I’ve watched the various live action Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies and I kind of dig their askew view of middle school. And I even “read” one of the books with the same reaction. When I saw that Disney … Continue reading
Cute coming-of-age film set in 1999 about a 12 year old girl who tries to connect with her dead parents by finding the songs on the (damaged) mixtape she found in their belongings. The tape is full of mostly punk … Continue reading
