Movie Review: Rise of the Guardians
As I’ve said in other posts, I have certain psychological issues that flare up every once in a while that make it difficult for me to concentrate when I go see movies (or read books). It’s been happening again lately, but I must maintain my blog. Anyway, I saw “Rise of the Guardians” a couple [...]
