Beanie Babies – Did You Get Scammed?
The Beanie Bubble is a totally fun romp chronicling the rise and fall of people’s obsession with Beanie Babies. I remember that my mother went on a hunt for the “Diana Beanie ” when she was in Canada and scored one for my son. Zach Galifianakis is brilliant as Ty Warner, as is Elizabeth Banks […]
Barbie – So Pretty In Pink!

Oppenheimer? HUGE YES!
Christopher Nolan’s latest opus is nothing short of brilliant! Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer is Oscar worthy but let us not overlook the brilliance of Robert Downey Jr, as Lewis Strauss. Of all the roles in his career, this is superb. His malevolent narcissistic Machiavellian portrayal is simply brilliant. One should not overlook the wonderfully nuanced performance by […]
