Cinematic Junk Food
It is with great apprehension that I broach this subject matter. I usually reserved it for very close friends and family members where the teasing, laughing and pointing of fingers is kept to a minimum (most of the time). Just… Continue reading

Day 12: A Movie That Is A Guilty Pleasure
ROCKY II – V For all intents and purposes, any Rocky movie that’s followed by a roman numeral quickly degrades its predecessor: the original Oscar-winning film Rocky. Unfortunately, sometimes I end up going through all of the movies within a… Continue reading

Day 6: A Movie That Reminds You Of A Certain Event
THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN (2005) This movie is raunchy, gross, and inappropriate on so many different levels… but also extremely funny. Lisa began to reference this movie when we first started dating, since there were similarities between Andy Stitzer… Continue reading
