No Name Calling, Just 3 Minutes Of Facts On The Romney-Ryan Plan

Accidental Art Photography with Matthew
So, my BFF Matthew Langjahr and I went on one of our periodic “accidental art” photo hunts. He does them quite often, and I go with him when I can, or when he’s coming into Hollywood. He lives in Camarillo,

Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children

Beasts of the Southern Wild
I’ve decided to write my first non-Facebook film review on Beasts of the Southern Wild. It’s a dreamlike fable, both beautiful and wild, and I guarantee it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The little girl who stars, Quvenzhane Wallis,
