A few years ago I had the privileged to see a film that quickly became one of my favorites of all time. Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario was a film unlike any I’d ever seen before. An incredibly dark adult thriller that looked at morality, justice, and the divide between […]
Hey everybody, it’s time to take another trip into the weird and wild world of Stephen King! I haven’t read a King book since last year when I discussed Mr. Mercedes on the site, but he’s an author that I need to peak in on every few months, seeing […]
