Red Eye (from the BBC, on Hulu) was a bit of a mess. I’m always a sucker for airplane action shows, but they work better as movies, because there’s just no way to sustain tension on a plane for more than a couple hours. Last year’s Hijack (AppleTV) w...
Over the last couple months, I’ve been thinking about doing something to try to give indie authors a chance to see how they’re doing relative to others. It’s always interesting to me that indies are exponential. By that, I mean I look around the indi...
