A couple weeks ago I wrote a piece where I bashed the new Jason Statham bomb, in theaters now, for being a very weak effort to draw in money for using a fairly big name action actor, in an already weak plot to make a few more dollars. Now, we see that it does not … Read more
For some, this may not be important. But this is my 200th article, so I decided to post it on Tax Day, so that I would make something nice out of an otherwise depressing day. This is as the result of five years of Blogging now, starting from my little Blogger site hosted with Google, … Read more
When I was growing up, my mother had this thing she would like to tell me… something that she, in turn, heard from her Grandmother. “Wish in one hand and piss in the other, see which gets full the fastest.” I am sure that there are many variations on this saying, and I am sure … Read more
