Fictional films are just that. However, I find a lot of these films to be silly, as they claim to recreate something with authenticity, […]
During the Pacific Campaign of WWII, Desmond Doss, a U.S. Army Medic in the 307th infantry, 77th Infantry Division single-handedly saved over 50 men during the Battle of Okinawa, a battle that the Japanese dubbed “Rain of Steel” because of the ferocity of fire.

Sometimes while I am working I like to throw in my wireless headphones and either listen to music or watch movies on my non-exploding Samsung Note 5 Android. Most of the time, I am content with really just listening while I work, even to movies, if I have seen them before. (I am on my […]
