Freelance is a pretty decent action/comedy starring John Cena’s enormous face as a married guy who probably listens to Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads a LOT. He wants more from life so when a surprise Christian Slater asks … Continue reading
I recall the Milli Vanilli saga from back in the day… and my indifference and skepticism when the news broke. In my naivete, I wondered what the big deal was… the catchy tunes remained catchy tunes. Someone else sang them… … Continue reading
