In these movies there was a good safe cop who did things conservatively, by the book, who wasn’t in to taking unnecessary risks. Then there was the character played by Mel Gibson who was always taking risks. He would jump ...read more

The old cliché says, “Time waits on no man.” The American Heritage College Dictionary defines time as a nonspatial continuum in ...read more
