The narrator states right at the beginning of ‘500 Days of Summer’ that this film is not a love story. You think, “Yeah right. It has a boy, a girl, and its about their relationship, how is that not a love story.” Well, I’ll further afirm the fact, that ‘500 Days of Summer’ is not …

I suddenly understand Wayne Campbell at the feet of Alice Cooper explaining his unworthiness: 13, 15, 17 years in the making (seriously, who can keep track at this point?), the now mythical release of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy has finally been revealed and I can’t imagine a three paragraph review is going to do …
