Lets Recap Some of Our Most Anticipated Movies of 2012

January 8 By Iggy 1 Comment

I have to say that 2011 didn’t really do it for me when it came to going to the theater to see a movie. I only went to see a handful of movies last year and I didn’t find that I was too excited about many of last years releases. Aside from Drive, I can’t […]

Books that Should be Movies

September 5 By Iggy Leave a Comment

There are so many good books out there that get made into movies but the movies don’t end up working or coming even close to as good as the books. There are a handful of books that I have read that I would love to see come to life on the big screen. I think […]

TV Suggestion: Parks and Recreation

January 28 By Iggy Leave a Comment

One of my absolute favorite shows on TV right now is Parks and Recreation. Currently in its fourth season, if you haven’t heard of it or seen an episode than you are missing out! When the show first started, it wasn’t quite sure what type of show it was. Instantly compared to The Office, a […]

Academy Award Nominations

January 24 By Iggy Leave a Comment

The Academy Award or Oscar nominations were announced today and I thought I’d share my thoughts on them. First of all they were a bit of a let down for me, very predictable and tame.
