The action flick not only reignited Keanu Reeves star status with his badass turn as the titular ex-hitman, but also introduced the world to the action choreography genius of stuntmen-turned-debut-directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch. But the movie wasn’t all just incredibly well …
Gearbox isn’t ready to draw the curtain on their lucrative Borderlands franchise yet. A franchise that will continue on current-gen only, that is.
Cash once ruled Colorado commerce. From Denver’s neighborhood diners to mountain-town gift shops, physical …
