I need to re-watch Breaking Bad. Not to annoy anyone on a fine Monday, but were we all a bit taken in? Do you ever walk around thinking “I must watch that again?” I don’t. It’s been a while, and looking back, Breaking Bad doesn’t seem as crazily amazing as it did on the first […]

Sequels rarely live up to the hype of the originals. That phrase has never been more true than for the sequel to the cult classic Highlander.

There once was a time where Dreamworks didn’t just make crappy Shrek sequels.  A time before movies were all computer animated. Back when teen pop stars reigned supreme (‘Oops!
