Review: Ghost Rider

Filed under: HeroicWallpapers, Movie Reviews — Jim Murphy @ 2:49 pm

You need to make it READABLE! if you need to highlight to read the text then go back and change the text.

Someone dies.”, they can’t do better? But that seems to be the only thing I don’t like about the show. I also like Smallville so maybe a tv critic I shouldn’t be. Maybe I should get to the point now.

Spolierish stuff ahead maybe (more…)
