So I checked out the profoundly weird and possibly outright misguided movie The Book of Henry over the weekend. This flick is about a mom who can’t deal with the complexities of life so she relies on her 11 … Continue reading
Checked out the film Megan Leavey, the true story of a US marine and her working military dog sent to Iraq to sniff out bombs and her state-side attempt to adopt the animal. It is a new release with fairly … Continue reading
