The new X-Files is what you expect, but not.
Remember the good old days of early X-Files episodes which weren’t obsessed with the whole alien conspiracy theories, smoking men and Mulder’s daughter?
The movie is like that and it works. Scully smokes up the screen, and together with Mulder they just make you wish you were an [...]

Yes. As the title says, it is your chance to help me pick a new phone.
Here’s what I have at the moment.

I have to physically force it in whichever direction I want to make it do [...]

I’m alive!
