As I’m watching Fast & Furious 6, I can’t help but think how cool I thought the first movie was. The rest of the franchise does not blow my skirt up as much. I can’t put my finger on what makes me enjoy a film more than others, so I…

When shopping, do you only look for the absolute cheapest items and products around? Don't confuse looking for a good deal with being cheap either. I love a good deal, but never want to be cheap about it. Great products or services are usually never the cheapest. There's also usually…
