Rockstar Games I really do yearn for the days of video rental stores, especially if they had a kick-ass video game store hooked onto them the way my local Hollywood Video stores all ha…
Let's get down to brass tacks right out the gate: as first episodes go, this one is solid. It establishes a lot without a big info-dump, and it begs viewers to tune in on Friday fo…
It's a Christmas romance movie. Based on a John Green book. I am not. The target audience. For this. But Netflix decided I just had to see every laugh line of the movie in one super…
Released two days after the Pearl Harbor attack, The Wolf Man easily could have been rejected as an inappropriate diversion and ignored in favor of more optimistic, light options. It'…
Halloween always has me rushing somewhere to get something at the last minute. I guess I reveal my true self in working on a costume: I show a lot of promise for someone as disorganized and…
