Gary is a documentary about former star child Gary Coleman. I watched his sitcom DIff’rent Strokes back in the day and I guess you could say I had a certain affinity for him just because we were around the same … Continue reading
Sweethearts is a surprisingly decent romantic comedy that has the hallmarks of a bad one but manages to be just a little bit better. Wouldn’t say it’s my favorite anything, but its pretty good. It stars Kiernan Shipka and Nico … Continue reading
