Yeah, so as I mentioned last week, I’m now writing from London, England. To commemorate my change of scenery, I chose to review an American movie that takes place in Rome. Well, this week I’m going to review an English movie about English people! How apt, I know. Zulu (1964) The Plot: You’ve heard of…
