The Date is Set — Yet the Truth is Still Out There…
“The date is set,” the Cigarette Smoking Man told us, back in 2002. December 22, 2012. Fans of The X-Files know what I’m talking about, of course. In the closing minutes of the series finale, we learned the date set for the coming alien invasion of the Earth: Decem

From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews American Graffiti (1973)
