A Movie Lover's Prayer
You want better movies? Pay for better movies.
Last week Warner Bros. released Cloud Atlas, a grandly ambitious film that provides the viewers with an experience that’s almost impossible to describe.

Game Of Thrones: What Is Dead May Never Die
So I finished the first two seasons of Game of Thrones last night and I have thoughts. Spoilers ahead. And “What is dead may never die” is also a zombie reference - right?

TDKR: Nolan Giving Up on Humanity?
Just got back from seeing The Dark Knight Rises and I thought I’d make my first blog post here about the movie.
