Serious Potter Mania


We were in New York for a few days a couple of weeks ago, as you might remember. Or maybe not. Before we got there, there was a little airport shenanigans on both ends. Not ours, oddly enough. First, we were at Raleigh-Durham International waiting for our flight, and I pulled out my notebook to…
While, yes, it is a flashback movie, and I generally find flashback movies a bit lazy, I just started watching Miracle at St. Anna and, damn, does that movie has a strong opening. Who’s with me? Anyone? Also, Rosie is getting a new talk show. I almost feel bad for her. It seems kind of…
