No Comments »James Bond and the Literary World
August 4th, 2013 Geoffrey Geib License to Kill is the best James Bond movie. By far. And it’s not even close.

A Brilliant Portrayal “Fruitvale Station” (Film Review)
July 25th, 2013 John Delia The true story of an incident that boggles the mind called Fruitvale Station makes a bleak statement on the excessive power of America’s police.
