ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

My favorite Irene film is "Penny Serenade." I also really love her in "Magnificent Obsession." Of course, I'm a drama gal, as opposed to a comedy one, so that's why I lean to those films.; October 2, 2011 at 10:37 AM
