Let me just say now that out of all the thee big action movies of this summer, this is the only one I am dying to watch again. TMNT was not as bad as I thought it would be, it was pretty good considering what it had to work with. Expendables 3 was a fine follow-up to t...

Hello there! If it isn’t my favorite mouse :3

((For those of you wondering, I recently answered one of Mousechan’s questions. It dealt with imagining your books as films before they were complete, and I think the answer I gave them is one of the best replies in recent memory. You should check it out if you have a chance!))
