Glowbar Classic

Try to use a standard black crowbar in the dark and not look like you're thief or a criminal.  Impossible.  Go ahead, try and pry open a crate at night and not appear to be stealing the contents.  Not gonna happen.  (Also, it can be hard to see.)  Whether you're…

Rarely would we consider shelling out close to 50 bucks on a movie without it including a bag of popcorn and the likelihood of some post-date action. We would, however, spend it on a copy of Senna on Blu-ray. While it won't get you laid (if it does, marry that girl) and…
