Also caught the latest film version of Little Women… did you know there was a new remake of Little Women actually out in theaters right now? You didn’t? No surprises there… terrible marketing, no faith by the studio, I suspect. … Continue reading
Checked out the new movie White Boy Rick, based on the trust story (slightly altered) of a Detroit teenager in the 80s who becomes a bit of a drug kingpin. This isn’t a story I knew about but watched a … Continue reading
