Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
The Man Who Knew Too Much - (1956) - I have a short list of actors I will watch in anything. James Stewart is on that list (other names Henry Fonda, Denzel Washington.

The A-Team - (2010) If this movie were to be allowed to stand on its own it would probably get a passing grade. Not great, not terrible,... Continue Reading →
Let's see what have we read or watched recently? Doctor Who - (the movie) 1996 - I was all set to hate this. See being part of a cult following means that you must have decided opinions.
