"Artemis Fowl"- Movie Review Anyone who grew up in the early 2000s knows the name Artemis Fowl.

"The Call of the Wild"- Movie Review Everyone has that one book they were forced to read in high school that they absolutely hated. For me, it was a toss-up between the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar, Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice and Jack London's The Call of the Wild. All three bored me to tears,... Continue Reading →
