In Case You Were Wrestling an Anaconda

Note: This will be a recurring blog post. The last entry focused on pop culture articles and while this one has its fair share, there’s also more randomness and seriousness. Here are links to stuff (stories, photos, videos, etc.) I found interesting over the past few days:

“Valentine’s Day” focuses on various couples whose stories intertwine. The trailer doesn’t give anything else away (nor does it use the best song it could [...]

Charlize Theron Can Tickle Your Funny Bone

Two Movies, ‘Sunshine,’ and ‘The Fountain,’ Defy Expectations – and Not in a Good Way

I recently decided to watch “Sunshine,” expecting an action movie and “The Fountain,” expecting a romantic movie of the epic sort. No such luck.
