Our Uncle Anderson

Starring Novak Djokovic as Maria Sharapova

Oh all right. We have resisted for many years, but we are finally won over. How can we dislike a tennis player who does not take himself too seriously and is world number one? However we are not naming him father or uncle to our cats, a honor reserved for Ivanisevic, Safin and Federer (And [...]

Auntie Janey's Old-Fashioned Agony Column # 24: What a good girl really wants is a bad, bad boy

We love Daniel Craggy. Adjectives for Cowboys and Aliens, based on the cult graphic novel by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, directed [...]
