Review: I Finally Found My (Nearly) Perfect Little Women Movie

December 28, 2019 By Lorilee - 11 Comments

I’ve heard from some of you who still prefer the 1994 treatment starring Winona Rider as Jo. Let’s not forget the 2018 … [Read more...]

10 Thoughts on The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Movie

September 11, 2018 By Lorilee - 10 Comments

I know! This movie has been out for a month already. Forgive my belated review, but my blog fell down and it couldn't get up--at least not without the help of my trusty web guy, Dan.
