Movie Review: THE FALL GUY Starring Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Real quick, think of the last good action movie you watched. Who was in it? Odds are you can tell me the names of the stars, maybe a couple of the secondary characters.

I can’t remember the first movie I ever watched, but I can easily remember the first movie that scared the crap out of me. When I was wee toddler Steve, I used to go over to a neighbor’s house for daycare. This lady had two older kids and I recall on one occasion, they put […]
