Media Maven’s Random Wednesday O’ Fun

Heroes – Season 2, Episode 6 – “The Line”
I will be shocked if there is a single person among you who was satisfied with last night’s episode, or who is at all satisfied with the way this season is going for that matter. There were a few glimmers … Continue reading

5 Reasons I Refuse To See “Bee Movie”
