With a Grim Determination to See It to the End
Being Rose (2017) Looking through the films on Prime Video last night, I came across this one from 2017. Susan likes shows about cowboys, so it could be good for both of us, I thought. I was wrong. It was … Continue reading →

They Say “With Age, Comes Wisdom” but Does It?
