BLAINE LEE PARDOENeither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.
OVIDI bizarrely think that this [Sin City] is the perfect date movie. If a guy took me on a date to see this movie, I would marry him, for sure. It’s bad-ass chicks and rad dudes, who are sexy, all over the place, and there’s so much cool action.
