Mike Pierce wears many hats. Sometimes, he’s a blogger and internet personality over at iWatchMike.com. Sometimes he’s a movie reviewer and connoisseur. Sometimes he’s an MC and promoter out on the Houston club scene. But the one thing that Mike Pierce, a.k.a. Mike The Movie Guy, never is? Boring. Mike is the business of fun, being a [...]
