Another Take From Zac: Film Review: Salt (Angelina Jolie)
Salt is an interesting film that twists your loyalties and features a great action turn by Angelina Jolie and while the film doesn’t knock it out of the park it is a pretty good grounding for the film’s larger goal. Evelyn Salt is a spy for the CIA who is winding down and about to […]
SALT
The Simpsons’ spot-on Behind the Music parody contains one of my favorite lines in the history of the show. As they’re going to commercial the narrator solemnly intones, “The dream was over.
