Hollywood Endings
I am a Film Freak, a Cinephile. A rewarding moment for me was when AFI, the American Film Institute, came out with their first list of the 100 greatest films (frankly their only list worth anything). By then I had already seen 98 of them! I hate Hollywood Endings. You know, where they take […]
