It's The Perfect Time For Abby Sciuto's NCIS Return, So I'm So Disappointed About Pauley Perrette's New Announcement

Considering everything happening in the franchise right now, Abby has the perfect opportunity to come back toNCIS, so I am so disappointed to learn about Pauley Perrette’s latest announcement.

Love Hurts Review: I Couldn't Help But Laugh Throughout Ke Huy Quan's Enjoyably Campy Valentine's Day Actioner Despite Major Flaws

There have been quite a few films lately tackling the romance genre, and specifically Valentine’s Day, differently.Heart Eyesgave the genre a horror spin, whileLove Hurts— also set around Valentine’s Day — comes alive with action and well-choreographed fights.
