TV and Movie 9/24 – House, Heroes, The Fall

I downloaded The Fall on a whim.  Never heard of it before, but it was in the HD section of my movie download source and it has a pretty good rating on IMDb so I figured I’d give it a shot.  Usually when I do this I watch about 5 minutes of the movie [...]
