Book Review: Man Up! Tales of My Delusional Self Confidence by Ross Matthews

05/21/2013 By Heather Leave a Comment

Ross-Mathews-Man-Up-Photo-2.13.13Ross Matthews is right about one thing – any self-confidence he feels about his writing skills is without a doubt delusional.  He’d have to be out of his mind to think that readers will actually be entertained by the garbage he passes off as a book. (more…)

The Breakdown: Once Upon A Time In Wonderland Trailer

Once Upon A Time HeaderI’m a little hesitant when it comes to spin-offs, mostly because I am still ticked with some of the paths Angel’s story took post Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I have to admit Once Upon A Time In Wonderland looks like it could far surpass the show that spawned it. (more…)
