World War Z: Movie Review
In 2007, Emma Thompson — bless her heart — thought she’d found a cure for cancer. (Or, at least, the character she was playing in I Am Legend did.) It didn’t work. Instead, it turned most of the world’s population into rabid zombies — the kind that only come out at night and are out for blood. Will Smith did everything he could to survive. Brad Pitt’s dealing with a similar problem in his new movie, World War Z . He plays United Nations employee Gerry […]

Pass The Popcorn: “The Poseidon Adventure”
I remember watching and loving The Poseidon Adventure as a child. Even though I was a total baby and never had a very strong stomach for movies that threatened my sense of security, I remember being drawn to the characters enough to brave their disastrous circumstances with them.
