Second Look: Adopting Terror

Now that 2012 is coming to a close I, just like countless other humans, have entered a very reflective state. Aside from a few personal challenges, my look back to 2012 includes a lot of moviegoing - that said, this was a big year for movie buffs! From the Avengers finally assembling to the Dark Knight Rising; motion pictures were all the rage in 2012.

I've also noticed that, my perspective on movies has changed quite a bit. Up until the last 12 months, I was always caught up in the status quo when it came to my movie choices.

The Work Wife

Thank Goodness for Rasheed Wallace

I for one am pleased that the New York Knicks' Rasheed Wallace was eject from their December 2nd match up against the Phoenix Suns, but not because I hate "Sheed"; more so because I love what his return from retirement brings to NBA Basketball.  The December 2nd ejection marked the 31st time in his career he's been removed from a professional basketball game by an on-court official and I simply loved it.
