Movie Reviews:
- tmdb15435519: One of the funniest films I have watched in some time. Great writing and acting.
- Fishburne, Carell, and Cranston make up an unlikely trio that embarks on an epic journey of forgiveness. At once critical and respectful of the US, a reminder that what makes a country is those that choose to live and die for it.
