If I were to remake the list below, Deathly Hallows would easily and handily fall at number 1. It wouldn’t even be a debate. Let’s just get this out of the way, right here: to me, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was easily the best film of the series, the best adaptation of a […]
Earlier this year my father bought Life Magazine’s “100 People Who Changed the World”. I read the thing cover to cover. There were tons of omissions, none quite so confounding to me as Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. My dad didn’t understand why I insisted that the 26-year-old billionaire should be on the list, […]
Full disclosure: Although I’ve never joined a fan club, written a celebrity a letter, or started a blog dedicated to my love for a boy band member, Ben Affleck is the closest thing I have to a life-long celebrity obsession.

The fact that a skinny chick like Jolie is in practice a hundred times more badass than Hollywood’s […]

But what the hell does it all mean? SPOILER WARNING. I purposefully left my review vague, so you could read it without having seen the movie. No such promises will be made here> It’s understandable if you’re left scratching your head at the end of Inception. I think you’re meant to be. Nolan and co. […]
