marzo 6th, 2010In which I review movies that are already on DVD
marzo 5th, 2010Meh. I expected more from this film. It was waaaay too long, and I have a well-documented hatred of long movies. I added it to my Netflix queue because I have a little crush on Aziz Ansari, but he was only in the movie for about 2 minutes. I wanted more Aziz, Aubrey Plaza, and [...]
