Viewed on December 22, 2012 on Netflix Streaming This was my third time watching this movie, and it’s still just as entertaining as the first time. Easily my favorite Adam Sandler movie. He’s played the troubled simpleton before, but never so interestingly. I’m actually invested in this character and would want to follow his life […]

What’s it about? On July 4th 2009, the small bayside town of Claridge, MD experienced a strange epidemic. People suddenly began to break out in painful boils and rashes.

You might not know the story of Mark O’Brien. I didn’t. He was a poet and a journalist, and as a child he had polio. It left him unable to move any part of his body below the neck. He still had feeling in all of his body; his muscles just didn’t work properly, which […]

Now this is what I’m talking about: an action(ish) movie with well-developed characters you can actually care about and whose well-being through the end is not a given.
