Ailes got the television treatment with Showtime’s The Loudest Voice and the…

        As of writing this review, it is almost the middle of December.  This time of the year for film critics is a relatively exhausting time.  While attempting to see all the movies that are being this month, we are mainly trying to play catch-up on the movies that we missed throughout the year so that we can compile our “end of the year” lists.  It’s a great time for those who…

        Surprisingly, my life isn’t 100% consumed by movies.  When I’m not watching movies, I am also a major sports fan.  No sport is safe for my viewing, as I will watch anything from baseball, basketball, and golf to bizarre sports you might find on ESPN 8: The Ocho.  One of the narratives that’s always interested me in sports is when great players retire and the players who fill their position the…
