Posted on September 19, 2010 by Jason C. Romero

I’ve been addicted to the Sarah Connor Chronicles, a Terminator series spin-off, over the past several weeks. I’ve been watching it on Netflix and I’m almost through with it. They only shot about two seasons. I feel like the show … Continue reading →

Jennifer’s Body was ridiculous in ways I couldn’t have predicted.

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Jason C. Romero

The Internet is My Religion Pt. 2

Posted on March 9, 2009 by Jason C. Romero
