Review – Shakes the Clown

★☆☆☆☆ Shakes the Clown happened to be on a list somewhere. Some men’s magazine posted a list of 100 or so movies they thought every guy should have seen in their life already. Guess I’m not doing bad because I had seen over half of them. I am deeply saddened…

Little New York – You Have No Dreams

Sounds like a harsh entry for a blog, but in truth it needs to be written. Please allow me to illustrate. I saw an episode of Castle recently where some guy’s kid had been abducted. When they asked him about ransom the man replied “The divorce left me over $30K…
