Jupiter Ascending Review
With every asset and resource known to modern filmmakers, including a $175 million budget and the creative genius behind The Matrix franchise, this overblown, mind numbing, gas bag of a movie is the best the Wachowskis could come up with?

Anyone familiar with my taste in television knows how I love me some dark and dirty Ray Donovan on Showtime.

Great Gifting Suite Goods From The Artisan Group
Three things I love, and not necessarily in this oder, are savvy entrepreneurship, artistic creativity, and gorgeous goodies that you can’t find just anywhere. So, like Viola Davis, I can’t help but be drawn to the unique products The Artisan Group introduces at the GBK celebrity gifting suites. It’s really quite a clever concept. Savvy…
