Inception was to the summer of 2010 what the Jheri Curl was to the 80s. Which means it was AWESOME. Okay, bad example. So, unless you were a FedEx employee whose plane crashed in the South Pacific, leaving you stranded on an uninhibited island only to befriend a volleyball named “Wilson,” you heard all about Inception. I hope that reference did the trick. Boom. Roasted. … Continue reading Inception = Incredible

I was probably the oldest person in the theater without a chaperone, but I probably laughed more than any of those children. Despicable Me serves up laughs for children and the child at heart alike. Everyone knows the hilarious quotes from the advertisements for the … Continue reading Despicable Me: Something involving minions
