2013 Ford Escape – The fun SUV tickling our techie side
When it comes to driving, we like a lot in our car. We may not always think we want all the cool new technology, but then you experience it, and you say to yourself, “Where have you been all my life?” (Trust me when I say, you will ask yourself that).
‘Immortals’ with Henry Cavill lacked punch: DVD review
When it comes to action movies, especially Greek mythology-related ones, it is pretty easy to please me. I love sword fighting just as much as a 10 year old boy, and then add some gorgeous women and a scantily clad Henry Cavill, then I should in theory be set up for a very enjoyable movie.
Well, at More >

This book is a collection of some of the most More >
“Devil’s Playground and House of Blues Presents: Comic Book Vixens Burlesque Show” Review
I feel that I am the best writer on staff to review this, not because of my admirable writing skills, but by the pure essence of who I am: a gay male ex-dancer. Yes, there, I said it.

Starring in her first leading role in a feature-film while also co-writing and co-producing, Kristen Wiig gives us a refreshingly comedic and hilarious script that makes all of us laugh and wish that more comedies had the same set of qualities.
