I see a lot of movies every year. A ton. But this year I’ve decided I don’t see enough movies, so one of my New Year Resolutions was to simply see more. And to write about them. See, that’s the other half of the equation: I see a ton of movies, but I write about … Continue reading
It would be easy to dismiss The Shield as “The Wire for meatheads”. And, to be fair, there’s some validity to that assessment.
