Collision Earth (DVD) Review

Collision Earth is a film that blends together sci-fi and disaster movies in a way that is seemingly realistic. The title links together up and coming actors (Diane Farr of Numb3rs, Andrew Airlie of Reaper) in a title that draws from films like Armageddon and Apollo 13.  Collision Earth captures the drama when Mercury is set into motion; when a comet strikes the Sun, Mercury is the planet unlucky enough…

Heads In Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality (Book)

Probably the most surprising revelation from Jacob Tomsky’s Heads In Beads, the highly entertaining behind the scenes look at the hospitality industry, is the fact that he’s still working in it, (at least by the end of the writing of the memoir he was.
