Remember those books where the ending you got depended on which plot you chose? Imagine being able to do the same thing with a television show. HBO took that concept and while they didn't completely transfer it, they certainly updated it to incorporate today's technology. Imagine an app for your phone that allows you to choose dif...

Author George Harrar takes this idea and twists it i... Read More

American Animals

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2018 9:20 AM EDT
Why is it movies about heists always make it seem so easy as if anyone could rob a bank or armored car? It promotes a false sense of hope as well thought out plans seem to go off without a hitch (well not always but you know what I mean). It's not surprising then that four College kids decided, planned and executed a heist to steal ... Read More
