Is Nicolas Cage a real-life vampire?

If this isn't a photograph of the immortal Nicolas Cage, then we definitely found his doppelgänger.
Vampires have been all the rage in pop culture over the past few years. Not being a huge vampire fanatic myself, even I have Vampire Diaries recorded on my DVR every week.

Our first day at the Magic Kingdom. I had no idea we'd be engaged by the end of the night!
My boyfriend and I have been together for a little more than 2 years now, and I’ve always been a tough one to surprise. I knew he’d already purchased an engagement ring weeks before our trip to Orlando with his family, but I had no idea what the ring looked like, or when he’d pop... Read more »

ThunderCats (2011) Review

I’m ashamed to admit that I actually forgot the new ThunderCats series was premiering last week. As of late, most of my television viewing has been via Netflix Instant Queue.
