If I caught you up relatively early this morning (very early if you are on the west coast) and you missed out on some earth-shattering comedy this last calendar year, you’ll thank me for this review. The well known Brit comedy duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost–You may know them Shawn of the Dead,…
Baddie – That good old college try. Lesson – I’m adding Russia to my list of dangerous places, right after Australia.
