I know that I’ve said it before, but damn, ‘Hannibal’ is a good show. Naturally, as these things go, that means that it’s struggling in the ratings. After an initially strong start, viewership has dropped o...
For this week’s contest, our prize features war, drama, big stars, an iconic action scene and one of the coolest leading men in all of cinema. We’re giving away the 1963 classic ‘The Great Escape’, and it c...
