Nov. 9th, 2016 06:54 pm
”SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE” (2008) Review
After finally seeing the 2008 Academy Award winning Best Picture, ”SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE”, I am beginning to suspect that this film had garnered a great deal of unnecessarily extreme reactions.

One of them is the period action comedy, "THE NICE GUYS". ( Read more... )
