    Movie Review: “Fast Five”

      After an exciting escape from a prison bound bus, Vin Diesel (as Dominic Toretto) and team gather in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to take down the most powerful man in town…Joaquim de Almeida (as Reyes).

Neeson had a chance to warn the kidnappers: “I will find you, and I will kill you”…

  • Stanford University Campus Video Tour

    Stanford University.  Not much to say since it is so well known, but, it is in Palo Alto, CA and is a pretty nice campus. Hard as heck to get into.  And then when you are there, hard as heck to stay and possibly harder to pay for. Drive Safe!  Never Forget.
