Dirty Depp

by Tony Shea May 13, 2013

I Love a Man in Uniform

by Mary Kay Holmes May 1, 2013

I have a thing for superheroes. Not comic books or illustrations or that dude in the Spiderman outfit outside Trader Joe’s advertising the sushi joint next door. I’m talking about buff, macho actors in skin tight unitards with broad shoulders and fiberglass molded six packs saving the day. If there’s a montage of a dude […]

I’ll Judge a Book by its Cover

by Jay Hood December 20, 2012

This will be the least informed review you could possibly ever read. I can guarantee you I’ve never read any of these books. I should probably apologize in advance to anyone who loves these books. They might be works of a genius. They might be the best books of the year. Or, they might not. […]
