As a result of our crowded post schedule last week, I didn’t have a chance to throw together a recap of last Monday’s episode of ‘Alcatraz’. Let’s try to get that done before tonight’s new episo...
Best thrift store window display ever! Pictures after the page break.
Super Bowl weekend doesn’t usually result in big box office earnings, but this year proved otherwise. The top five movies pulled in an estimated $95.9 million, up 31% from the same period last year. Even more surprising is t...
