who created ‘Beavis and Butthead’. The movie stars Jennifer Aniston. Hopefully ‘Waiting…’ is as good. Seems like its the same premise.
