by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(October 11, 2011)
If you are looking for the ins and outs of the Green Lantern Extended version, you won’t find them here. In all honesty, I really don’t want to give the film any more of my time. Could a few more scenes here and there really make a difference?

by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(August 16, 2011)
