Before I Fall is yet another movie created in the image of a book because Hollywood doesn’t like fresh storylines. As someone who has read the novel, I was hoping that this movie wouldn’t turn out like the atrocity that was the Percy Jackson films. I had no doubt that any original plot would be sta...

Episode six of The Bachelor (which aired Feb. 8) was one that got everyone in America cheering. The fact that Olivia got sent home on a two-on-one with Emily, the most outspoken and sassy of the group, was so satisfying that I actually started crying.
