Two Hours Not In Bruges
Movie/DVD Review Sunday!
2 Days In Paris is a movie that starts off funny and interesting, but kind of falls apart by the end. N and I watched the DVD last night and enjoyed it, with some reservations. It’s the story of two lovers Marion and Jack, played by Julie Delpy and Adam Goldberg, who [...]
