What’s the deal with sequels? It’s something concerning creative bankruptcy when, looking at the American 2007 summer movie season, all of the big blockbusters are continuations of stories on celluloid. The big movies are the following: The Hills Have Eyes 2, Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean (3): At World’s End, Shrek The Third, Hostel [...]

Not as far but just as interesting as El Valle, Chicá in the Campana region of the interior is a great way to escape the city whether you’re in the mood to relax, do something fun or live out an RPG campaign. I went with some friends in order to congregate in the spirit of [...]
