Film Review: Smashed

Smashed is a performance driven piece spurred on by the theme of alcoholism, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead baring it all to provide a truthful look at this addiction. At least I think so.

TV Rants & Ramblings: Arrow 1.7 – Muse Of Fire

Following last week’s break from the show, Arrow is back with more of a set up episode for what is in store, introducing someone with their own score to settle in Oliver’s city.
