Ah, this author still recalls going to his local theatre to catch a rare triple-bill showing of the three original Star Wars films. We watched Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi on the big screen in one day. As a kid things could not get any better […]

Power Rangers (2017) Review
April 8th, 2017 
Carl Williams

January 25th, 2017 Carl Williams
Netflix recently updated their Android app to allow users to download shows for off-line viewing. This was great news for many as it helped alleviate data usage while on the go.

DirecTV Now Review
December 18th, 2016 Carl Williams
It is kind of weird reviewing a television service provider but here it is. DirecTV Now just launched and there is a bit of buzz about it, some from confused people.
