Viewing Notes

Movie night @Ron’s was a smashing success. Even more so considering it was on a Friday and Friday nights are typically the worst nights of the week for me. But we made it work and laughed hysterically for a large part of the night. Some truly great & funny gems we watched. I already look forward to the next movie night. We kicked it off with this and now I know where Tarantino lifted some scenes for Reservoir Dogs!
