Well, here’s another one I think I’m obligated to hate but didn’t. Miller’s Girl is a southern gothic starring a mismatched pair of actors who don’t get to slink as much as they do. I hope they had a good … Continue reading
This documentary is so slight its over before it even begins. It’s such a cursory examination of the book burn… I mean banning – (aka social mockery) that I might as well have just looked up videos of school board … Continue reading
