It's safe to assume that James Franco loves literary adaptations. The Adderall Diaries is based on a memoir of the same name by Stephen Elliot. Franco played Stephen, a writer who seems to be at the height of his career. His agent constantly calls him about various book deals and options. There's even a new romance in the air, as …

FlixChatter Review: Run All Night (2015)
Liam Neeson has struck gold with TAKEN and he’s been doing the same kind of movie since. It could be that he’s now being typecast or that he prefers the big paychecks; I’m thinking it’s a little bit of both. Whatever the case, he’s great as the action hero who can take down countless baddies …

Music Break: Apollo 13 Main Title – RIP Neil Armstrong
I learned of Mr. Armstrong's death this afternoon as I was on my computer break all day yesterday. He died from complications from a heart surgery, he was 82. I felt a sudden loss of words reading that the first man on the moon has now passed on. Though I hadn't been born on July …
