Baddie – Low-personal motivation. Lesson – I suck at making lists. I thought I might end this year in movies with some general thoughts/mini reviews/reflections, since this was my first full year as a columnist. We started this year with Piranha: 3D and ended with the odd Finnish Rare Exports. We watched a lot of Australian…
Ah, Christmas is looming, you know, as it does. I won’t be saying anything new by telling y’all how much I love this time of year, nor will I be breaking into new territory by recommending some Christmas movies for you to watch this week. You’re on top of that. You’ve got Rudolph the Red…
