Jake Gyllenhaal is on a roll. With his new film, Southpaw, the actor once again buries himself into another role. This time it’s Billy Hope, a boxer who is seemingly on top of the world. He has millions of dollars, a beautiful wife and daughter and has won 43 straight fights. After a tragedy strikes […]
I’m a sucker for dog movies, I admit it. I cry like a little bitch at the ASPCA commercials, so maybe my take on “Max” isn’t as reliable as some heartless asshole’s take. “Max” is 100 minutes of dog love, pure and simple. Dog lovers will devour this movie and be left begging for seconds. […]

Vaping, it was thought to be a freedom enjoyed by the persecuted smoker. It was thought to be safe, and yes, even some thought it to be cool. Well, Juan says you’re all full of shit! As a former smoker, I detest vaping. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. I literally laugh at […]
There’s a sucker born every minute. If that phrase is true, you can put me down as one of those suckers, those dumb asses, who watched Floyd Mayweather Jr. dance around the ring, playing paddy cake with Manny Pacquiao. There were 16,507 suckers who actually attended the event in Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. That […]
As long as I’ve been alive, I’ve associated with the Democratic Party. My grandfather is a staunch Democrat. My family drove American Cars and worked for a living, like the majority of people I know.
