So, never thought we’d live in a world where Motley Crue had a biopic on Netflix but here we are. The movie is called The Dirt and that’s a fairly accurate title. It’s based on a book the band co-wrote … Continue reading
Also checked out the new film Gloria Bell. About all I knew about it was that it has high review scores and stars Julianne Moore who I like. So going in blind. Gloria Bell is a character piece about … Continue reading
