When The Fast and the Furious came out several years ago, I thought how hilariously silly it all was, even if the action was terribly enjoyable. Face it, people love fast cars, big explosions, gun fights, and this series has all of that. Minus good acting. But hey, you don’t really go see movies like…
We Get Political, Because It’s Important
Just a reminder, the 2008 United States Presidential Election is Tuesday, November 4th, 2008. Make sure you are registered to vote 30 days before the election, or your vote doesn’t count.
