Read moreThis has to be either one of the most skewed statistics ever reported, or I am so far off with my understanding of consumers and what they enjoy.

Read moreWe went from a week of some remastered classics in Braveheart and Gladiator to now I’m recommending Crank. Lots of fun picks this week but I felt Crank would be best suited for you action fanatics looking to max out your theater sound. Freddy & Jason was a fun ride as well for you horror fans, and Fringe was a […]
