“Absolutely delightful” is an understatement when describing Rocket Science, a story centering on Hal (played by Reece Thompson), a highschooler with no game and a stuttering problem, who gets the shock of a lifetime when a fellow popular classmate, Ginny, (played by Anna Kendrick), recruits him onto the high school debate team. A stutterer on the debate team? That’s right! And for the first time in Hal’s life, he finally belongs to…

With my family residing in Jacksonville, Florida, I have heard about Fred Durst for many years now. Ever since he formed the band Limp Bizkit in 1994, Durst has made his hometown incredibly proud. Jacksonville is the polar opposite of Los Angeles or NYC. “Traffic” entails 5 cars on the road. Restaurants are never full and 9-5 jobs are the norm. Weekends consist of sipping on beers at the beach, surfing, and fishing….
