I am not a huge sports fan. I prefer to play than watch. I used to be on a team which made it a natural step to watch the games as well. I was into basketball and baseball but strikes, scandals, and continuous loses ruined the sports for me. Every once in a while I…

On Friday I ventured out into the cold and saw Edge of Darkness. This is the first movie that Mel Gibson has acted in in about 5 years and he hadn’t directed anything since 2006s Apocalypto. He stepped out of the spotlight after his alcoholism got out of control and he made those anti-Semitic comments…
