Haven’t done one of these in awhile… but COVID-19 has most of us locked in our homes so watched a few more classic films (not all on Turner Classics, like past posts). So here’s a run down since the last … Continue reading
Rented a teen indie comedy called Banana Splits on iTunes. It’s a new release, but one always intended for streaming (so the price is reasonable). Banana Split is about a teen girl who breaks up with her boyfriend, meets … Continue reading
