We Didn’t Start The Fire – Movie References
—
Billy Joel made an historical hit in 1989, with pop song We Didn’t Start The Fire. Historical pop songs are a small genre (I can also think of One Week and Big Bang Theory, both by the Bare Naked Ladies), but mighty catchy to listen to, try as you might to catch all the cool…

Quiz – How well do you know Freddie Mercury?
Even though I included a few musical questions, I wanted this quiz to honor Freddie Mercury the man, not just the band Queen.

Movie Review – Pitch Perfect 3
—
Pitch Perfect 3 did not disappoint. These movies are always fun and totally crazy, just like the actors and actresses they cast. Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson have fantastic chemistry together, and work the screen like it’s a catwalk. This third installment was a bit more action oriented, which I found refreshing. I think anyone…
