Kristin’s Rental of the Week:
This is the time of year when all of us could use a little bit of brainless entertainment — especially in my little part of the world. The weather’s cold; the skies are cloudy; the days are pretty drab and dull. So that makes it the perfect time for a big, explosive guilty pleasure like 2012.
