Duplicity proved to be lackluster
Each actress has a character in a movie they fit the mold for best. Cameron Diaz, for example, always plays the best dumb blonde; for Angelina Jolie, it’s the macho woman, and for Julia Roberts, it’s the careless, fun-loving, take-her-home-to-mom girlfriend.

In case you weren't already aware, you're not perfect
Medical issues are nothing to laugh at – unless, of course, they happen to be your own. (Okay, I can potentially see laughing at a friend who just found out he or she had something like Restless Leg Syndrome – but laugh behind his or her back.) This semester has been nothing but a medical [...]

While other Christian universities (such as Evangel University in Missouri) require that all students sign a declaration of faith that publicly professes a personal belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, Lee has no such requirement. Instead of asking [...]

The Thrill of the Hunt
I’ve heard it said that half the fun of a relationship is in getting there. For the guy, it’s the thrill of the hunt. For the girl, it’s the joy of being pursued.
