Also rented a streaming movie (via iTunes) an action comedy called Guns Akimbo. This one stars Danielle Radcliffe in his continuing utter and admirable disinterest in chasing his Harry Potter status into huge mainstream films. Hopefully it’s that and not … Continue reading
Went to see the new Ben Affleck sports/addiction film The Way Back. This is, in theory, a basketball movie that follows the basic outline of many high school or college sports movies. A man with a past has to coach … Continue reading
