Short Kings! Ben Wang is only 5’5″ and he plays Li Fong, a kid living with the memory of being a total pussy when his brother got jumped. Part of the plot is Li Fong teaches Pacey from Dawson’s Creek Kung Fu to win a boxing match. Yeah…(if he wanted to win he should haveContinue reading “Karate Kid: Legends”

No spoilers! The perfect “Must-See” picture to kick off this next blockbuster summer. The deaths in this film are not wasted–like an assassin with a limited amount of bullets.

Yes, I am stealing the episode title from an election episode of South Park–deal with it. I felt hopeful, half the country did. Then we lost. We have manners and college degrees so we never claimed the other side stole it from us. I am more excited than ever for the new President of Mexico,Continue reading “About Last Night”

I finally saw this movie. It’s super gay.
