M and I sat down and watched Fantastic Four last night. Due to the movies rating of 26% Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot but I enjoyed it. It wasn’t the best movie I’ve seen, and … Continue reading

Movies I Watched This Week
Shopgirl – Simple curiosity prompted me to watch this film and I’m very glad I did. It plays with some of the same themes as Lost in Translation and Rushmore. Steve Martin plays a man who falls for a shopgirl, … Continue reading
