Guilty Pleasures – Films

July 20th, 2015 · No Comments

Over the weekend, one of the movie media links that I like on Facebook published an article about that author’s guilty pleasures – movies that the world either forgot about or considered bad that the writer actually enjoyed.

March 17th, 2015 · No Comments

Some people are making a big fuss over a photo of a kiss between ESPN College Basketball analyst Dick Vitale and actress Ashley Judd, a huge supporter of the University of Kentucky basketball. Vitale called it a “fun moment. Under no condition did I plant a kiss on Ashley,” he said in an interview with […]
