About the New Live-Action Avatar…
To be honest, I probably won’t be writing a review of the new Avatar adaptation. It’s not any good, but it won’t go down in history as one of the worst abominations of all time the way Shyamalan’s film did. Suffice it to say that it has no reason to exist, and society really needs…

Why Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” Is the Worst Novel I’ve Ever Read
Find out why Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand is the worst novel I have ever read.

Top 5 Star Wars Themes
