Saw the new Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson action flick Faster. I think I’m alone on this, but I thought this was a brilliant, sad, sorrowful film. I’m probably wrong on this one! It shouldn’t be good, but there was just … Continue reading
And when I am Number Four Part 2 comes out, I’ll rate it 2 stars because it will have no stars… har. But seriously folks, I’m here all week. Anyhow, this is a young adult sci-fi bounty hunter, on the … Continue reading
