Pure Dopness Review: New Jet City
Not much good happened to me this Sunday: Ray Lewis the murdering cheating bastard won another ring foiling Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers post season run, my company mates Ryan and Rashaad lost in the final rounds of Juste Debout Holland, my cell phone charger broke, but worst…. and I do mean worst of all […]
Spoil-Free Reviews!: Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters
There are really terrible movies that I hate to love: Transformers, The Expendables, Abraham Lincoln-Vampire Hunter, or really most of Jason Statham’s movies.
