Revisiting "Speed Racer"

It now seems unfortunate that I never saw this film in theatres. It was probably because of the acclaim that “Iron Man” was receiving and the lashing that “Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” got from fanboys. This film was for the most part badly reviewed garnering only a measly 36% from … Continue reading

Sinead O'Connor

I’ve eaten at Logan’s a total of two times, and that was last year. Vanessa doesn’t care for the place either. I hadn’t eaten all day, … Continue reading
