Prisoners: Battling The Darkness (Movie Review)
I’m a fan of Hugh Jackman and Terrence Howard, but I went to Prisoners reluctantly. It looked like Taken only with more of an exploratory moral conscience. If you’ve seen the trailer, you know it’s dark, as the two aforementioned actors play fathers whose daughters … Continue reading

FF Rant: Free Agents of Change Week 3 (Fantasy Football)
I have a cold. And when I have a cold, I’m whiny. Which is what I’d be if I was someone who took my advice last week. Seriously, James Starks? Oh wait, it wasn’t his fault, he got hurt. Philip … Continue reading
