Now I’ll admit when it comes to movies, I’m a little out of my depth. I’d say I’m a fairly average cinephile. I see most of the big blockbusters and award winners, but some solid flicks fall through the cracks with me most years. As a result, I wouldn’t ordinarily be the one to ideate…

Debunking the SEC: Does It Really Deserve That Much Credit?
