Another Scorsese tale of criminal rags to riches ascension
The trailer for Martin Scorcese’s latest opus was just released, and it seems to hit all the touchpoints of a typical epic Scorsesian plotline.

It's not just a day to hit the mountains
Happy Martin Luther King day everyone! America’s come a long way since the 60s in terms of race relations, but any trip to a Tea Party rally will show that we still have a long way to go. Don’t let the election of Barack Obama fool you in any way. In the honor of MLK […]
