Mini-reviews
OK, I went a little hog wild this weekend and saw not one but two movies. Don’t worry, I didn’t take the whole weekend off or anything. I know, I owe you a (choose one): redrafted chapter; draft proposal; short article; new website; check; grade. So, three mini-reviews, two of movies, one of a preview. [...]
