The idea to make a movie based on the career of NFL coach Sean Payton seems feasible. After all we’ve been given movies based on stories that are far more undeserving of the film format. But having the story be ‘loosely’ based around the ‘Bountygate’ scandal (yeah, I had to look this up too) after […]

Don’t Look Up – Review
There seemed to be a high level of intrigue surrounding this project upon first response. Comedy director Adam McKay (Anchorman, The Big Short) being joined by a star studded cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, in a satire that demonstrates the ignorance of the government and media outlets of today’s society.
