Another gorgeous review. I read them because I’m interested in what you have to say but also because they’re written so brilliantly well. I’m in love with your writing and this movie reviews gig is aces! Xxx
Awww, thanks, Stevie. I definitely get to see lots of stuff way off the radar and I love that! Unfortunately I haven’t been assigned much recently that I have ended up liking! This is a weird time of year for movies.
I keep thinking about your comment about how most gambling movies end exactly the same way, with an extravagant big bet and devastating loss.
