Now You See Me is probably not a movie that greatly benefits from repeated viewings, but it is one hell of a fun time. Like Ocean’s 11 with a bit of a Shyamalan twist (from before that became an insult), the movie mostly coasts by on a summer blast of cool carried on the shoulders […]
Wow. I am super not qualified to objectively talk about this book in even a pseudo opinions-are-never-really-objective way. I have zero distance from this thing. I am in it, it’s all up in my grill, welcome to patient 0/the point of impact. Have a nice day. But I really want you to know about Eleanor […]

It’s quite flawed and I could nitpick some of the style for years but. Dang. This book could be a lifeboat. I mean. […]
“Danger is real. Fear is a choice” –Possible Scientology Propaganda I like Will Smith. You like Will Smith. Your grandmother likes Will Smith. Everybody likes Will Smith.
