King Solomon’s Mines To think that there was actually a time where the very concept of a franchise like Indiana Jones and a movie like Raiders Of The Lost Ark was thought of as being commercially unviable, so much so that Tom Selleck (the first choice of both Lucas and Spielberg) would quickly slam the […]
King’s Speech It really is quite quaint and amusing the way that British people still cling to the idea of having a Royal Family to worship and regard in awe (even while their tax dollars go to their upkeep) when mostly the only purpose they serve is to have various public screw-ups to keep the […]
