Movie Review: Prometheus

Like probably most everyone, I looked at this movie’s title and was, like, ‘Huh?’ because ‘prometheus’ is not a real word. I figured it must mean something, though, so I spent a lot of time dissecting it, while I waited for a boring commercial to be over. Then, I saw the… Read full post »

Movie Review: Green Lantern

The color green can mean a lot of things in movies. Sometimes green is meant to be money, sometimes green is meant as clean energy like solar-powered windmills or cars that create electricity, but other times the word ‘green’ means drugs (i.e. pot, weeds, marijuana, lcd, etc.)
