A long movie weekend

November 27th, 2006 · No Comments

I was sick part of the week last week. That, coupled with the Thanksgiving holiday, allowed me to get through some more movies on my never-ending list. Without further ado, from worst to best:

Random post-election thoughts

November 8th, 2006 · 1 Comment
