It runs for way to long, has too many idiotic and infuriating moments in it, and it wastes so much potential that after seeing this movie I refuse to see any more. But enough …

How To Train Your Dragon 2 Movie Review | By Clifford T. Hofferd
Dragon Training How To Train Your Dragon was the first movie I ever saw in 3-D. It was a great movie with great characters, a great story, and some genuine emotion. How To Train Your Dragon 2 has all of those elements but somehow doesn’t live up to the original. It’s five years later and the Viking Village of Berk …

Where Is The Reality In Reality Shows | By Ron Murdock
“It’s not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity and make it work for you.” – Frank Zappa It really doesn’t say much for the overall intelligence of the human race, or its TV viewing habits, when reality shows get high ratings. I believe one reason so many of them are on the airwaves, …
