I looked back at the page and realized it was wrong. My name was spelled wrong. I had spelled my name wrong. “Can I- umm, my handwriting is so bad… can I do it again?” I made up an excuse on the spot and hoped the tech didn’t notice the spelling. It wasn’t even like it was a small mistake-…

I’ve been on Marvel Movie Month and have hit the big blockbusters for all the favorites: Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor. I hear a bunch about how much people love Spiderman (coming next week) and non-marvel superheros as well, but I rarely hear a lot about Ant-Man.

He has a crazy procedure performed on him to save his life after injuries and is hidden in a cave in the middle of no-where. He is instructed that he…
1 CommentA few years ago I watched a variety of random new movie releases and sequels that sounded fun and that I would be heartbroken to miss. The four movies I made it to- Jumanji, Star Wars, Pitch Perfect 3, and The Greatest Showman didn’t sound on the surface like they would have that much in common. But I was astounded…
Leave a CommentEvery time the Olympics are on I start thinking about Cool Runnings. Cool Runnings is one of my favorite movies of all time. If you haven’t ever seen it (and I really think you should), the movie is about the first Jamaican bobsled team in 1988. Three of the men on the team are Jamaican qualifying sprinters who don’t make…
