I will now give you a brief, concise history of my experience with magicians. When I was but a wee little sprog, I possessed an acute fondness for magic. Were I to trace this to an exact source, I would lay the blame with Merlin from The Sword in the Stone. I was never convinced…
I was planning on reviewing The Hangover Part III (2013) this week, but as it turns out, it looks like a very bad movie. I should’ve seen that coming.
