St. Vincent
The trailer for St. Vincent pretty much tells you the entire story, yet you still want to see it because of Bill Murray. You know that parts of it will be sappy, but still, it has Bill Murray, so could it really be that sappy? It could be, but...

Amazing Race: Feisty Zebras
It was a double episode in Africa! At the start of the first leg, Steve noticed that all the teams were sporting different colored bandanas. No explanation was given, but each team had one. When Steve noticed this, he asked, “Why is everyone wearing Tupac doorags?” Amy and I then...

The Casual Vacancy J.K. Rowling I have read the Harry Potter series and enjoyed it greatly. It has been years since I read them so I don’t remember Rowling’s writing style to compare it her style in The Casual Vacancy. I know this book disappointed many people, but did...
