It is [...]
I read We Need To Talk About Kevin a while back and am not sure why I never wrote up about it. This was a very powerful book for me and for whatever reason I never wrote anything up about it. Maybe the story hits too hard or maybe I don’t know how to put [...]
I started getting into the show Secret Life of a Call Girl for 3 main reasons: I have Showtime for the moment so I figure I might as well try out their shows, I am on a British television kick and something about the life of a high class call girl intrigues me. There you [...]

Saturday night we watched Away We Go, mostly because I have a crush on John Krasinski and I have a soft spot in my heart for dark romantic comedies. The Basics: This couple who are months away from having their first baby they start to ponder their lives wondering if they are “fuckups” so they [...]
The Basics: Paranormal Activity is a Blair Witch-esk type movie about a couple who decide to investigate (via videotape) to see if there is paranormal activity in their house. Some of the movie is just them, being a couple, but the real stuff is the taping while they are asleep. The Good: I don’t know [...]
