After last week’s (sadly unreviewed by me) action battle awesomefest, I spent most of this week’s Game of Thrones wanting to hug the characters. Maybe that’s not the right reaction to have to characters so completely embroiled in the Game of Thrones, but tell me you didn’t get a bit teary eyed watching Tyrion come […]

While most of the movies made by Tim Burton are pretty fun, even he is capable of making a dud every now and then (while many disagree with me, I was never very fond of his version of Alice In Wonderland). Burton’s version of Dark Shadows , on the other hand, reminded me of one of […]

I’m a twenty-something goodie-two-shoes who has never once not been able to pay […]

As the old saying goes, April showers bring may flowers. But what do May Flowers bring? Looking at the June release schedule, there are remakes/sequels that feel unnecessary, one crazy-ass mashup of history and vampires, and the winner of Best Animated Film for next year’s Oscars. Let’s dive in, Shall We? Author’s Note:  For June, […]

Let me just put it out there – I love American Idol. I love watching the kids come in, hearts on sleeves, nervous, hoping against hope they will get their “golden ticket to Hollywood”. I love watching their families and friends so anxious to see them do well. I don’t, however, enjoy the delusional truly […]
