Fabulous. Sub Evil Boy waxes eloquent over here. I’ll just say it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. The awe and wonder of the natural world is incredible. This movie brought a tear to my eye. Go … Continue reading

Mr and Mrs Smith

Best movie I’ve seen in eons. A wonderful mixture of real life and fantasy. The acting was great especially by the kids. It was nice to see a northern English town portrayed as something other than bleak and dreary. The … Continue reading
