Belle Reve Prison Whenever Batman Vs. Superman:  Dawn of Justice hit the big screen earlier this year, fans were split over how good the film really was.  I enjoyed it, but there were plenty more people out there that thought it could have been better or that it was out and out horrible.  The releaseContinue reading “Hitting And Missing Those Squad Goals”

A “Serial” Killer Event!

A Nerd Turns Forty

On Top Of The Hill And About To Go Over I recently turned forty years old.  It’s something that I highly suggest all people do at least once in their lives.  For some it’s just another trip around the sun.  For others, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the life that they have lived andContinue reading “A Nerd Turns Forty”
