crime… Movie #129 2021: The Drop (2014) 16 May 202111 May 2021 Oh, James Gandolfini. Words cannot express how much I love you. Simply put, he left the world way too soon, and I just wish there were more post-Sopranos movies with…
Cerebral… Movie #128 2021: Room 237 (2012) 15 May 202111 May 2021 Everyone knows Stanley Kubrick adapted The Shining into a movie. Many people know that the author of the original book (Stephen King) despised that movie. I'm one of those people…
